I wonder who I can bribe to make me that bow cardi …

I’m with you on the bow sweater. It is quite fantastic, and pretty easy to make. Best of all, it’s a show-stopper.

sarai: good question! i am wondering the same thing. perhaps the relative stiffness of crochet or the fiber lends some body to said bow? i hope it’s that sturdy in reality. it’s just the bee’s knees!

katie: why not take a class? i learned to crochet via a private lesson at a yarn shop. it was well worth the money. what i didn’t get from the lesson, i was then able to teach myself. perhaps that would work? just like knitting, once you see how the stitches are formed and so forth, you’ll understand how it works and why it looks like it does.

That bow cardigan makes me wish I could figure out how to crochet! It is luscious. I try and try to hook, but I just can’t. I can knit, but not crochet!

That bow cardi is amazing. The asymmetrical closure, the sheer size of that tie–it’s just awesome.

Wow, I love that bow cardigan! I wonder if the bow would stay so neat, or flop wildly.

Oh, I really love these! I have bought some issues of Interweave Crochet because most patterns you can find in Finnish are for doilies; however, I soon noticed following a pattern in English is a bit much for me :p
