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! :)
