japanese pattern beret hat

My mother send me crochet yarn last tuesday ( through her friend ate Vilma ).

She sent me 5 pcs acrylic yarn (20g each, green)  and DMC crochet yarn 12 pcs all in biege/brown shade.
I got excited about the dmc yarn as it is too thin and too cute to crochet. I found a pattern and started to crochet BUT after 2 rounds I stopped. I can't stand crocheting that small yarn. My hand hurts, my eyes hurt and my back hurts. I got frustrated, I wanted to start a new project a dress and the dmc is perfect for the project.

I wanted to do something. I wanted a new project not a shawl not a scarf so I take a second look of the yarn and decided that a hat is right for kashmir acrylic. I searched for beret pattern and found this one (http://gosyo.shop.multilingualcart.com/free1.php) . I haven't been crocheting hat since 2010 and this one is right for my comeback ( ahhihi ).

TGIF

Its Friday!

Thank God! I'm excited to get home tomorrow and check out my yarns. I'm excited to start a new project! is it a scarf? a shawl? a bag? or maybe a Halloween costume for Thor? yeah I can't wait.

All the yarns I brought here turns to a lovely project. The red shawl/scarf and the white crochet top.

For the meantime I'm going to look for socks pattern. This site is promising http://www.ullrykka.de/iblog/B567792918/C947144548/E20070430111650/index.html it has nice pictures and I think I can follow it even though the text is in German.

Gina fighting!

looking for socks pattern

I really wanted to crochet socks. It's my frustration. I've been trying to crochet but no luck. I got confused on heel part. :<
The only way I can make socks is to study knitting. But I realize that studying knitting is more confusing. O_o . It took me one week to learn how to knit. If crocheting requires patience then knitting need lots and lots of patience waaaaaah!.

I switched back to crochet after failed knitting attempt. Maybe I guess that's reason why when I go back I crochet fast ( good for me! ).

So I'm still searching and looking for crochet socks pattern in Diagram. I can follow diagram pattern better than text instructions.

crocheted top


My niece asked me to make her a crochet top. She wanted to use it this coming holiday.
 That time I am making wrap/shawl for Thor and decided to use it for her top instead. 
After 3 days of crocheting I finally finished her top. It looks good on her and said she really like it. 

Here she is fitting the top I made.


I'm not sure about the yarn type but it's close to acrylic but yarn is soft like cotton.  
Here's the pattern I use for her top. It's a japanese pattern I got from a friend. 



I'm so happy that now I can finally make crochet top/ crochet dress other than hat and shawl. Finally I'm making progress and I'm planning to make more top/ dress in the future. =) But first I will make a scarf for my father. He's asking me to make him a scarf.

Ninja Tatur

My Son like to play with my crochet. Last time wore the hat I made for him and the scarf I'm working for sis in-law.  He Played Ninja and run and jump around the house.

Here's his picture. So cute and adorable..




scarf for my sis in-law

I crocheted scarf for my own use but my sister in-law saw it and she wanted to have one. I told her she can have mine and I'll crochet another. She agreed and said she wanted the scarf longer. I wanted to make it longer but I run out of dark brown yarn and I don't know where to buy it. She said closest color is ok. So here it is adding more rows to the scarf.

Yarn bought from Rosario Pasig one year ago ( 2011) similar to Canon cotton. I use 3mm hook.


Scarf is more than 72 inches now.


Thor is happy

My Son Thor like the coin purse I made for him. He's so happy that he grab all my coins and put it in his purse. And no one's allowed to touch it. waaaah!( naubos laht ng coins ko )

Here's his picture wearing the purse. So cuteeeeeeeeee

No idea at all

This blog is intended for portfolio, web design pages and other work related stuff. I plan to post all my web design/ graphic work here so that my client can easily access my portfolio. Since I'm lazy to post I forgot that I have a blog.

Just recently my friend/ officemate Lorie told me to create a blog to post all my crochet project. She told me that it's nice to have one so other crocheter can see my work. I'm hesitant to make all this because:
1. Tamad ako mag sulat
2. Ano susulat ko?, mas gusto ko pa mag post ng pictures lang
3. and so many if's and but's .

Sabi nya if puro pictures lang mag FB na lang ako. I told her cge FB na lang. After thinking for ( 5 mins. hahaha madali lang makumbinsi ). I checked this blog and viola I started writing. Pagpasensyahan nyo na lang if madaming error or may maling grammar.

So here it is WELCOME TO MY BLOG. Enjoy! ( the pictures hehe )
