I almost bought this today

That 1/2 price tag made it really tempting. But I guess I could always knit one myself.


P.S.: Did I mention that it was also in kid's size?

One very compelling reason to make a crochet vest

(via)

The way Janis Joplin rocks a crochet vest makes me want to have one too! And when you can crochet, why not try making one instead of buying one?


But I just need to source for a nice (and free) crochet vest pattern. These are what I have found so far:

I feel a lot more inclined to make the White Mest Vest because... well, it's a vintage pattern! The Flower Square Vest is a groovy vintage too. But I definitely wouldn't be making it in those funky colours. I want something just like Janis Joplin's. Something between beige and sandy brown...


I must make one crochet vest during my summer break this year. Crochet is SO HOT in fashion right now. Check out the some of the 16 Chic Crochet Clothes and Accessories on Refinery29:

Threadless Tees for knitters

I like tee shirts with wacky taglines and cute graphics. Well, I've recently bought a tee from Surfers' Paradise that says, "I LEFT MY HEART IN AUSTRALIA". Though I have not been there - yet, it'll definitely come in handy when I return the next time!

Now, what I want is a tee that tells everybody else that I am a knitter! It'll be kind of crafty-cool.

I want a Fat-bottomed bag too!

I've recently saw all these crochet fat-bottomed bags on the net. It seems like most of them got the pattern from the book, Stitch n' Bitch Crochet The Happy Hooker. There's even a tutorial for lining the bag.

Apparantly there are also videos on Youtube that teach you how to make the great FBB, but the only problem is that it's not in English.

I really like the way the bag looks. Classy yet not too old-fashioned. I thought I'd make it for my friend too! The one who's been wanting a knitted bag from me...

I WANT A FAT-BOTTOMED BAG TOO!

So I'm gonna find time to watch the videos and maybe even crack the code within...
