What's Haute in Crochet?


I've been doing my usual perusing of the web, looking for the latest in crochet fashion as inspiration for the DIY in Y-O-U. Here are a few things that caught my eye:



Urban Outfitters is always good for a couple of crochet pieces. This one is cute and looks easy-peasey.



Speaking of easy-peasey, this cape don't look like it'd kill ya to make it. Pretty basic shell stitch, some ribbing, and some fancy-pants edging that I bet is even easier than it looks.
























Every crocheter worth her salt is only too familiar with the gasp-inspiring beauty of many of Anthropologie's sweaters. Here are a couple worth warming the hooks for . Oh, I know it's no great trick to find something gorgeous on that site, but this little number's shape and detail is worth taking in for a few minutes






















While the following piece is not crocheted, but the cut of this one is a joy to behold:

Ooh, so pretty! I wish I could do the whole "look at it and whip it up" myself thing. I'm not quite that visual (yet!) I absolutely love the shape of the last one.

I almost can´t believe into what crochet has developed during the grandma squares and doilys. Your findings make me want to stop eanting, sleeping and breathing to save time for my beloved hook.
