I crocheted a pair of baby booties for my blogger friend on Saturday. It only took me a few hours to complete it, and furthermore, my friend at the knitting shop helped me to “touch up” the booties and hide the loose yarns away. So, it’s one of the fastest projects I did.
I got the […]

My flower crochet top looks weird during the “making process”, but after joining up all the individual flowers of 2 sizes, you can almost see the top now.

Posted on January 13, 2008 - Filed Under Crochet, Top | 2 Comments

I completed a crochet project last week and it only took me 5 days to get it done. I have always been quick in crocheting so this time I decided to go for something more challenging. It’s a black top in Lily yarn and I only crochet with single yarn this time. Due to the […]
