COUTURE ET CROCHET

Before my sewing and crocheting updates, I want to thank Kelly, Jennifer, Lisa, Mimi and all the friends who meet in the House of Lambspun every day knitting, crocheting, spinning. They help me to progress on my WIP and to remain focus on my goals.

Unfortunately the amazing yarn shop in Fort Connor is only existing in Maggie Sefton mystery novel I'm reading in the morning. But really to start my day surrounded by these women and their bags full of wool, circle or double pointed needles is great!

I'll start with my crocheted granny squares sleepers. After a first try too large, I have made smaller squares and crocheted them together, the size is better.

And even if I made some mistakes counting the rows, everything is ok now I only have to hide and cut all the ends of the wool threads. Then I want to crochet one or more edge rows for a nice finish.

My WIP is a summer dress made with a panel of flowered fabric on which I'm sewing braces on a strip of fabric.

Then I thought I could make with small crocheted squares a kind of top to cover the white fabric. Something removable to be easy to wash.

I have crocheted the squares all around the top and to cover the braces.

I had this weird idea of making crocheted braces (on and underside) in which I could slide the fabric straps. I gave it a try but it's very thick not sure I'll keep this idea. First I want to add a kind of shell stitch for a nice finish and then I'll see how many yarn is left.

Mes deux en-cours au crochet sont :

les chaussons en carrés crochetés : presque terminés, la taille est correcte et l'assemblage terminé. Il me reste à rentrer tous les fils et à crocheter quelques rangs simples autour de la cheville pour une belle finition.

le haut d'une robe d'été : à nouveau réalisé avec de petits carrés assemblés tout autour en haut du panneau fleuri et pour les bretelles.

Il m'est venu l'idée de doubler les bretelles pour y glisser les bretelles en tissu mais le résultat est épais et ne conviendra probablement pas. Je vais d'abord crocheter un point genre coquille tout autour et voir le reste de laine dispo.

Petit clin d'oeil à mes lectures matinales, les personnages des enquêtes que je lis en ce moment font partie des habitués du magasin de laine de Fort Connor House of Lambspun. Et fréquenter ces fans de tricot, crochet et filage de laine m'aide à rester concentrée sur mes projets.
