Turn Your Head Sideways – Um Is that What I think It Is?

You would be totally correct if you thought this was a ……. Purse.

I know lots of our readers don’t like it when I use the “V” word so I am just going to shave around (pun intended) using it’s anatomically correct word.

Yes it is a Vijaya, JJ, Who ha, Girls Bits hairy purse for your hand bag. I bet you can’t guess what you’re meant to store in this “V” themed purse, can you? Yep the things you use monthly for your “V”.

It’s a great gag gift for those who have a certain type of sense of humour.

Comments

  1. I’m not sure what kind of other comments you get, but I would much prefer you just said vulva or vagina instead of dancing around what we all know you’re saying with ridiculous infantilizing names.

  4. I have no problem with using the word VAGINA and I think it is FUNNY!
    If you don’t like it, don’t look!

  6. As usual, your post is tasteless, crude, and absolutely despicable. I can always tell when you write a post. And that’s not a good thing.

  7. I agree with the commenters. Give the thing its proper name and leave it in its proper place. There are plenty of things less likely to give offence to pun on if you must.

  8. Singlehandedly trying to lose CraftGossip’s family friendly rating?

    Please, powers that be at Craft Gossip, can we get a crochet editor with good taste, common sense, a working understanding of public decency and a mind at least a couple inches above the gutter?

Lightweight Lacy Crochet Tee Pattern That’s Perfect for Layering

Some crochet garments look beautiful on the hanger but feel awkward to wear. This Lacy Crochet Tee from Lana Grossa is not one of those pieces. It’s light, breathable, and very much designed to be worn — the kind of handmade top that slips easily into your everyday wardrobe without feeling “too precious.”

What immediately stands out is the openness of the stitch pattern. It has that airy, lacy feel that works so well for warmer weather or for layering over a tank or dress. This isn’t a heavy, structured garment; it’s soft and fluid, with just enough texture to make it interesting while still letting the yarn shine.

From a making point of view, this tee is a really enjoyable project if you like crochet that feels calm and rhythmic. The lace pattern keeps your hands engaged without constant counting or frustration, which makes it perfect for evening crochet or quiet weekend sessions. It’s also very satisfying watching the fabric grow — those lacy stitches really show progress quickly.

Skill-wise, this one is best suited to confident beginners moving into intermediate crochet. You don’t need advanced shaping skills, but being comfortable with stitch patterns and keeping even tension will make the process much more enjoyable. If you’ve been wanting to dip your toe into wearable crochet without tackling a full sweater, this is a great place to start.

What I really appreciate about this pattern is how versatile it is. Change the colour and fibre and it can feel casual and beachy or clean and modern. It’s the kind of tee you’ll reach for again and again, especially when you want something handmade that still feels light and effortless.

If you enjoy crochet garments that are wearable, practical, and quietly stylish, this lacy tee is a lovely pattern to have in your collection.
