Summer Hat Addict

I enjoy so much working with this Raffia yarn. Summer Hats are my fave :) I made few for sale and few for summer gifts to friends and family members while vacationing with them :).

This Yarn is more expensive than the regular one, but I love the idea of it being from natural and recycled materials. Ready for some HATS? ;)

Much love

Crochet gift tags

I love gifts wrapping, and I love to wrap my shop items. Knowing that sometimes, it has to go over to the other side of the world, beyond safety I always add something small and thoughtful.

When I saw this cute small motif pattern I knew it will be perfect for both using my scrap yarn and as a lovely gift tags :)

I think this is super cute, and I just can't stop making more and more and... :)

love for Japanese Crochet

I love Japanese crochet pattern, no no - I adore Japanese crochet pattern :).

I can't get enough browsing my books, or any new pattern that I can get a hold on online.

I am a true addict (and I love it).

My new crochet addiction is Raffia. And most of it I am taking from this cute cute pattern book.

+ amazon

It is much slower to crochet, but the result just worth it, Plus it is so very hot right now so it is practical as well.

I am working on some summer gifts for my friends and family that I will be visiting on our vaction. They live in the very south part of Israel which is also happen to be the hottest super sunny spot as well, I am so positive this is going to be in great use for them :)

And one for me, of course, I will definitely need it while boiling out there,

La la lovely Crochet pattern

This is such a cute easy pattern, seriously it became to be one of my fave for my girls and for gifting. It is very easy to follow, fast to crochet and well, I adore the outcome :). A top or a dress, summer spring or winter you can adjust it in so many ways, this is the kind of patterns that I really enjoy and keeps coming back to :) 

This one is made out of great great organic cotton yarn - was my first time to work with it.

and here I wanted to play with colors since it so hot and summery here I thought the combo is fitting ;)

Pattern is La la lovely top by Amanda Tipton.

Getting back and Thank you

I can't  believe it has been that long since my last post here, I know I'm not the best blogger :-P

I have so many new things to share, I hope slowly I will get back to it. 

I was going through many personal and not very easy on me things in the past few weeks.The only way that I could FREE my mind is to keep my hands busy. And, I am much much thankful for that ability to create and get busy with ideas, colors and just to MAKE something.

I thank all of my readers and viewers who keeps visiting my blog and not forgetting me even when I am not around here.

Much love

Happy New 2012 New FREE crochet pattern

Happy new 2012 ya' all :)

Hope this is going to be super lovely one for us all. I have cute new scarf/shawl pattern for you. This is based on this lovely drops design that I love. Only I wanted it to be less spacey and more warm like. So I have made the following changes.

Also the edge is totally different I wanted softer edge looking.

Instructions:

* Start with a magic ring

Row 1: ch4, {2dc, ch 1, 2dc} in magic ring

Row 2: ch 10,  {2dc, ch 1, 2dc}  in 1ch space, ch4, double triple crochet (dtr) in 4th ch of beginning chain.

Row 3: ch4,  {2dc, ch 1, 2dc}  in dtr, ch4, {2dc, ch 1, 2dc}  in 1ch space, ch4,  {2dc, ch 1, 2dc} in 4th ch of previous chain.

Row 4:  ch 10,  ({2dc, ch 1, 2dc}  in 1ch space, ch 4) x3, dtr  in 4th ch of previous chain. 

Row 5:  ch4,  {2dc, ch 1, 2dc}  in dtr,  ch4, ({2dc, ch 1, 2dc}  in 1ch space, ch 4) x3,  {2dc, ch 1, 2dc} in 4th ch of previous chain. 

Repeat rows 4 and 5 until desired length :)

Optional soft edge look:

Sc, 6ch,sc all around, until center st

at center st, sc, 3ch slst,sc, and continue at sc, 6ch,sc.

Poor sketch but it might help ;)

Enjoy this,

Much love
