Crochet

I Made It! 🎆

Ariadne

Ta-daaaaaah!!! And my 1st ever wearable crochet project is done! 🎆

I wanted it to be a bit longer at the back, but I was scared I wouldn’t have enough cotton.  (I have to ride a ferry and buy them in Singapore ya know!)  🙂

I was ambivalent about the length of the sleeves.  When I fitted the shrug before I sewed it up, I felt it would look nicer with sleeves that came below the elbow.  Now however, I wonder if they could’ve been shorter 😀

But overall, I’m pretty pleased with the outcome ❤

And now onto my next crochet adventure!!! 😀

Oh and P.S., this makes 2 July goals down and, let’s see … 1 more to go? Stay tuned! 😉

  3. Totally awesome, I love it. I think the sleeves are a perfect length; not too long to be in the way and catch but not too short that could sit higher with a short sleeved dress….PERFECT 😊

    1. Thank you so much, Ginny 🙂 I’m also glad the modifications I made on the squares came out okay.

      I hope you too are having fun crocheting. Looking forward to sharing project updates 🙂

      1. My crocheting is nothing compared to that awesome shawl you created. But I am plugging away at it. I hope to get a few blog posts in this week so you can see what I am working on 🙂

  13. Woooooooooow Pardje, congratulations 🙂 !!! Well done!!! It looks really pretty and suits you well ❤ I like the arm length like that. You could still do another one with shorter sleeves 😉 You can be really proud of what you've done, really, it looks amazing ❤ And then the greatest feeling when someone asks you – wow, where did you get it from? And you can proudly reply with "I made it myself" 😉 Enjoy ❤
