Crochet wayuu bag

I made this for my youngest daughter earlier on. I thought she would love the colours and the pattern. I found a free pattern with a free video but I changed it a little. I gave her this bag as a Christmas present with more presents. It seems complicated but it is not really, there is not much sewing like when you do amigurumi toys and I need a break from doing the same thing all the time. I need challenges sometimes and when I see something that I like I need to try it to see if I can do it. it doesn't really take much time to make this bag. It is called wayuu bag you can find many graphs that you like on pinterest.com. Anyway here is my bag, sorry I took just one badly picture of it but you can see it. It is very nice to give out as a gift and useful too. The first one I made came too small so I learnt from it and each one I made I learn something new like how many holes I need to make or how big I like it to be.

Crochet Wayuu bag

I can reveal what had been working on. I was making a wayuu bag for my eldest daughter for Christmas I wanted to finish it by Christmas and I managed to make it on time. I wish I could have found darker brown yarn with the colours I had but I didn't. I asked her that if she doesn't like it I would make her another with the colours she likes but she liked it. It would have came nicer with lining inside but I can' t be bothered with sewing. I did this pattern from a graph that I found on pinterest.com. I think I will make more of these bags maybe to sell on etsy. it is a lovely handmade bag if you ask me. I will show the bag to you. the bottom of the bag is patterned too.

Boy's hair clips

I was inspired to make boy's hair clips because of my grandson. He was born with such lovely hair that it is a waist to cut it off. It was strange for me at first seeing him with long hair. I was asking my daughter when she was going to take him for a hair cut. She told me she wasn't so I quit telling after some time and started to live with seeing him having long hair. At first she was cutting his fringe because it was always in his eyes but now she wants to grow it for him, that was when we decided to make boy's clips. We tried to make the clips of the animals or stuff he likes. He definitely likes the bees and we haven't shown him the other new ones yet. They take awhile to make and they are fiddly when it is handmade. I together with my daughter made them out of felt and embroidery thread. Here are our creations. Once you start making them you become to be more creative.

Amigurumi giraffe

I made this amigurumi giraffe from a free pattern. I added the rings though. I made it for my youngest daughter. I made it out of cotton not acrylic yarn . I also made a smaller ring, it said to make it 12 inches long. I thought it was way too long. I would have liked it to be still slightly smaller. I always try to do the actual pattern first and if I make another one I usually fix it to my liking. If you have small children make sure to embroider the eyes so it is safe for them. It is easy to do give it a go. Good luck
