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.

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.

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

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 )

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 ).
