Crochet in High Fashion

I love it when top designers use crochet in their lines check this out by Dolce & Gabbana. Looks complicated right? Actually its not. Below is the stitch used to make it

Yesterday I was knitting this dolman sleeve sweater in the most amazingly soft yarn. I decided at the last minute to create a v-neck oh by the way I dont use patterns, I visualize it in my mind and then I create it. So back to the v- neck. I realized that I had made a mistake in counting the stitches and needed to undo it. Then the worst thing ever happened, the whole sweater untangled. 5hrs of work down the drain. Saying I was bummed is an understatement. Was about to spiral down the road of negative thinking but decided to use my therapeutic skills to talk myself out of that downward spiral.

I am feeling a little discouraged I havent made many sales yet, I know my products are amazing so I need more sales sales sales... I am aiming for daily sales...

So I decided to upload some pictures of ideal my work space, the goal is  to have a huge studio with a comfortable chair so that I can knit or crochet away or sit by the beach... have marketing people, shipping people, people buying yarn, people researching the market to see whats in... anyways that the dream..... Here some pics from pinterest




so imagine yarn in background
