Wayuu crochet bag

I wanted to use some of my wool so I made this lovely bag. I made it slightly smaller and I think it could be very handy for anyone. This will be in my etsy shop @ amiguruminanna . I love the colours I used but I think I could have loved the yellow as a back ground. I made this pattern before I love geometric patterns. I made one each for my daughters but only my eldest daughter have used it and like it. So I asked it if she like any particular one and she told me she likes grey, black and white. Now she has to find a pattern she likes. These Wayuu, Mochilla bags are very simple to make. It takes me more then 12 hours to make plus the cords and stitches.

Crochet coat/cardigan, and skirts

I made this lovely coat /cardigan whatever you want to call it. I found the cardigan on pinterest.com. There is a video tutorial for it. It looks hard but you will get the hang of it. I love how mine turned out that I had an idea to make skirts that style. I will include them here. The worst part is that you have to work in, all your tails from all the different colours you use. The size of my coat is a newborn. I would like to make a bigger one but I have no grand daughters. My coat is still without buttons I have bought them I just need to sew them on.

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.

Red crochet angel

I wanted to try out an angel. I saw many nice ones on pinterest. The patterns that I found nice are for sale but I am afraid that I won't understand their way of stitching and directions. I found this angel and it was a free pattern I would make hands if I make another one and wings at the back. I usually am curious how it is made and still to one only. If you read the post before this one this is why I wanted to make starch and see if it works. I wanted to use it on this angel. It worked great even his halo has been starched but not his head and neck. It dries out within a day and night.

Starched old doilies

I wanted to see if the starch works to stiffen things. I found these old doilies that I had from years ago and I tried them out. I first went on you tube to see how they starch stuff. They use only water and corn starch which they boil till it become somewhat clear and thicker. When it cools down you dunk the doilies in that solution and sqeeze as much out as possible.Cover with glad wrap over a shaped bowl that you like and put the doily on it and shape it nicely, as it will dry out that way. There are different stiffener that you can choose I like this type.

Crochet sleeping bag and new born pants

I  remember why I wanted to make this sleeping bag. I saw it on Facebook and I liked it. It was a free pattern but when I started the pattern I didn't think it was coming good. I had to make it as I knew how and kept going with the hood too. It would have been nice if I could have done that pattern but there was no video or anything. Anyway I had left over yarn so I gave the crochet pants a try. It was fairly easy and I was only left with a small peace of yarn. I saw a video on you tube how to make this pants in case any of you are interested. It is a new born size. Here are they for you to see.

Cute toys

I made these for my etsy store I like to have variety of choices for all different ages. I liked making these toys and it was my own pattern. I can never write a pattern because when I see how people wrote their pattern looks rather complicated. You can tell they all different sizes I just make it as it comes I only count the amount of rows I did for the legs and arms. I make their clothes to fit each one. They are all cute and special, I hate to part from them. I put so much love into them. If someone else gets to enjoy them as much as I loved making them it is good enough for me.
