crochet pictures

I came across an Etsy shop selling Russian crochet magazines. I fell in love with the style (Irish crochet) and copied all my favorite photos as a draft on my blog so I would always have them. Good thing I did because, once the magazine is sold the pictures are gone. I am really kicking myself for not buying any. The patterns are written in charts so I would be able to read it. This first photo I really wanted because I think this pattern of the shirt would make a cute skirt on a dress for Kara Joy. I guess I will have to learn Irish crochet and come up with my own version. Some of these really amaze me at the complexity of the pattern and the amount of time it takes to make one dress for a model.
