I sent in my proposal last September, and when it got accepted I worked on completing the pattern and making my own sample from the curio #10 thread they sent me. If you're interested in purchasing yarns, go look at their Summer Yarn Sale, ongoing till supplies last.

I would like to share too, what the prototype of my design looked like. A loose-fitting beach coverup, or a coverup skirt, or a shawl/cape as options in this same design.

Crochet and Knitted wearables from online shopping

I've been Shopeeing a lot these days, since late last year when I got the hang of online shopping (at Shopee.ph) Its quite addictive! Discounts, freebies, promos...and I end up spending more than I planned.

I have a weakness for items that are crocheted and knitted...even if I can crochet one for myself...they come branded, at very low price, and still in good condition at thrift shops. Though some pretty items got grabbed by other buyers quickly, I still got some nice ones.

Here are my favorites:

I'll share in my next post how I would wear some of these pieces. 

I happened to have two basic tank dresses that I found worked well to be able to wear the crochet and knit tops.
