MonikaRose,
ReplyDeleteThank you. I check my e-mail several times a day. What question did you have about your pullover?
I've been learning how to crochet from various books, and I have finally found your website, which I love! Often I find it easier to watch you than just to read the instructions. One question, what sort of yarn would you use to make one of these? The yarn looks so thin and delicate.
ReplyDeleteHi I'm Gi-ri from India. My village women are the 'Lacemakers of Narsapur'. I found your site first in YouTube. We felt it great, as my women don't understand english, but started praising your skills. We share with you the designs we do, if you are interested. Thank you.
ReplyDeletepansiri,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. I would like to see your designs. I bet they are beautiful.
Billie,
ReplyDeleteI used size 10 crochet cotton. You could do it with a smaller yarn sport weight 2 or 3 ply yarn if you are not comfortable with thread.
Hai Teresa,
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of your crochetwork. Crocheted allmost everything you posted on your youtubechannel.
Now i'm very much into this kind of elegant crochet patterns. Thanks for sharing.
