Crochet top for me

Last week I made a Crochet top using a Japanese pattern. I got hooked with the design and finished the project in 5 days.

I use 5 50gm Ice Floss Spiral yarn in 5mm hook.

Here's the pattern I use for the top.

Note:

My friend Lorie told me to wear it and take pictures. I told her I don't want too. My arms are too big and I'm shy to pose. I will update the pictures tomorrow. I will ask my student to wear it for me.  =)

Crochet Japanese Pattern

I really love the crochet japanese pattern.

I print the pattern and for me it was easy to follow and understand because the  format is in diagram.

So now I will post my fave japanese pattern.

japanese pattern beret hat

My mother send me crochet yarn last tuesday ( through her friend ate Vilma ).

She sent me 5 pcs acrylic yarn (20g each, green)  and DMC crochet yarn 12 pcs all in biege/brown shade.
I got excited about the dmc yarn as it is too thin and too cute to crochet. I found a pattern and started to crochet BUT after 2 rounds I stopped. I can't stand crocheting that small yarn. My hand hurts, my eyes hurt and my back hurts. I got frustrated, I wanted to start a new project a dress and the dmc is perfect for the project.

I wanted to do something. I wanted a new project not a shawl not a scarf so I take a second look of the yarn and decided that a hat is right for kashmir acrylic. I searched for beret pattern and found this one (http://gosyo.shop.multilingualcart.com/free1.php) . I haven't been crocheting hat since 2010 and this one is right for my comeback ( ahhihi ).

cute little top for mikay

At dahil hindi kami natuoy umuwi ngayon  I decided to crochet my remaining yarn. I want something lace, simple and easy. I browse my pattern and decided to use this one. I must say It does look good on my niece. 

Here's the cute little top I made for mikay.

and here's the pattern.

TGIF

Its Friday!

Thank God! I'm excited to get home tomorrow and check out my yarns. I'm excited to start a new project! is it a scarf? a shawl? a bag? or maybe a Halloween costume for Thor? yeah I can't wait.

All the yarns I brought here turns to a lovely project. The red shawl/scarf and the white crochet top.

For the meantime I'm going to look for socks pattern. This site is promising http://www.ullrykka.de/iblog/B567792918/C947144548/E20070430111650/index.html it has nice pictures and I think I can follow it even though the text is in German.

Gina fighting!

looking for socks pattern

I really wanted to crochet socks. It's my frustration. I've been trying to crochet but no luck. I got confused on heel part. :<
The only way I can make socks is to study knitting. But I realize that studying knitting is more confusing. O_o . It took me one week to learn how to knit. If crocheting requires patience then knitting need lots and lots of patience waaaaaah!.

I switched back to crochet after failed knitting attempt. Maybe I guess that's reason why when I go back I crochet fast ( good for me! ).

So I'm still searching and looking for crochet socks pattern in Diagram. I can follow diagram pattern better than text instructions.
