Howling at the Moon

Earlier this week I showed you the Crochet Skirt I made for my oldest daughter and promised you to show the Crochet Singlet I made later, so here it is: Front Back www.betweennapsontheporch.net I used the triangle pattern again, that I used earlier for a Baby Toy , a Bag and a Garland (tutorial here ),      so I guess we can say this a very versatile pattern. The singlet is lined with pink jersey and embellished with small satin ribbons. www.betweennapsontheporch.net

  A couple of week ago I got a large bag full of pieces of fabric from a colleague. Among lots of other nice pieces there were two pieces of jersey in white and fuchsia. I had a left over myself in green, so I put both pieces together and this is what I made of it: www.betweennapsontheporch.net

After a very, very, VERY long winter spring is finally there, here in the Netherlands! Still a bit reluctantly, but it's not freezing cold anymore. Sooo, I thought: "Now is the time to make more summer clothes for my girls again!" (I already made the Zebra Skirt , but when the matching weather failed to appear I kind of got stuck).  I'm really into crochet these last weeks and this crochet mood is still going strong, so what I made is a crochet skirt for my oldest and a singlet for my youngest. I will show you the singlet next time, but here is the skirt: I didn't use a pattern, I just put together different motives and joined them together to form a skirt. The skirt is lined with white jersey.   www.betweennapsontheporch.net

Now that I'm in the mood for making party stuff I went on to crochet and made a garland of vanes in the same colors I used for the party invitations. I guess white, lime, yellow, turqoise and pink will be the color palet we will use for the party this year!  Just like the flowers I used for the Party Invitations this also is a pattern I used before.  For another garland (same pattern, different colors): For a Baby Toy : For a Girl's Bag : www.betweennapsontheporch.net ~*~ Last week my Zebra Skirt was featured by   Fine Craft Guild ! Thank you, Rose!!
