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 ).

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.
