Would you like to know how I inserted the zipper and lining into this purse? Here is a tutorial on how to do this!

Started this Friday and finished Saturday, crocheted with Dark Olive Hilos La Espiga nylon no.18. I took my favorite leather purse and created a template for me to crochet.

I sold a necklace

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

Yeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaw! Sold my first crochet necklace on Etsy yesterday, what a wonderful way to start the weekend! Since I am so anal, I made an entire new one to send to the customer. The original really was a prototype and my crochet skills are so much better now than 6 months ago or so when I first made it.

Tapestry Crochet bag

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

Just tackled tapestry crochet and it is super fun. The Takhi Stacey Cotton Classic is fantastic to work with and now I need more colors!! Just need to block this, sew the bottom shut and attach a handle and I am good to go.

Leg Warmers

So, does the resurgence in popularity of knitting and crochet cause a resurgence of leg warmers?

Methinks it does:

hot pink leg warmers
killer leg warmers
fleece leg warmers
furry leg warmers
steampunky spats leg warmers
unfreaking believable leg warmers
funk-ay leg warmers
alice in wonderland leg warmers

Here is my first creation with the malabrigo merino wool – I just love crocheting with this wool!! This is also my first attempt at irish crochet with the little flower – too fun. Looks like I am definitely on a blue kick lately.

Malabrigo Merino Wool

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

Finally went to a new local yarn shop The Knitting Nest today. They have a pretty good selection of yarns and I was happy they had some Malabrigo Merino Lace weight. Had to get a couple colors to play with – it crochets up really well and is super light and airy

Dean’s Afghan

Went to Nanny Pop Pop’s yesterday and Nanny gave us Dean’s afghan from when he was a kid. I just love the blues and will have to try out the crochet pattern. Looks like it would hook up super fast.
