continuing, beautiful knit






                                        OH HOW CUTE!!!


I did this pattern for the first time and it turns out perfectly!



The smooth pattern looks like made from the machine.
I am kind of proud of it!




So a small part is just finished and still a looooong knit before me.



Here a sneak-peak to the pattern.

Beautiful Knit

So I started my new project.
I use the muskat wool in this stunning turquise color!!! 
80 cm, 4mm

the new yarn



So, as I got my bags finished I ordered new yarn.
It´s my first time I knit with such a wonderful yarn.

I start a new project with Muskat in color number 34.






And then I have an other project waiting in Safran, nearly the same color.

Check out my blog later for the first pics of the new project!

Finished flower-bag


It´s finished!

So this is the final work.
I love the flowers on the net.




I made a button outside to get a hold and to be sure that nothings jumping out by accident. :)



I bought a cheap textile from a second-hand shop for the inlay.
So nothing can slip trough the crochets, like a pen.
I sew it by hand, as I have no machine.
I should by one. ;)



Beautiful closer look at the flowers and butterflies



Please message me for more information.

Butterfly - my first crochet try!!!



Have a look at such a great butterfly!!!
Not bad for my first try, isn´t it? 
:)


A closer look.


To crochet this butterfly it took me about 5 hours.
It was easy to make, but much to concentrate for and to count!
Again, if you count strictly, you can get perfect crochets at the end. 
:)

PATTERN AT THE END!!!


3 sweeties and a little flower

The little ones are more cute.
I haven´t really made them by instruction.
I just made them from a photo at google and tried it by myself.



I love the color combination!
<3



Here´s the pic for the big butterfly!
Enjoy!!!

Flowers! Wanna know how to crochet them?


Here´s a collection of the flowers to decorate my bag


Maybe they are not perfect, but still good looking. 
:)


So after you make single flowers you can combine them!

And so you have a nice flower-combination with different kind of colors.
It´s a nice look also from the side.


Wanna know how to crochet flowers?
Take a hook of your choice and a yarn in 2 colors and start!!!
It´s much easier, then you think!


 Large flower: crochet round 1 to 5. 

Small flower: crochet round 1 to 3 only. 

Crochet 4 ch and form a ring with a sl st. 
Round 1: 1 ch, 6 dc in ring. 
Round 2: * 1 dc in dc, 3 ch*, repeat from *-* a total of 6 times and finish with 1 sl st in first dc from beg of round = 6 ch-loops. 
Round 3: 1 ch, and crochet as follows in each ch-loop: 1 dc,1 ch, 3 tr, 1 ch, 1 dc. 
Finish small flower here.

nearly finished



Here you can see my actual work.
The bag is nearly finished.
I love the colour with the glitter inside!



The bag is as big as a little bottle figures in it. 
Of course there´s more space for the wallet and other stuff.
Now I am going to crochet the accessorizes.

No no no!

What a mess!
I haven´t checked my wool-basket and yesterday evening I recognized that my black wool ended!!!

In the middle of the project.
And the time was so late, that I couldn´t go and buy more.

That sucks! I was so much into crochet and I really wanted to finish it.
It is sooooooo close to be ready.

So that´s a new lesson for me.
-> Always check your yarn before starting a project!

But a good thing is, that I need a new hook for my next project.
So at the same time I can go shopping more. :)

Is there a good online-shop for yarn and wool ordering????
A cheap one would be nice too. :)
Send me a message!!!

The new project - double trouble




Double Trouble!
The first time I crochet with 2 yarn at once!
It´s easier then I thought. For this project you actually should use 3 soft yarn, but as I haven´t soft yarn I chose what I got at home and here we go!
I love the glitter wool. I bought it in Prague, Czech Republic.
And I am not telling yet what it´s gonna to be in the end. Follow my blog and you´ll see! 
:)


How many of you use bamboo-hook? 
It´s my first hook ever and I got many steel hook in different sizes, but I always prefer the bamboo.
Unfortunately I own just bamboo-hook in size 4. But luckily for this crotchet I needed size 4! 
Perfect!
I never worked with an plastic-hook before.

I love to check out second-hand shops. I found many of the old steel-hooks for only 50 cents in different sizes. 
So as advice for beginners with short money. Go and check out your second-hand shops! You always can find surprises! :)

It´s ready!!!


So here you can finally see what I´ve knit. 
A bag!
:)

I love the colours!
It was very easy to knit and crochet.
I already used it and it´s perfect for maybe beach-stuff, clothes and not too heavy items.


Message me and I can send you the pattern for free!

a fast knit for girls, good idea as birthday gift



I just remembered in time, that we were invited to a birthday party of a 1 year young little girl.
We already had a present, but I decided very fast to knit her a little blouse.
I got this giant-wool (400g) from germany and I love the color of salmon!
The yarn is very soft and perfect for children.





And so it took only 2 days to create this for me. :)



Basic knit with different pieces.
First you have to knit the back, then the front parts and the sleeves at the end.
After this I sew it all together by hand and got a lovely crochet around.
I bought the violet yarn at my holidays in Prague, Czech Republic.
The yarn has glitter-yarn. I love it!

So my other work is still waiting.

Send me a message or comment if you want the pattern! :)
