Another Wayuu, Mochilla bag

I love making these bags there is not much sewing involved. It is the same colours as my other one but different pattern. These bags seems more complicated then they really are but the result is amazing. I made different cord and I am getting better at making tinsels. I also made the straps a little wider. I will try and sell this bag on etsy it is made as a bag pack so more useful. This pattern could be much simpler but I always wants to see how it turns out first the I can change it if I like. most likely I will make another different pattern. It gives me such satisfaction when I see it all done. Well here is my bag.

Crochet girl blanket

I didn't want to make a blanket I actually wanted to make a poncho for a little girl. I picked the squares I liked and started. After I made some squares I didn' t think these kind of squares suited a poncho.  Serves me right because I should plan these things but instead I get an idea in my head and go along with it. After I had nine squares I thought I make it for the pram or bassinet. I also made a boarder to make it a little bigger. It turned out ok I guess hopefully I learnt my lesson to plan before I start doing something.

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.

Handmade Crochet Wayuu bag

I told you that this is not my last handmade Wayuu bag, infect here is another bag. There is a little difference in this bag the way I worked every single crochet is the proper way is suppose to be done.Also it is a bag pack. I made it different for my kids though. You only have to concentrate on the back the rest is easy at least for me. This is made from a graph that I found on pinterest, my favourite web sight after facebook. I just love to see new things that people post and get some ideas from there. I wasn't aware but some Wayuu bases have different stitch numbers. This one everything went well. My favourite colours that I always seem to be attracted to are browns mustard orange light brown aren't they Mexican colours.
I know the colour black grey versions and white go well together too. I will be doing some with those colours. Here is my latest bag so far. Do you like it? I will be selling these on Etsy. Check out my Etsy store

Crochet purple blanket

 I started this blanket as a mandala rug. I had a problem going around it was increasing too many stitches. So had to unpick many rows and started to go more like a square blanket. I love the colours I used and I was trying new stitches along the way. There is a nice blanket tutorial which I would love to give that a go one day. I am in love with wayuu bags at the moment. I am enjoying making bags. I did waist some colours that I had which is good. blankets do the longer to finish so a bit boring to be working on the same thing for some time. Anyway time to say till next time. Cheerio

Amigurumi larger rabbit

I wanted to make a cuddly rabbit so kids can hug to sleep with but it is not as big as I wished it to be. I made it from this free pattern. It was fun to make, I like his face and head. I made the dress from a  real premature baby dress. I actually didn't do the feet like hers, I had trouble following what she meant so I hope you will do better then me. Mind you, when my eldest grandson who is 2 years and 10 months saw the bunny, he  asked me if it was for him. I of course told him if he likes it he can have it. My reason for making all the toys is because of him. I never got stuck with a craft for this long. It seems I can't put it down. On Sundays I don't crochet, I research what I like and what I might want to make from pinterest. I usually like sewing, knitting, painting, I give anything a go because I am curious if I can make it. I still find my hooks enjoyable. I actually thought that you use more yarn in knitting but I read recently then in crochet you use more.  Here is my bunny. sorry about my bad pictures.

Amigurumi,crochet Wayuu bag

I have three daughters and this bag I made for my third daughter. I tried to add black grey white and turquoise since they are fashion colours. I found an easy pattern graph to do. This bag came out on the big size I would say. I turned this bag into a backpack, it is still a wayuu style. It is suppose to be worked on the back loop only but I work on two loops of the stitch for strength. I would have like for the grey to be lighter grey but you can't always find the colours you wish. It turned out to be a nice bag it will come very handy for my daughter. I like making bags you don't have to concentrate about increasing stitches just work on the pattern. I like making toys but I also like making bags. I used to like sewing but crochet took over. You can almost see what I am working on now.
