I haven't been keeping up very well with the blig, but I have been doing at least some knitting! I made a couple of sleeveless sweaters for the boys and a sun hat for my youngest, but with the decent weather finally appearing i decided it was time to make myself a summer top!!
After scrolling through pages of patterns on ravelry I finally came across this one blusa de croche, only problem is it's in portuguese and I don't speak a word of it :( Not one to shy away from a challange Ive set about translating it both for my own use and for others as i think this is an awesome pattern!!
Ive never written a pattern before. Ive made plenty of modifications to knitting patterns but never actually made an item of clothing (other than hats or baby booties) with crochet, so this is a first for many different reasons!
Anyway I take absolutely no credit whatsoever for the wonderful pattern and I have probably written the instructions really weird but they are working for me so far and the wonderful lady who designed the pattern has a video which (although i can't understand a word of what she's saying) is super helpful!
so this is what i have so far:
I used a dk yarn and a 3.5mm hook instead of the suggested hook size and yarn weight (i did start one using the reccommended stuff but it looked way too small)
It's a bit wobbly at the moment, I can only imagine its because the pattern uses cotton yarn and I'm using acrylic and once its finished and blocked it will look better. I will of course post a 'tutorial' of sorts with the pattern translated as best as i can undertsand it.
