Sunday show off: Crochets I made

Can't tell you the sense of fulfillment when I gathered all my finished crochet pieces together for this shoot. Aside for 5 pieces from these piles, everything was made in December and January. Some are personal items, like the grey mohair bolero for Eva, and a couple of vests for me, some are things I made to sell in my yarn shop, and the rest is to be published with patterns. 

There are several things in various stages of making, so I am going to spend the rest of the day working on some.

How's your Sunday going?

How to make beads with scrap yarn

I made this necklace back in 2012 and I can't believe I still have it! After 14 years, it is still going strong! Back then I was hooked on using my leftover yarn and turn it into beads, and frankly, I kind of miss indulging into this activity. 

However, one of my goals this year is to give a visual life to many of my past projects, so I've already made a video for these woollies if you'd like to try your hand at them. The video is here. 

 

First project of the year

Happy New Year! 

May this one be calmer, kinder, and more fulfilling!

Officially, this is my first project of the year. I love the 1st of January for its calmness; nothing stirs outside, no noise, no hum... Yesterday we happened to have lots of sunshine and my living room was bathed in light and warmth. Cozy and inviting to crochet. So, I started what I planned to be a vest, but seeing how beautifully it grows, I am thinking sweater maybe? 

 

I hope you are having a good and festive start of the year!
