With all the initial stress of this pandemic, I didn't feel like crafting for a while. Until recently, that is. Now I feel I'm back to my crochet and crafting mojo!
First I decided to finish this ancient project of mine, started in 2011. This was the prototype of my design published on Interweave Crochet Summer 2013. The pattern is available here.
Next, my newest crochet/sewing project...its granny squares and recycled denim! First time I enjoyed making granny squares!
A beach-ready outfit waiting for the opportunity.
This started as a wearable project for a child, based on this pattern ...thinking it would be for my granddaughter. But having made the squares using local size 8 threads, I realized its not going to be comfy to wear in our warm weather, its also a bit scratchy on the skin, and most of all will take too much time.
Now, as I admire the squares I made so far, I thought of what I could make with it. I imagined a bag, a child's bag...and its going to be combined with denim for that modern, and edgy vibes.
And now, its finished! I like it a lot...will my granddaughter like it too? I'll save it for her next birthday.
I'm currently working on two crochet thread projects. One of which I intend to submit as a design proposal...I need to work faster now as the deadline is near.
Thanks for looking, and please keep on following my posts...I will try not to disappoint 😀
