But one thing at a time. I did promise to put my FOs, WIPs and ribbits in order first. Among other things, I’ve also started a clean up on my Bloglines, some links are broken and I still can’t figure why my list doesn’t show up in my blog. I also notice that after a long break, my writting skills have pretty much detoriated to the point of being jerky. Bear with me ok? I promise to improve. :)
Macrame Belt
I recently got hold of Sweaterbabe's Fabulous & Flirty Crochet and couldn't resist trying out something immediately. This book is definitely a good buy. There's so many great patterns in it. You can even purchase the individual patterns at her website.
Pattern :- Macrame Belt from Sweaterbabe Fabulous & Flirty
Yarn :- Half a ball of Organic Cotton Yarn
Colorway :- Buffalo
Time :- 3 days
This was a quick crochet. The pattern calls for Bullion stitches for that macrame look. Pretty fun to master.
Rebeeca Chevron
Pattern :- Chevron Top from Rebecca 29
Yarn :- 4 balls of Cotton Candy from Artful Yarns in
Colorway :- Jellybean
Time :- 5 days
This one is again a very fast knit. One thing I didn't anticipate was how stretchy the yarn was. Candy is actually 64% cotton 32% acrylic 3% nylon 1% elastic. It drapes well but is really really stretchy. I strung the ribbons through the holes so it covers the front. I think this might be a knit best worn with something underneath it without a ribbon. Still a versatile piece.

The belt is really funky. I think the the Chevron top looks great with the ribbons...just my two cents...=)
Cute belt, it goes well with your jeans! I like your tank with the ribbons. I guess even a little of elastic in the yarn can make the knit very stretchy. Your tank still fits you nicely.
That belt is really cool!
And for the top, I like it without the T-shirt. :)
The belt is awesome, really a pretty design on you.
The tank is pretty cool. I really like it with the ribbons.
Love your new FOs! You might also want to consider pairing it with another camisole underneath too. I see lots of trendy girls doing that...
I want to see the belt. Bring it along this weekend when we meet.
the belt is chic on you! pretty crochet stitch.
hey, that is a very sweet color!
that top is HOT! love it with the ribbons :)
hi! cool blog. i dun knit but i absolutely love that belt of urs!
I LUURRRVE your top - with the ribbons and not over the top of something. It just doesn't do it justice as a top layer. It's so pretty.
