Actually I had already made one of these some time ago and sent it to Israel. So I made another. Its diameter is 98 cm. I could have stretched it beyond 100 cm, but I did not push it. I have nowhere to stretch things properly. I blocked it on my own table, measuring separately…
I received an order for a large tablecloth through my Etsy shop. It’s going to Australia. The customer sent me their pattern request—it’s considerably simpler than the previous one. Naturally, I want to follow the instructions. This time, it’s a written pattern in clear English. That way, I’ll really get the hang of English crochet…
I’m making a tablecloth. I decided to record the progress day by day. Day 1. I had to unravel it once. It seemed that I had been crocheting too loosely. I couldn’t do any more; my eyes were closing. Day 2 I managed to crochet a little in the car as well. There was quite…
My fingers have to keep moving. I spent about a week crocheting the edging, no more and no less than six metres of it. Then I spent four hours, with short coffee breaks, sewing it to the fabric. It was made for the round table when it is extended. At least now, when the whole…
A long, long time ago I crocheted curtains before. I made one for my mother’s hall window and one for my mother-in-law’s kitchen window. But those were medium-sized. Now, after finishing the renovation of my room, I decided to crochet a curtain for my own window. The window is about two metres wide and perhaps…
I once asked my younger daughter-in-law what I could crochet or knit for her. She said, “Surprise me.” That was probably a year ago. I have finally arrived at the result. Never mind that the warm weather has gone for now. Summer is only halfway through and surely there will be warm days again 🌞I…
Last winter I found a crocheted top on Pinterest and liked it so much that I decided to make one for myself. I could not find a chart, so I started making it from the photograph using my own judgement. I finished it. But when I put it on, I did not get that feeling…
I did a little handicraft to pass the time. More accurately, I needed to use up leftover yarn. Every project leaves such a small amount that there is not enough for anything big and beautiful, so you make something small and beautiful instead 😀 I found the patterns on Lilleliis’s website.
My granddaughter asked me for a handbag. Naturally all sorts of ideas followed about what kind to make. I decided to stay with the colours and style of the dress and hat . Of course the yarn from the dress was almost gone, so I had to choose something else. I still had plenty of…
