Unraveling (and raveling)

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

Just several days ago, I had to admit defeat on the challenge to crochet an entire dress: I ended up cutting the unfinished dress in half, separating the top (sleeveless blouse) from the bottom (an over-the-knee skirt).
The reason for the failure was poor design planning: as a single-piece, the dress looked horribly unflattering on the […]

Ah, finally, after nearly 5 days, my caregiver has finished the Princess Louise Crocheted Bag. Here’s a photo of the bag.

My caregiver has washed it, and used it when we went to visit her mother yesterday. Not bad. I kinda like it, it’s pretty soft.
Here, I have placed my caregiver’s notes on the […]
