I was finishing the final hem of my BTS-inspired crochet jacket when she asked me. I paused and looked at her with a smile on my face.
“When I’m crocheting, I felt like being transported into a different world. A world of colors, and peaceful scenery with boundless time. The outside noise of the real world doesn’t matter. And even my cats know I am in a different zone.”
It might sound poetic, or perhaps simply odd. But I know that most creatives and introverts like myself will understand.
The changes brought to us by the pandemic teaches us so many lessons in life, and I learned to quickly adapt and gain more patience for change.
As long as I have bags of wool waiting for me to use my magic, then I am happy.
I don’t know how many crocheted jackets I managed to create for the past 2 years (and still making!) coz I lost track of them anymore. Blame it on the unpredictable Victorian climate as one of the reasons why I continue creating my own pieces.
In this blog, I am happy to share with you my recent piece, inspired by the BTS color palette.
Making this jacket wasn’t easy and took me almost two months to finish. I used about 20 balls of acrylic wool that I sourced from KMART Australia.
Although I admit that the acrylic wool wasn’t soft enough like a cloud, the final piece is very satisfying. This jacket gives so much warmth and protection especially when I wear it outdoors, and received lots of compliments as well, especially from some old ladies who love crocheting and knitting.
With its fun color palette, I can also wear it in any season, especially this Spring!

What do you think of this jacket? What hobby are you recently engaged with?
BTW, I’m not considered as an ARMY, however, BTS songs are cool! Australia loves them too!
AMAZING!!! You're so galing talaga! I can just imagine how hard it is to crochet something, let a lone crochet a jacket! purple hearts all over!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Buti na lang crocheting helps me to relax and be in a feeling of serenity. The only frustration is kapag nagkulang yung yarn tapos walang supply!
DeleteThat is the cutest!!! I'm not normally a fan of purple, but I love BTS and I purple them!!! Loving all your works, so far.
ReplyDeleteSome say it is lilac-color. Anyway, I learned to like it!
DeleteLove your outfit bagay sayo! For sure maraming gagawa ng ganyan lalo na mga BTS army here in PH. :)

DeleteOh!!!! It's the Dynamite BTS Color!! I love it. I think you should start selling limited edition of your crochet things! By the way, how long did you make it?
ReplyDeleteThis jacket took me a bit longer, approximately over 4-weeks coz I run out of materials.
