i saw this top on "that 70' show" and really liked da idea :



but I wanna make it with a few changes:
- da lower half is gonna be black stretchy fabric.
 
- i want da crocheted "net" to be rectangles instead of
  diamond shapes and its gonna be in dark purple.
 


my crocheting skills are pretty basic... I don't have that much experience.
i tried a few times to crochet da rectangles, but its not
going so good.   I'm improvising da whole thing, its going
really slow and the rectangles come out uneven... and da whole thing
is curling up around himself all da time, making it harder to do it.
I'm not sure I'm doing it right...
so..
- does anyone have a pattern like this or something similar ?
- any tips?
- is it normal that every thing is curling ?

I would describe exactly what I'm doing but i don't know
da names and codes and all that stuff... :\

pls help
thanx

this is the cake I'm made 4 my last birthday, that was in July.
its a "black forest cake"
i wanted to make this cake for years,
so I'm was very excited it finally happened 
da black forest cake is da cake i love da most since i was a little girl....
da whole cake is vegan !



i added my on twist on da name "da black forest" 
a vagina from marzipan on da top of da cake
i sculpt da vagina myself

da inside goes like this:
~a layer of rich and extremely dark chocolate cake
~chocolate ganash
~a second layer of da chocolate cake
~berries jam+some whiskey
~another layer of da chocolate cake



da whole cake is covered with whipped cream and chocolate grates
on da top theres a few chocolate leafs that i made...making da
leafs was another dream that came true ...



if any one wants i can post the recipes for da different layers
just ask

a lep-top cozie  i knitted in da end of last year winter
when it was already too hot to knit anything wearable....
its 4 my friend lep top
 
i took da skull chart from domiknitrix.com and kind of improvised on it
 so it will fit da size of da cozie

i love da way it came out !







love some feedback....

sorry but their's no pattern i kind of improvise them, also i dont really know how to read or write knitting instructions...
 
i knitted them with needles i made by myself from chopsticks, after seeing a tut here on craftster they came out pretty smooth...

i love them they look like some poison bullfrog
the kind of bullfrog you'll get delusional if u lick it 

heres a link 2 da topic in da dessert board

its all vegan
da chocolate cake is really really rich and if anybody wants
i can upload da recipe

4 da white chocolate coating i melted white chocolate chips
its da only kind of vegan white chocolate we have around here...

what do you think ?

i made this cake 4 halloween night last week
its all vegan !







the two brown layers are a really rich chocolate cake
 with allot of chocolate and cream (da vegi kind) in da recipe

da green layer is mint flavor - its basically margarine,sugar,mint flavoring and food color

i melted (vegan) white chocolate and coated da top and da sides of da cake with it

i drew da web with melted chocolate

i mixed what left from da melted chocolate with lots of cocoa powder
to make da spider - so is kind of a truffle
i made the body and da legs separately put them in da fridge
till they got harder
then i putted them together by making holes in da body with a toothpick
and putting da legs carefully inside them

it took me a few tries to figure out how to make da spider

im really proud of it
