crochet bag

Karin's flower, my bag and a charity shop Sweep.

Karins flower and this weeks school knit cafe made my bag.........

I was attempting to make three little of my own flower pattern, when karin made this Ravelry version and it blew mine away.

So here is a collaborative bag made by two knit cafe members. Lady Gaga, is in the background and still unfortunately on hold.

My own stitch and in three colours, the simple rectangle bag envelop method.

Purple

Coral pink

White, acrylic.

I added a piece of card to keep the shape, maybe a fabric snifter could be used here that's something new to look into.

My charity shop sweep.

20kr's (£2)

Charity and thrift shops are a real gem for the avid knitter/crocheter. Pick a regulars one, so you know where to look, ask if you can not find.

(Easy, cheap and available!)

Mine, I am pretty impressed with, very rarely they have noting, from yarn to needles and hooks, always something. But today an over load.

40kr (£4)

The bargain of the day...........

80kr (£8) at 10 balls of rag.

I brought two lots of this, as I felt that new and packaged
was a complete bargain.;-)

All the blues...........

Yet more doily's , yes I can never have enough..........

10krs

Pan stand and a doily.

Art to follow;-)

Monday Crochet feeling/it's Tuesday......

Found these on a google search

Eco Fun Flower,

Made from fizzy drink can rings......(well I never!)
Fun and pretty cute, a tad dangerous in the making as they can be very sharp.
but I think that the flowers are a great design.

Especially great for a brooch/bag accessories.

Title Art for House wife's! (don't be put off)

Crochet lamp shade,

I want one........

Make it your self from recycled doily's, I will add this to my ever increasing craft list of to-do's!

Dali Brooch, I have gone a brooch mad.

(I just love them)

And finally some pearls for my knit title;-).

A few week back I went to the Dali exhibition in Stockholm.

Ruby's and pearls here is my favourite piece from the exhibition.

Defiantly worth a peek while its still running.


Bag Crazy

I seem to be a hand bag production line,

I'm really enjoying making the bags

As stitch experimentation with crochet is one of my favourite things to do.

Unlike the dresses that take a lot of yarn the bags don't.

And they are excellent way of using you stash balls
(not that I have much of a stash but odds and ends I do.)

Well did!,

("I have made alot of bags")
