Cell Phone Tote

I'm still into cell phone purses =) and I'd like to post what I did a while back. I made this with two strands of thread size 8, and 3mm hook. I just used what I have for embellishment, and I was quite content with it. When I look at it now, how I wish I made it in a nicer color.

So I thought of making another one also using two strands of thread, but this time in multicolors. I searched the internet for some ideas and saw this cell phone bag. I went ahead and made something similar, which I will call a cell phone tote. I just love working with multicolor threads. I am always thrilled to see what design will come up with the mix of colors.

A funky cell phone purse

Here's another cellphone purse I made. I didnt want to start on a big project, so I looked at my stash and decided to do something from my leftover yarns =) This is my latest creation, just made it up as went along. I started with the light blue yarn that was in the crochet kit that Tina gave me (yes, she gave me a lot of nice things!) I had some LB fur yarn left over, also from Tina, and in a matching light blue! I kept thinking "c'mon be funky", because looking back on my past projects they are all predictable - plain and simple. I also get to use some of my crafting accessories. Here I used a plastic button and some glass beads.

Couldnt resist using at once the wonderful fur yarn sis just gave me. I used the burgundy color and matched it with the LB wool ease in Burgundy Sprinkles that Tina gave me in the Autumn SP swap.

Yay... more yarns!

I got a package from my sister today, in it was a postcard with a cat figurine picture from the British Museum. And...the wonderful surprise, she sent me some beautiful fur yarns named Eskimo, by stylecraft. I love it! Thanks Sis!!! Each one is like a cute little stuffed toy, I just need to put some moving eyes and I can have fun with it... Of course, I'm now on the lookout for projects I can make with these lovely yarns =)

"The Sak" Hobo bag copycat

Here now is the bag I've been talking about, what do you all think? =) I've laboured on it for three days. I still have to sew a lining and put a magnetic closure to it.
The pattern is very easy to follow, but the tightweave stitches require a lot of patience. Moreover, I didnt really like a pink bag, but since I had a lot of pink threads I decided to use it. The project used up 9 1/2 balls of cotton thread size 8, with 3 strands worked together. I got the bag color and flower hang tag idea from The Sak website. And this is where I got the pattern online.

Notes on the pattern: The bottom part was done using a 3mm hook as instructed. I think I would use the 3.5mm hook all throughout the pattern on my next try, as I didnt like the way the bottom was shaped.

Crochet and other stuff

Its been a week, the excitement of the crochet olympics has worn off, what's next? Seems I am at a lost again on my crochet projects, starting a few things and not finishing any :( I started on a bolero, but its turning out too small. Also started another drawstring bag, and I'm not really into it. Now I saw another "sak" bag and decided to do that and it really takes a lot of time and takes a lot more effort because the stitches have to be a bit tight. But I know the result would be rewarding. So I hope to finish it in two days and I wanted it to be a surprise. The pattern is available online, for free. Photo shows the flower I designed to embellish the bag.


Btw, to those who ordered some threads from me, the threads will be arriving to me this week. Sorry for the slight delay. Will update you soon on your specific orders, thank you so much for waiting.
