There is some background to this project.
This is a popular design from one of last year's books, in fact, the original pattern is meant for children but I followed some other crafters to have it made to fit an adult.
I had this pattern stashed somewhere, not quite willing to work on it until one day, I saw someone wearing a Chanel crochet bolero. Both patterns are so similar except the sleeves were much more elaborate for the designer piece, and since I can never afford a Chanel....the rest is history.
I am very happy with this piece, the color and the fit, is perfect.
Hey why isn't it in black with silver threading ala Chanel? Heehee...
ReplyDeleteBcoz thats what I have on hand, can't replicate 100% lah.
ReplyDeletethis pattern is nice.
ReplyDeletewhy green..
A: isn't it obvious?? lol.
ReplyDeleteScratch the variegated yarn, I'm going to buy black with silver threading now.....
ReplyDeleteYeah do it, I was contemplating black/silver too, just that I happened to have that green on hand.
