Crochet Pullover for Thor

Last Thursday, I challenge myself and wanted to crochet a pullover for Thor. I searched for inspiration and found one ( dino pullover from redheart ). So I grab my yarn from Ice Yarns Ply Luxury Superfine and used size 3 hook. I wanted a pattern that I can easily follow so I search my japanese pattern and found this.

I finished the pullover yesterday (sunday)  but haven't decided if  lalagyan ko ng sleeves. I asked Thor to  model it for me. He liked the top because it's soft and comfy. I notice that it is not long enough and I think kailangan lagyan ng pocket sa front, lagyan ng button sa upper part and dagdagan ng sleeves But I'm still not sure. Right now tinatamad pa ako and gusto ko din matapos yung coat na ginagawa ko. Hehe adik lang talaga.

Ang kulit lang nya talaga. Kahit kelan walang matinong pictures. hahahaha

I lost my hook

We got home in Bulacan Sunday afternoon. I excitedly open the bag and showed my yarns to my niece. I showed him how to crochet the worsted yarn. My niece excitedly tried the yarn and borrow my hook. I'm not sure if she give it back to me or she put it somewhere safe. After two days, I look for it because I wanted to continue working on the blanket. I looked everywhere, under the bed, under the sofa, the cabinet and other places and its nowhere to be found =(.

I'm brokenhearted. It's my first hook and my one and only hook for 2 years. It helped me a lot on my project. Most of my project are created using that hook. I am hoping that I can still find my precious hook, I now it;s just here somewhere. Maybe the hook wants to play hide and seek. Or maybe I am neglecting it for the past days and the hook want me to pay attention like I used to before. I swear If I find it again I will took extra care of it and make sure that I will not lost it again.

Crochet owl bag

Yesterday I made a quick bag for Thor. I hurriedly crochet, stayed up late and finished the bag this morning. The purpose of the bag is to put all his things. He can put some toys, some cookies, some choco and some candies. It will be perfect for our travelling. This sunday we're going home again in bulacan and I'm looking forward on how Thor will handle the bag. I'm sooooo excited.

By the way, I didn't use any pattern. I designed the bag in photoshop and I just go with the flow. I wanted a blue bag, but I only have 1 ball and it's not sufficient so I mixed it with white yarn. Still it turns out good.

Dream blanket

I always wanted to crochet a blanket. But the amount of yarn and time are consuming and expensive. When I bought yarns from yarn-paradise the first thing I consider is to buy yarn that will be enough to make a blanket.
They have different kinds of yarns and that makes it hard for me to choose. I wish I could buy as much as I want but sadly I don't have enough funds. After much deliberation I decided to buy white short fringe yarn. It has 60% acrylic and 40% polyester. I know I made the right decision, the yarn is soft and the texture is just right. I cannot explain how wonderful the yarn is. The only regret I have is that I only bought 1 set. It should be 2 set for me to create a blanket.

I already made 20+ pieces motiff. Still a long way to go but looking at my progress it put a smile on my face. I hope I can finish it before the year ends.

Crochet top for me II

Here are another set of pictures of my crochet top. I asked Jing to wear it for me. She's hesitant but I told her that it will look good on her. The pictures comes out great and I know it will look good on me too eventhough my arms are getting bigger and bigger O.0

Crochet top for me

Last week I made a Crochet top using a Japanese pattern. I got hooked with the design and finished the project in 5 days.

I use 5 50gm Ice Floss Spiral yarn in 5mm hook.

Here's the pattern I use for the top.

Note:

My friend Lorie told me to wear it and take pictures. I told her I don't want too. My arms are too big and I'm shy to pose. I will update the pictures tomorrow. I will ask my student to wear it for me.  =)

Crochet Japanese Pattern

I really love the crochet japanese pattern.

I print the pattern and for me it was easy to follow and understand because the  format is in diagram.

So now I will post my fave japanese pattern.

Coffee Addict

You know you're coffee addict when you have two big mugs in the morning and 1 mug in the evening...
I so love coffee, my morning is not complete without sipping hot coffee..

Yarns from Lorie

I'm so busy these past days and did not have the chance to post the yarns I received from Lorie. I love all the yarns she sent to me. Most are worsted and white color. So love it..... I'm going to use it on blanket I'm planning to make. If there's still left from white I'm going to make an amiguri pillow maybe a cow or totoro.

So here are the yarns.. Thanks Lorie. Please visit her wonderful blog too.

Crocheted socks for Thor

Yes!.... I know now how to make socks. It took me months to learn and now it seems easy. I wish I could share the pattern but I don't know how to write it. =(

At  first Thor didn't like it as it has hole on the sides, but after stitching and 100 times pleading he finally agreed to wear/model the sock. So here he is wearing the socks I made for him ( may topak pa ng lagay na yan )

yarnssssssssssss

Finally I got my yarns after 3 weeks of waiting. My excitement cut off when I have to pay custom fee ( P1000) huhuhu.. So now I have to think twice if I want to make purchase from yarn paradise.
