Mystery

Ok, so I’m just almost finishing the dress of the Pink Kitty, yes I know I should have done by now, but meanwhile; I just came across with a post of MsTarzan in her blog, and got curious!
Then I went to revelry and saw the group, and I just fall in love with the idea of knitting a pair of socks without knowing what was coming out of there! Just like the Monthly dishcloth (that I also belong to). So here am I trying to do socks, again.

Know do you want to tease me a little?
I went the past Monday to buy some yarn for the socks in question, but I only brought home one ball of 100g. I was so blind in buying yarn that I didn’t realize that I had to buy two balls, and not one. So now I’m doing the pair of socks, one from the inside, and the other from the outside, silly me!

And for the story to be more fun, I don’t have the needles for it, so the other sock is now in some extra needles waiting for their turn.

But there is more, the yarn that I bought isn’t for socks, is 4 ply, so I don’t really know how this is going to end, most probably I will have to frog everything, just because I don’t have enough yarn, or because this sock is for giant feet! So this is what it looks like with the first clue. I’m starting the second clue today. It is in a chart; I have never done something from a chart, just sit and relax from my next news from my adventure!

Crochet mini monster!

Tisane la chatte


This is a doll that I just started to do. This mousse, I’m going to call her Pinky mousse. And it is a mini monster, just because I’m using a very small needle, and the yarn is also very thinner.

I can’t remember how long I worked with such a small needle, long, long time ago. And it is getting fun, but the work is so small, and the entire crochet piece just goes around in my hands, like I’m touching in eggs, and afraid to break!

You can have a perspective of the doll here in this photo.

Well, better go and try to finish.
Nice weekend everyone.

Happy Halloween

Don’t judge by the cover!

Here is another good idea for Christmas.

The pattern can be found here. And seriously, some patterns came with colors that you just look and go to the next page! That was what was going to happen to this one, until I just turn my head to the bag of ELLE pure gold, and though that this may give a cute mini pillow! Remember the round pillow that I made? The photo in that site is in black and white, and really doesn’t give the credit that that pattern deserves. At the end I tried and it turns out pretty good.
This one is going to be a Christmas present for shore, and it already has a owner! Hehehehehe, she doesn’t read my blog, teenagers!

Time used: 1 day, with a lot of interruptions (remember I’ve got two little girls)
Changes that I made: I didn’t work turn like the pattern asked for. Always worked in slip st and chain in the next round to go up.

Then I made two parts for the back.

Join all the pieces with sc and then another round around with a picot.

The buttons where work with the help of this site.

I’m very in love with this project, and I truly believe that I’m going to make a couple of them to my girls and even for my room!

Cute man!!!!!

Sun = Happy

This weekend was a blast!
South Africa won the Rugby World Cup.
There were parties everywhere!
The temperatures here went to 30, so we had a little party in the kid’s pool!

It is amazing how a little bit of sun, and a good temperature does to the kids. They were having a big party. And that wasn’t enough, on Sunday we went to the beach also. Now today is raining! Yes we are starting to have a tropical weather, what can we do? Just take advantage of every single day has it comes.

On other news.

The turtles are going in the right way.

I’ve finishing my black bag. Remember the fat bottom bag? Well I finished but at the end it was just not my style of bag. So I frog it and made this one. I’ve used the all weekend, and it is still alive. I put some fabric on the inside; sorry about the photos but taking pictures of black things is a little bit tricky! For this bag I don’t have a pattern, it is really one of my inventions. But I can say I made two parts for the front and back. Then I made the side and the bottom all in one piece. Them I sew everything and made the handles. All the bag is crochet with sc.

More ideas for Christmas. Why don’t you make a scrubby to give to someone? You can find the pattern here.

See you on the other side...

Yes! Yes! Yes!
