Pairs of Booties.

Last Friaday my aunt asked me to make her a pair of booties. Well, not to herself but her girlfriends newborn daughter. 

As the last time I attempted to make a pair for the aunts son it was not quite a success (one pair was way too small and another fit quite snug). I then quickly made a third pair that was more like it but the design was not as far as fancy as I would have prefered.

This was that. Now she warned me that I’d  make them bigger. As I remembered how small they were!? Well, 9-10 centimetres was set to be the size. 

I started googleing and this was one of the patterns I had seen several times on Pinterest and on All About Ami blog that I follow. 

I like the style and shape a lot. I used Katia Pima Cotton yarn and a 4mm hook . It’s incredibly soft and I would think rather warm too. I added a pair of wooden buttons and sew them on with some hot pink thread. Including the search for the right pattern I finished them about 4 hours later.

Then I recieved a picture of what my aunt actually had in mind. It was more like a classic-vintage-lacy-mary-janey style of baby girls booties. I used this pattern as a base and added a bit from myself and here’s the result. They remind me of cotton candy, somehow. 

The materials are Bio-Baumwolle eco-cotton and some rahter mysterious brand of yarn that basically just says “100% cotton” on the band for the details which is actually not bad at all to use. Again I added a pair of buttons – this time a matching pink colour. Somehow these ones took me a lot more time than the last ones, more like about 6h.

I posted them last night and am not quite sure she has recieved them yet. We’ll hear.

Eelmine reede mu tädi palus mul teha paari papusid oma sõbranna tütrele. Kuna viimane kord oli natuke ebaõnnestunud (kui ma tema enda pojale tegin paari liiga väikseid ja paari väga parajaid papusid). Tookord tegin siis veel ruttu kolmanda paari lisaks ka, aga nood ei olnud nii edevad. Tegelikult ma siis väga edevaid vist poleks väga osanudki, ha!

Seekord sain igatahes hoiatatud, teha suurem paar. Mitte, et ma oleks mäletanud, kui väikesed need liiga väikesed olid!? 9-10cm öeldi ette, peaks sobima.

Hakkasin googeldama ja leidsin ühe kifti mustri, mis oli mulle varemgi Pinterestis ja All About Ami blogis silma jäänud.

Minu meelest on nad nii mõnusa kujuga. Nagu päris väikesed saapakesed sellised, erilised. Kasutasin Katia Pima Cotton lõnga. See on selline ülipehme puuvillane lõng ja mulle tundub, et ka üpris soe. Panin sinna külge veel ka paar mustrilist puidust nööpi ja õmblesin nad erkroosa niidiga kinni. Ma olin väga üllatunud, kui avastasin, et olin nad koos mustrite otsimisega umbes 4-5 tunniga valmis saanud. (:

Pärast seda sain pildi, mida tädi ise oli mõelnud papude all. Rohkem selline traditsioonlisem-pitsisem-mannavahusem versioon. Võtsin ette ühe mustri ja tegin selle järgi põhja, ülejäänu lisasin omaloominguna. Lõppkokkuvõttes päris suhkruvatt näevad välja ju! (:

Viimaste tegemisel kasutasin Bio-Baumwolle ökopuuvilla (ka mõnus pehme, aga mitte päris selline, nagu pima). See on selline rohkem vormi hoidvam materjal ja sobib nendele kingakeste taolistele hõljuvatele papukestele hästi. Detailide tegemisel kasutasin tundmatu tootja 100% puuvillast lõnga. Selle lõnga vööl polegi väga muud rohkemat infot. Aga iseenesest tundub ka käes täitsa mõnsa. 

Lõpuks lisasin veel paari lihtsaid roosasid nööpe. Kokku kulus nende peale tunduvalt rohkem aega, sest pidin vahepeal ka paar korda üles harutama – läks vussi. Oma 6h läks vist küll.

Ei teagi, kas see postisaadetis on nüüd saajani jõudnud või, kuidas nad ka tegelikult sobivad – eks kuuleb!

Legwarmers.

This is for another challenge that came up. Actually I was just starting to making one of these as I noticed the legwarmers’ challenge  in Isetegija.net. I registered myself right away and a few hours later I had finished my pair of woolly warmth. Here is finally the post and an image.

I used my 4.5mm crochet hook and Lana Gatto Nuovo Irlanda merino wool yarn. I also added little star shaped buttons on each of them.

I didn’t want them to be too fancy as for warm and thick. I’m quite pleased of the result but I might unravel a few rows as they seem to have a bit more give than I originally had thought and tend to be more loose.

