Recycled dress on my model. (size 16 clothes that I crochet)

This is yet another dress that I have featured before but I'm just so impressed with my mannequin that I'm going to run all the dresses again that I made and showed flat last year again.

(Hanging flat on a door, is hardly a flattering way to show your work)

"As they just look so bloody good hanging this way".

C-knitty (meaning as in? crochet knit)

His idea came to me during a recent turbulent flight. I just had to make notes as I had no wool (Camping and festival) This would have guaranteed any new idea (creation) Would have got wet and dirty. (But I know better now, just wash it later) So I did a detox and went 5 whole days with out knitting.....HARD

It really was a shock horror, I am defiantly an addict and even thought of knitting with a couple of my daughter pencils (Seen a young uni student do exactly that)

But what would I knit with? I did think about the grape vines as we where in France but even that was a little too much, thus my addiction to the fluffy stuff.

"Dam no yarn shops in Clisson......"

Finally got my model but she no Kate!

Pockets

The pink is 22 stitch x amount of rows, then a crochet edge. They didn't work as they just went so out of shape.

The blue yarn, 2ND attempt and more successful. They are crochet in a half treble stitch, worked in rows and then I have edged with three rows of a blanket stitch using yarn.

Need to complete dress edge and then attempt the pocket attachment.

Swedish shopper

This is the bag that made from all the popular shops in sweden (Carrier bags). It's lacking NK but it really was not worth the spend Just for a carrier bag.

If I am going to purchase from there, i'll use my shopper. That will put smiles on faces.

Weekend candy floss poncho

I made this in a hour, 20mm hook and two wraps around of the yarn created the huge squares, I used almost a whole ball of yarn.

The poncho is a simple rectangle in design. I folded in half and stitched from the corner back up to the neckline, using a 5mm hook.

Fun, fluffy, soft yarn like candy floss.

Making of the Dress update.

Got the buttons today at a material shop, a new discovery in town. So excited about the combination that I missed my tram stop stitching them on!........ Oh well.

Need to complete the pockets, I think I am going to knit them. I need a small stitch and they need to be baggy in style. I will need to make a practice few attempts at the pockets, I guess. That's it so far.
