Crochet shoes

These shoes I followed someone on youtube in different Language. I would say she was spanish. I shout not have used 8 ply in Usa they say worsted yarn because the shoe came different size. Hers could have been a 4 ply and smaller hook. I hardly follow what they use lol I use what I have on hand. Also I need to make new stuff not the same. I need the challenge most likely I will not do this again. I like making what I like at the time. Usually Sunday was the day that I search for stuff to make becuase I don't crochet on Sundays. Anyway here it is, she used lovely blue colour hers, looked like moccasins.

Figolli traditional cakes

 This has nothing to do with crafts  but this is a traditional sweets for us. They are called FIGOLLI They are made as a sweet (biscuits like) pastry,  filled with almond meal sugar and egg whites and  then covered and cooked. when cold they are iced ane decorated. My daughter is a graphic designer and the details on the so called biscuits are really nice and they taste so yum. This year, though, we didn't get to have them as we are isolated in our homes which was sad. Not sad of not tasting them but of not seeing my family. We all were sacrificing were we??  I thought I should share these as she really did an amazing job.

Turtle blanket

I loved making this blanket. I used the wool I had not tried to make it as real as possible. It was for my little grandson. I made the trutles myself after I searched and searched. I didn't want to make them to be 3 D, I also added star fish and shells. also I made a turtle coming out from the egg. Planet June has this type of  blanket. My grandson loved it and it is a lovely thing to make for kids. First you make the blanket then you sew the appliques on it. You need to secure them properly so it is safe for them. Good luck if any of you give it a go.

Crochet round bag

Hi this a crochet bag my sister made with my help as she doesn't crochet as a hobby like me. She knew how to make this stitch but she didn't even know the name of the stitch. We unpicked a few times and we changed the handle as you can see. She also macrame a shoulder strap so she can use it as a shoulder bag. It was her first crochet project and we got inspired from youtube. It was fun to have her around to crochet with me. We used tshirt yarn to make this bag. You can see them down below.

Crochet Poncho

 I forgot how to post here lol. I haven't used this blog for awhile. This is how I came to make these ponchos. My sister saw a poncho and wanted me to try and make her one with her own choice of colours. This is not the poncho but I got carried away and done one for me another one for one of my daughter and some for my etsy shop. I liked making them, the fringe took a whole ball of yarn but you have to finish it right? They have holes but they are really warm you will feel it when you take it off.  They are great to use. Here you can see a few of them.

Mochilla or Wayuu bag

I enjoy making these bags because you don't have to concentrate much in increasing stitches. I saw a lady making a bag with this design and I had to try it. I like the challenge and the success in finishing it. I make an extendable belt. It is also on sale in my etsy shop. I would have liked to make a grey one but the yarn was very light grey then what I had in mind. What I have learnt in making these bags are to make wider strap and smaller holes 

Amigurumi spiders

These has to be my best amigurumi that I have done maybe so far. I made no patterns for these and as you can see they are different sizes. How I came about these spiders is I wanted to make a Halloween costume for my grandson. I wanted to attach them to a web cape. I did the cape but I store bought smaller spiders as mine were too big and heavy. So pleasd with the results I wanted to make more but our yarn colours are very limited. It is a big store but you can't find th colours that you like. there are wires in these spiders I usually try to eliminate eyes and wires so my grand kids can play with them. As you can s they are very cute
