Okay so as promised here's my Moda Vera Bamboo Cotton Camisole. Pretty excited about it and cant stop looking at it ;-). Many crocheters don't like working with bamboo cotton cause the threads keep unraveling but somehow i didn't have that problem, it was quite enjoyable and the texture was so soft that it didn't hurt my fingers like some yarns do. So for this cami i used 3 1/2 50gms balls of Moda Vera color no:19, with a 4mm crochet hook.I followed a pattern from lovestitch , there's a translated version from a graph and that helped a lot.... the border edging is different....i wanted something more simple and less bulky. And voila! My summer cami is ready, it took me a day and a half to complete.... not bad eh?!
So after my hook ate up all by lovely bamboo cotton, i had a half ball left.... well i had only 4 balls to start out with! There was this pretty free pattern of a bamboo clutch on the ball wrapping I decided to try out. Of course i ran short of the cotton yarn and had to modify the pattern......... and this is what i came up with!!!
A double layer of pink felt lining sewed in to stiffen it up, a copper button to embellish the front closure and a magnetic clasp on the inside and my clutch is ready to go!! AND that's the last of my Bamboo cotton! So till i get another stash of them its back to acrylics and mercerised cottons.
