Handmade rope baskets

I tried rope baskets before this is my forth basket. I made this for my eldest daughter. She picked the colours. It is made of nylon materials so it is washable when dirty. it takes awhile to made and you need to use strength pulling the strings every stitch. As I was making it I learnt a way how so I kept all the way that way. I made another one and it looks neater using the last technic that I learnt.The black and white it very stiff cause it is worked hard and tight, the other white one is slightly softer. You need a hook as well to make these baskets. There is a lady that has two videos on how to make these on you tube.  Here are the two baskets.  The photo came a bit wonky but the finished product is good.

Rope basket

My daughter needs a basket for her keys so as usual I searched for a rope basket. I found a few that I like. I decided to try a few and after unpicking and unpicking because I started to make it round then unpicked to make it oblong then square in the end I ended up with a circle base. I decided to make one whatever it will look like it won't be perfect after my first try anyway. Well guess what my daughter liked it so I will make it larger with big opening since it is to put her keys in it. I made it out of  plastic rope and neon nylon rope and a hook. I didn't do it exactly like the tutorial that I watched but same technic. Now I see where I went wrong and I will try my best to do better. Here is a picture of my basket.

Footless, barefoot sandals

I have been working on different things which I will show you as I will post them here. This time I will show you these beautiful footless,barefoot sandals whatever you want to call them. I am selling them on etsy my website is amiguruminanna. How these came about I don't even remember but I think searching for something new to do. They feel like you have nothing on your feet and looks great on. Such a nice look for summer. I used cotton and number 2 crochet hook. I watched videos at first so I will know roughly the size. I love making these footless sandals. I have incorporated some beads on a few so far but my daughter still has to put them on etsy. Here is my beautiful barefoot sandals. They

Hairpin lace blanket

I found this new craft and I am always very tempting to try it out. I made a baby blanket I actually thought I would finish it quicker then I did.  You need a hairpin lace loom and a crochet hook to do this. I bought three hairpin lace loom the first one broke and the second one was the same as the first but made of metal but the third one is the best, it is made of metal and longer so it gives you plenty of room to count the stitches. That was the boring bit counting the stitches both sides and loose count and then you have to start again. You can be creative of making the rows wider or narrower as you please. I put a border too but  I found it harder to do the two sides. There are many videos to show you how it is done. So good luck if you give it a try.
