Ideias, yes. Work....

No photos today! Of what I’m doing, but…


Why? Just because I’ve been working on some projects, and then I just frog them because I don’t like the way that the yarn goes with it, and then moved to another project, and then, that wasn’t really what I wanted to do. I think I’m a little bit stuck here!


Well first I started the famous Fat bottom bag.

The photo was taken from this site, it is in Portuguese, she works a lot in crochet, and does a lot of pretty things, a lot of videos for you to learn how to work, it is in Portuguese but you can see what she is doing, and understand.

But the yarn that I was using, it is pretty, but it doesn’t work with that bag, I can’t see the beauty of that bag, so went to the frog pond, I’m still looking for some different yarn to do the bag again, I’m going to do, that is in my mind.

Then I thought that the yarn that I like so much may be ok with another bag, the Elisa's Nest tote bag. From this site.

It looks like a shopping bag, with some holes everywhere, yes; I think I’m happy now with the two together.

I’ve started already to make some Christmas presents this weekend. It was lovely, and I and the girls, and the big boos, went to Monkey town, to see our relatives :), from long, long time ago.
Little monkeys, running everywhere, and some other animals, too. Pigs, parrots, gorillas, etc. Nicole was very happy with looking at the animals without a TV, and Angelina, came out with all the sounds that the parrots made, the return home was like the little zoo had moved to inside my car. It is good that the trip is short.

Hope to put some photos of my work tomorrow
Came back again….

Updating August Projects

Hi there.
Today my post is only about my update projects for the august month.
There were only 3 projects that i din't finished, i ha time for them, but yarn, here where i live is a nigthmare. There is only 1 store locally. So what they have is what i get ;)

I know you saw the projects with Christmas presents. It is never to earlier to start, and they are hand made, so i must not fall a sleep on this one, because you never know what could happen (am i being paranoid).

So for now is bye,bye.

Nemo

Cute, yeah!
This was a test pattern that I made for Cindy.
It gave me a lot of pleasure to test something for someone, and to really understand the instructions on the pattern. I’m making some improvements here!

If you want the pattern go to her blog. It is here.
Happy knitting/crocheting everyone

Granny crochet squares, yup!

I’m trying to do some different things in the crochet front.

Well, almost every blog of crochet that I visit as a little of granny squares to show.

So today is my turn. (it's my party, and i cry if i want to, ..... , you would cry too if it happened to you......)

I’m using Pure Gold, 100% Courtelle. I just love this yarn. I know it is synthetic yarn, but who cares. The only thing that I know is that makes wonderful purses, beautiful pillows. It is soft and very easy to work with. So let me stop with the bla bla bla and show some more photos…..

I also like the colors that they have. They are so soft.

There are some ideas in my head to use these granny squares, just sit and wait….

So stay tuned….

Barbie Coat

Today, I’m going to show how to make a easy coat. No for me, not for my girls, neither my half face. But for the Barbie doll!

The knitting of the back….

The knitting of the arms….

The right side….

The beginning of the left side….

The body of the coat done….

The knitting of the collar….

The Sew up underarm and side seams…….

And finally, the detail of the sc crochet all around, to make it a perfect finishing.

At the end of knitting this Vintage coat, has they call it,

I always think. Wouldn’t be nice if I could do a coat for me, exactly like that. I guess it’s not impossible!
Maybe that is something for me to think in the future.
Meanwhile. A big storm just came down, with rain and a lot of wind.

In this photo you can actually see the two trees, how they are bending. They say that until the weekend we are going to have strong winds, heavy rain, and some snow.

bye, bye....

Mittens and Mushrooms ?

More work done.


Yes I know, it seems like I don’t sleep and just knit. But these works are small, and they just go with the wind, something that we got a lot here.

My fingerless mittens are done, and beautiful.

At the beginning, I didn’t like so much of the pink color, but at the end, It doesn’t look so pink at all. You must be thinking she is getting some problems with colors, don’t worry, I’ve got two girls, remember, and pink is the color of the day, the week, and I don’t know what more…..

The pattern was taken from here
And it looks hard to do. But believe me it isn’t. The only hard thing to do are the fingers, boring, you have to do one at the time. But since that is the beginning. It is okay, because then you can see the mitten grow, and then you start to try it on and she isn’t finished yet!

Next stop.

My garden.

This mushroom just pop out in the middle of my grass.

Isn’t that cute. And ladies it is crochet. I tried very hard to understand the pattern, in the middle I just made my own, and then follow the pattern again. I’m really trying to understand to read crochet, and I will get there. For some of you this may look strange, because I can’t read a pattern, but know how to do crochet, which is what happens when you learn only from looking.

The pattern was taken from here and if you scroll to the bottom of the page you will see the name Kohana the Amigurumi 'Shroom that was the one that I made. Is that similar? Am I going in the Wright way?
This site has a lot of cute things to do in crochet and knitting. Some of them you must pay, and the others it is for free. Nice.

Bye, bye
