Inspirations..

I cocheted a beanie hat in white, blue and yellow last spring. But I never was satisfied with it, and I could not figure out what was wrong with it - until I bought myself a new rugsack. Inspired by the digonal squares in yellow and white I stiched some on the yellow part of the hat. I crocheted a black row on the edge. On the top I crocheted a little black circle whom I stiched on. Then I stiched on a few black rows. Now it is ready to use again for autumn, and I am happy with my "new" beanie hat.

The hat before. Something is wrong here, but what???

My new (Axel) rugsack whom I bought in Rhodes in June. I really love this for its colours.Suddenly I realized that my beanie hat had some of the colours of the rugsack - only one colour missing: BLACK

 So I started by crocheting a black row on the edge - following by stiching on black and white.

Crocheted pillow - Christmas gift?

This pillow is made by crocheting nine squares, where I decorated or crocheted all nine in a different way. You can personalize the pillow by stiching words on that means something to you. This can be a wonderful creative project, for yourself - or maybe a friend for Christmas?

I glued on feathers on one square, and stiched on secuins to make a star.

Funny furry handbag

Why not make yourself a funny fur bag? It is easy to make. You can use a sewing machine or just hand-stich. The white part of the eyes is crocheted. The black part is fabric. The chain I took of another pursebag whom I never used. After taking these pictures I have made the bag smaller; about 4-5cm on both sides. I will post photos later.

Crocheted carpet - this is FUN

Oh yes, this was great fun. Using crochet needle nr 12 on Hooked Ribbon XL I crocheted this carpet. I MUST make more carpets. Inspired by the blog susimiu.es I  will try to make the mandala carpets shown in blog.

And by the way... this yarn is made from old t-shirts .. isn't that great?

I got the inspiration to this easy carpet from Pinterest. It turned out not to be as easy as I thougt. The carpet is nice and soft to walk/stand on.  

I used crochet hook number 12 - shown in picture is also hook number 3. I crocheted the star first. Then switched to white yarn .

A lot of ends has to be stiched in to carpet, using a really big needle and a small crochet hook.

This is the yarn I used. It is like crocheting with shoelaces..... Next time I would like to try the other type of yarn from Hooked. It is called Zpagetti Zolid. They even have yarn with prints on wich leaves an endless variaty in the pattern you can make. The yarn is sold from the website hoooked.co.uk.
