Finished a pouch with lining today. I had bought the pattern from a shop and as usual I had made some modifications to the pattern. I added a pink rim to the top of the pouch.
The yarn is a mix of acrylic and nylon and the lining is of Japanese cotton material. The zip is a bit too short for the pouch though :/ and I should have hidden the zip behind the lining instead.
Finished my first crocheted pouch today following the instructions on http://laughingpurplegoldfish.com/2008/08/14/easy-peasy-crochet-bag/ with some modifications.
The bag is very colourful because I was trying to use my acrylic yarns evenly :P The pouch turned out to be quite okay. I will be using it to store some of my amigurumi accessories heehee.
Saw some sweet crocheted flower patterns online and tried to make some today. I decided to make a small bag accessory using the flowers and some ribbons that I had bought not too long ago.
Made a crocheted cat face coaster today by modifying from a normal circular coaster pattern. Quite happy that it turned out fine.
The coaster is made out of Japanese cotton silk yarn and I had added a piece of purple felt at the back to hide all the ugly sewing at the back :P
Finished an amigurumi beaver today following a pattern that I had bought from PlanetJune. However, since I was trying to replicate a soft toy that I had, I made some modifications to the legs and added a top hat and bow.
The beaver is made out of 100% acrylic yarn and I had quite a hard time making it. Guess my crochet skills still need a lot more work.
Finished an amigurumi bird for another friend today. I followed the pattern from http://bittersweetblog.wordpress.com/2007/02/19/birds-of-a-feather/ but I had made some modifications to the beak because I do not have any felt cloth and personally I feel that pasted felt cloth may not last very long. I may be wrong though :P
The yarn I used is 70% merino wool + 30% nylon which is also very soft and nice to touch.
Finished my first amigurumi bear for my friend today. Struggled with it for quite a while because it had been even a longer time since I last crocheted. I got the pattern from an amigurumi book I bought.
The bear is made out of Japanese cotton silk yarn which made the bear to be very soft and nice to hold.
