Present wrapping - black and white

I wanted to show you the third alternative I made - with the same theme as shown before.

 

Chrocheted pillow

This pillow is made with yarn Drops Polaris and I used needle number 12. So this was quickly done, one or two evenings. I was almost finished when I ran out of yarn, so I had to use another colour. I stiched on a chrocheted rose.

Looking at the front I now thought this was awfully boring. So I have been wondering what to do.

 I found this (old unfinished Project, hrm.). It did give it a vintage look didn't it?

This is another option. So now I cannot decide which one to stich on!

Update 3 January 2014; 

And this is how it ended up like!

Ideas for wrapping christmas present

 Sharing on of my Christmas wrapping ideas. The red marbles is real easy to make. And once you have made one - you just have to make anotherone. I have posted guidelines under the page Chrochet Patterns.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





Fascinator - Dolce Gabanna style

Dolce Gabanna has some stunning red dresses this fall. Many of us has been drewling over the fab accosseries like the golden crown, the big golden cross-earrings and the gold neclaces. As I am planning to wear a red dress for a Christmas party - I just had to make my own version of the crown and the earrings. This is the result.

Matching earrings

 

 

I used part of this necklace, part of a body jewellery and a black Alice band.
I stiched on the red stone to the golden square bit. Some of the chains is also stiched on.



 

 

 

These photos were taken before I was finished stiching them.
Therefore you maybe spot some of the needles?

Knitted beanie hat

This beanie hat you knit in notime. I used double-yarn (Dale Hegre) and knitting pins number 10.  It is chunky and very strechy - so you can knit one to a friend for Christmas without worrying if it fits.

Chrocheted angel wings

Yarn: Dale Lerke and Beo

 

 

I love the white angel wings you find in the shops, not only for Christmas - it is more like an all year round decoration. You can make them small or big when you make them yourself. As I didn't have white feathers lying around, I simply chrocheted them.

Chrocheted christmas decorations

Why don't you make your own decorations for the Christmas trea? In Norway everybody is knitting a'la Arne & Carlos Christmas marbles. But I chrocheted mine. I only wish I had time to make 20 white ones. And I would decorate some of them with a little silver....................

Yarn: Cotton like Mandarin Petit, needle number 1,75

 

 

I even managed to chrochet a heart

 

 

 

Bonbon heart

Lovely bonbon heart you can make yourself. Lovely gift for a friend.

You need;

• String from the Crafts-shop
• Bonbons - these are from CandyKing (Smågodt)
• Needle to make holes through the bonbons

 




Put string on and hang it on the wall

Candle decorations

Today is the first Sunday in Advent. I am not sure what you do in America, Australia or the rest of the world -  but in Norway the tradition is to light one candle on each of the four last Sundays before Christmas eve. So you need four candles. And the colour of Advent is lilac. I have chrocheted my own decoration for the candles. This is very easy. If you need guidelines I will post them under the page Chrochet patterns. I hope you enjoy your Advent time preparing for Christmas.
