Crocheting a Lacy Dress


Photo from "Couture Crochet Workshop" by Lily M. Chan

I spent last a week crocheting and sleeping. In between my sleeps, I am crocheting a dress from Lily Chan's book 'Couture Crochet Workshop'. With some modification in design and different color & style yarn, it is coming along. I really can't wait til it's done.

casting on...

I always CAST-ON very tightly. The benefit of the tight casting is the fine texture of the end-product. The downside of it is that the muscle pain caused by extra tention on wrists, shoulders, and fingers are long-term. Lately, I've been practicing healthy knitting habits over premium-quality product.
