Knit cafe at my house!

My HND Friend just visited from UK, so it was a good time to inspire and brush up on some techniques and my daughter joined into. And yes that is a pear cider each in the back ground not tea!(not for Monet of cousre) but we are in "Sveige"

Take time to learn something new,international trying to learn Turkish Crochet. We even visited a new yarn shop.

Fab shop, knit cafe on a sunday 12 till 4 and meet a hole load of new, nice people.

This week I am mostley crochet-ing a dress!

This is the chest part. I' m again making the dress in one piece as i find this works for me and the dress takes shape as I go. Its a basque shape and then I think that I will add an elaborate sleeve. (my daughter thinks its for Cruella Devil, I just need some dalmation puppy's)

Here is the edging part. This dress is going to be only in cream, black and gray. Very winter and not my usual colour pallet. But I'm trying some thing new. The crochet I am trying to make more sculptured and how I'm achieving this is by crocheting in one piece but hopefully in different directions.

It is time to clip Peaches' claws but I can't find her anywhere. Where could she be? I don't suppose anyone out there has seen her??

I received a weird, long comment and Haloscan wouldn't let me delete it. This prompted me to completely change my blog template and lose all my old comments. I now have Blogger comments and they are moderated. The good news about the change is that my blog archives are back starting in January 2003. Please let me know if you have any problems reading the blog or posting a comment. I'm at nanetteblanchard (at) earthlink (dot) net.
