What's new and crocheted - Asos

What's new and crocheted...found on the Asos web site.
Asos has new crocheted dresses and a top...but what caught my attention were the crocheted Komodo shorts. I love the shape, granny pattern, the color combo and it makes an interesting shorts overall. I would rock them any day...I think they are hot!!!!

Hot or Not?!?!?!? - Cable Knit Cape

I don't really what to think of this cape. Is it practical? Isn't it too bulky? Or heavy??? Can it stay on, doesn't it easily slide off your shoulders???
It looks like it has been made by making 3 braids out of chunky yarn and they have been connected together. The web site says that it has been knitted, but for those of you who don't knit, you can make it with braids. I have to admit, it is a nice idea, but i am not sure how usable it is.

Cheap sweater?!?!?! and a crochet DIY idea?!?!


Moschino Cheap and Chic sweater?!?!?! £379.17?!?!?! Since when 378 pounds are cheap for a sweater??!!! I know that this is a designer one....but come on...don't name the sweater cheap...
Also I would expect from designer wear to see some more creativity than this....it is very easy to recreate this look...you can be a beginner crocheter or you can now start learning to crochet and make this circle that is crocheted and sewed on a simple sweater that you have at home or buy very chip at the stores.
And, here is a nice DIY idea...take an old sweater and a doily and sew them together :) that would probably cost you less than 20 dollars....or even free if you use the things that you have at home.

Hot or Not - Marc Jacobs crocheted scarf and it's copy..or the original.....I am not sure...

I love the stitch that was used for this scarf. But I am not sure if they needed to make it so big. It is huge!!!!!!! instead I would make it a bit smaller, probably as a infinity scarf and it wouldn't look as bulky as this one.
What makes it more interesting this scarf seemed familiar to me...then I remembered that i saw something similar in the Inside Crochet magazine (the September 2012 issue!!!)...I don't know who is copying who, but it is and interesting thing that they both lunched it at about the same time.

Многу ми се допаѓа бодот кој се користи за овој шал. Мислам дека нема потреба шалот да биде толку голем, меѓутоа тоа е личен вкус. Интересното нешто е што Marc Jacobs  го продава овој шал под свое име, а истовремено се појави и шема под името Patty Wrap. Кој кого копира незнам, ама очигледно е дека се работи за сличен дизајн.

What's new and crocheted - Zara

Zara never seems to fail the task of producing great pieces and never get's wrong when she does crocheted garments. I always love and adore each peace. I have a huge respect for this label because they always make garments with a "handmade" feeling.....no matter if there is beading , embroidery, tapestry etc. Zara makes wonderful and unique clothing!
There are few pieces on the web site that are not hand crocheted but look like they are and they are also labeled as crocheted. I like them as much as the real hand crocheted peaces and they are so pretty.

Hot or Not - Green/Yellow Crochet Dress

Cute, classy, fun, elegant, stunning.....I can go on with the good words.... I find this combination of regular crochet, broomstick crocheted and knit very appealing. The designer did an awesome job of constructing such fun and colorful dress.

Сладок, елегантен, забавен, убав.... плетен / хеклан фустан..Можам да продолжам со епитетите за фустанот. Комбинација на плетено и хеклано и преубаво испаднало....

Asos VS Jenifer :D and a free crochet pattern

Cute dress! It reminds me a lot of the Jenifer Aniston's dress that she wore on the set of  the movie "Just go with it". I am not trying to compare and say which is better or cuter, both of the dresses look pretty good.
There is a free crochet pattern for the Jenifer's dress at Alinutza's blog here.

Ова е слатко фустанче! Многу ме потсетува на фустанот кој го носеше Џенифер Анистон во филмот "Just go with it". Не сакам да споредувам и да кажувам кој е подобар бидејки се слични и изгледаат убаво. Има бесплатна шема за хеклање на блогот на Alinutza.

My kind of shoes...crocheted shoes :)

Aren't they great? Shoes with crochet print on them. It looks very interesting and I think a lot better than real granny squares on them.
Asos, please send me one pair straight to my door :D

Hot or Not - Broomstick Crochet Sweater

I love it! It is a little short for my taste, but if you wear it with a tank top underneath it will turn out great. I started liking Broomstick crochet garments more and more lately. It is originally priced for $19.90 and now it is $9.99!!!!!!
Too bad that Forever21 doesn't not ship to Macedonia :(

DIY Idea - Top with crocheted details

This must be one of the best uses of crocheted tablecloths that I have ever seen. You have to love these ladies for making these wonderful tops using boring old t-shirts and crocheted tablecloths.

Top 5 Favorite Crocheted Dressses

There are a lot of crocheted dresses on the web and this was a thought decision for me. Selecting 5 out of a hundreds of dresses is a thought decision. It doesn't mean that the others aren't beautiful, I picked these because they were somehow unique to me. Here is my Top 5 Favorite Crocheted dresses and they are nopt given in particular order, meaning they are all wonderful and No.1 for me:

1. Classic white dress with added rhinestones and a bit of lace at the bottom, follow this link below and you will see the pattern for it on Facebook.



2. I was in love in this dress the first time I saw it. And that love never seemed to fade away! It is genious! And I have seen doily dresses before, but none of them were so pretty. You can see more pictures of it here.



3. I call it the  "The hearts dress". I found it recently on Facebook and immediately fell in love in the details of the pattern. Such a beautiful structure and such beautiful motif. There is a free pattern for the crocheted heart and more pictures here.



4. I have been growing my love for this dress for such a long time. I found it on Ravelry here and there is no pattern for it, but I am still planing of doing something similar for myself. This one is a wedding dress, but it can be done in other colors and it would look as fabulous as this one.



5. The Kylie Minogue dress. Few people have crocheted this dress on Ravlery and there was also a free pattern for it that is no longer available. She wears it beautifully!

Hot or not - crocheted bralette

I found this bralette at the Urban Outfiters web page and I think it is amazing. Bralettes are very in right now and I like wearing them underneath v-neck tops. This is a first time that I am seeing a crocheted bralette and I think that it is an amazing idea!