I chained 40 and then single crocheted through back loops only changing the colours in  every two rounds until I had 20 total stripes (40 rows). On the last row I crocheted it through the beginning chains as well joining it to round. Last I changed the colour one more time and single crocheted around all the edges. As simple as that! (: Then I added a button on both of them.

Some of you might notice (or probably not) that I removed one little banner from my sidebar. It was the challenge I made my lace collar in. Well it turned out they didn’t accept it as the part of it because I called myself joining the challenge and posting the work in one post. It was supposed to be some kind of rule that stated that. Or I’m not quite sure.

They said that generally it goes some other way around. I thought well – f that and left that to be. I still don’t get why they do that or for who the challenges are or why. Plus the albums that are created to collect lots of inspiration. Apparently if you don’t write your stuff down the ‘right’ way or time it is a no-go.

–(Two days later than starting the post) I discovered that another work-along accepts stuff submitted the way I did. Now I’m even more puzzled of how it works over there. I have tried to ask but that’s about as far as it goes.–

I just sighed for that and are seriously thinking it all over whether to accept any of the challenges from there at all or not. They are just total mood killers some time and I don’t want that for myself. I will still try to do my best and finish the on-going ones correctly but I guess we’ll see what happens. A bit sad but what can you do!?

One more thing – as from today I will also post in Estonian as I’ve had some little feedback that not anyone understands this rather common language of English.

Niisiis. Tänasest kirjutan ka eesti keeles. Esimese asjana mainin ära, et päris 100% üks-ühele need tõlked kindlasti olema ei saa. Kirjutan kõigepealt ühe ja siis teise, mitte ei hakka tõlkima. Nii on lihtsam, loogilisem ja kergem kõigile, ma arvan. 

Need on siis minu isetegija.net foorumi töö sääriste koostegemisse. Avastasin selle teema mõned(kümned) minutid pärast seda kui olin ühega neist algust teinud. Õhtuks oli paar valmis ja nüüd siis ka siin Teie ees.

Tegemisel kasutasin 4.5mm konksu ja Lana Gatto Nuovo Irlanda meriinovillast lõnga. Lisaks veel väike tähekujuline nööp mõlemile.

Ei tahtnud väga edevaid teha, pigem olid mõttes soojad ja paksud. Lõppkokkuvõttes ei pea pettuma. Ainukese asjana, võib-olla siiski kunagi harutan paar viimast rida üles, kuna nad venivad päris kenasti. Ei ole liiga ümber vm.

Tegin aluseks 40 ahelsilmust ning nendele hakkasin heegeldama kinnissilmuseid ainult läbi tagumiste aasade. Seda kõike nii kaua, kuni oli kokku 20 triipu ehk siis 40 rida. Viimase rea heegeldasin esimesega kokku ringiks. Kõige lõpus vahetasin veel korra lõnga ning heegeldasin ülemise ääre (oleneb, kust poolt vaadata), siis mööda liiteserva alla ja alumise ääre. Tekkis selline kohakuti olevate servade efekt kergelt. Serva nurgale sai pandud väike värskeltsoetatud nööbike. Mõlemale. 

Tähelepanelikumad ehk märkavad, kuigi tõenäoliselt mitte, et ma eemaldasin paremalt ühe bänneri või nupukese. Seda sellepärast, et minu töö  ei sobinud sinna või õigemini esitasin ta valesti. Linkisin pildile ja liitusin nimelt ühes ja samas postituses. Tuleb välja, et nii ei tohi. Koostegemise eestvedaja küll küsis, kas soovin ikka liituda, aga ma keeldusin viisakalt. Ma ikkagi ei saa aru, kellele või, miks neid koostegemisi seal tehakse, kui pidevalt midagi kelleltki tagasi lükatakse. Minul juba teine selline. OK, esimese ajal olin ka nö noor ja roheline foorumi kasutaja, aga asi ei tohiks üldse nii keeruline ollagi, et keegi uus asjast aru ei saa. 

Kõigele lisaks avastasin paar päeva tagasi, et teise teema all täpselt samamoodi esitatud töö aktsepteeriti. Võta siis kinni!? Ma igatahes otsustasin, et väldin neid edaspidi. Need, milledele olen oma “jah” sõna öelnud, üritan ikka ka parima anda ja õigesti kõik täpselt ära esitada. Iseasi muidugi, mis sealt välja tuleb. Ma lootsin, et nende projektide kaudu saab inspiratsiooni vm, aga minu jaoks on nad rohkem kui korra täpselt vastupidi mõjunud ja sellest piisab. 

