I know it seems a funny time to be crocheting with the temperatures being what they are, but I wanted to finish this little jacket. It’s basically Doris Chan’s Haru, but modified to be a shorter cropped bolero instead of a long cardie. It’s good for balancing out the air conditioning at work.
It’s a pain, really, because you spend a long time on making something and when it doesn’t work you feel like it’s been a waste. But I love the colours in this yarn, and there was nothing wrong with the yarn itself, so I decided to repurpose it. Unfortunately, either the type of yarn or my stitches meant it was really hard to unravel. So I pulled as much of it apart as I could, but ultimately I didn’t have enough to make the longer Haru.
Sorry about the lighting in the pics too…I meant to do it while there was still daylight but was so mashed after work I had to have a lie down instead.
