You’ve all seen the crocheted dress that Cate Blanchett wore recently, haven’t you?  My initial reaction was “wow, crochet on the red carpet – that’s cool”.  And I still think crochet on the red carpet is extremely cool – but maybe not that particular dress.  As you know, I love crochet, I love the granny square, I love vintage crochet, and I also love Cate.  Part of me loves this dress – part of me loathes it.  Is it doing crocheted clothing a disservice or celebrating it?  Your thoughts?

And that leads me to today’s Vintage crochet Friday photo.

Made from square motifs, and appropriately worn as a beach cover-up.  Don’t you think that they look like me and Clare?  What do you reckon – should we?  And maybe a mini version for Stella?
