Owly owl

Another crocheted toy added to my collections. I really like the owl design and this time I made owl Amiguri.

I got acrylic gray with combination of  red and white yarn. I bought it from Rosario Pasig years ago. I wanted a doily but instead I made a amiguri. As usual my son love his new toy same with crocheted totoro.

Here's the picture of the owl posted in my FB page.

 ,

I got the pattern free from ravelry. I thank the designer for providing free pattern. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/free-owl-toy-crochet-pattern. The pattern is easy to follow and easy to make.

I am still alive.....crocheted skirt for comeback

It's been awhile since my last post and last log in but I'm still alive. I've been busy and took a break from crochet and now I'm planning to post more crochet project.

As for my comeback I decided to post my crocheted skirt made from 50% merino and 50% acrylic yarn from ice-yarn. I bought the yarn last January when they had a winter sale and made big discount. 

So excited to fit and I think it fitted well. I think it's best wear in office but any occasion would do. I'm planning to sell this skirt but I'm still deciding. It looks good on me! haha 

For size of the skirt just pm me. The skirt is a simple V stich pattern. 

My crochet Christmas gift

December is busy day. Busy as in you don't have time to crochet, don't have time to go out, don't have time to post and don't have time to shop. I just sit all day in my computer and doing work. As much as I want to whine keeping busy means more money ^^... and more $. So I will just tolerate December's busy day and will enjoy my time next year.

This year since I'm busy too much I decided to crochet gift items but sadly I cannot crochet as much as I want so my gift is limited to those who are near my area and to those who I see everyday.

I crocheted bag, cellphone case, cute headband and wallet. The pattern I use is from Japanese book I bought last time. I am so happy with the book because most of my gift item patterns came from that book.

So below are the pictures and ready to wrap. Merry Christmas Everyone.

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

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.  =)

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.

oh by the way it's their Tuesday promotion today. So browse and buy yarns from them. yarn-paradise.com

Here are the pictures we took last night

I got excited I started to crochet socks for Thor

cute owl phone holder

I just finished the last purse to be send to mother. It's an owl phone holder using the dmc yarn. It's cute and soft and I like the colors too.  Sunday they will be send to Kuwait. I envy my bag and purses they are going to Kuwait and me I'll stay here. ='( . Should I wrap myself too? hahahaha

Here's the owl phone holder.

Coin Purse

I'm tired.... not tired of life but just tired. We do laundry this morning and after that I made 2 coin purse. I will send the purses to my sister in Kuwait. Maybe she can sell my purses there.
She can also use it for herself or she can give one to my mother ( by the way I am going to send the beret hat also ). Total I made 3 purses plus one cellphone holder. I hope they will like it.

Here's the purses I made

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 ).

cute little top for mikay

At dahil hindi kami natuoy umuwi ngayon  I decided to crochet my remaining yarn. I want something lace, simple and easy. I browse my pattern and decided to use this one. I must say It does look good on my niece. 

Here's the cute little top I made for mikay.

and here's the pattern.

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.

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