Tõenäoliselt loen ikka foorumit edasi ja vaatan ringi, aga ikkagi on kuidagi liiga ülereglementeeritud ja piiratud see loomeinimeste kokkusaamise koht mu jaoks. Mulle meeldivad lihtsad asjad, aga seal seda väga pole. 

Naturally crochet lace collar.

One day when I was not quite with my stash but had about half a skein of Rowan Purelife organic cotton yarn in Oak Bark and a 2.75mm crochet hook. I decided I have to find a pattern that could be done with such limited supplies. Off I went googleing and found this rather  fun collar pattern by Lulu Loves.

If you look really closely you can see that the yarn has subtle colour variations from a little lighter to a little darker. On the picture they seem a little like shadows or texture but the yarn really is like that. I didn’t notice at first when I bought the yarn or used up the first part (it was in a pattern where it was hard to tell)  but I really like it.

I embellished it with a wooden button. I tryed crocheting one at first but that looked too gigantic and not very flattering.

As the pattern was really easy I recommend it for all of you. Even if you don’t crochet much. You only have to know three stitches to finish it and it takes really little time and effort. Also suitable for someone like me who just can’t keep themselves working on row after row in a blanket for example. I have made some but they take time as I have to take breaks or work on something else in between. 

I haven’t really had a chance wearing it yet but I’ll find an outfit to fit it soon enough.

Yule Goat.

Here is another kind of a secret project I worked on. It was for a local craft forums Advent Calendar (no 14). The pattern is in Estonian but I could translate it if anyone would be interested. I shall write down some translations, perhaps they would help (or maybe just confuse a bit more):

vr – magic circle (as said)

ks – single crochet (US terminology)

as – chain

aass – slip stitch

(x) – number of stitches on the round

*…* – repeat from between

2ks ühte – 2 single crochet in one stitch (increase)

2ks kokku – single crochet 2 together (decrease)

ringi lõpuni – around

lisa täidis – add stuffing

 

 

 

 

There have been a couple of other things up but one I forgot to photograph before shipping it away and the other one is up and coming. I have lots of WIPs. I should try and finish more of them. I also got the first feedback about one of my patterns. There will be some referrings. Coming soon.

 

13/31 – A Pot of Flowers.

This is one of those patterns that I stepped on, saved it somewhere and one day just had to make. I didn’t follow the pattern just the day I discovered it (sometimes happens) but it stood there. Lately I have been wanting to make my own designs more although this one was finished quite a while ago. Maybe even in spring. Some patterns/designs just look so adorable that it makes me want the same kind of thing. Usually I try to make some specialities in there as to make it my own but as for this particular plant I almost accidentally used the originalish colour scheme as I used the yarns I had in my stash. The pattern is from Lion Brand but you have to register to see it (both the pattern and the registration are free).

I used 100% organic cotton yarns for the flowers, the yellow is 100% merised cotton and te leaves and ‘dirt’ just plain 100% cotton. The pot is 100% acrylic. The result was pretty much as I expected. I think every time I follow a pattern my expectations are pretty high. Not sure if the pattern was easy enough (to follow) or was it just pure luck – I ended up pretty much the same pot as on the picture I first looked at. Chuffed to bits about it!

I constantly remember or discover things I should make. I really hope the majority of them really gets done. It might take some time and effort but in the end I know I would be really pleased with myself if I manage to finish everything I plan.

As for the missed blog days it’s really going as I expected – not really active at weekends on that part. I am trying to stay off behind a computer as much as possible and the weekend let me do that a lot. It’s just a sporty interest for me to discover how many post I manage to make until the end of October (since 5th and not ‘pushing’ too much or making pointless posts). From then on I’ll see when I’ll finish my 31 posts that should have theoretically been fitted in one month. I’m looking forward to.

Last weekend I finished one tiny commission. It still needs capturing and possibly I will blog about it among some other similar makings which are all a follow-up to a previous design of mine. Any ideas?

Thought I’d remind you to also follow my blog and see if you like my Facebook page as well!

Scaled purse.

One day when I was thinking what should be my next project, I just couldn’t decide. I tried to find something from my Pinterest boards but nothing. Then I just went over a local craft forum and put two and two together. There was a make-along thread for a bag/purse and I had pinned Bernat designs Mermaid Tears Purse. I hit two birds with one stone and started making my first crochet bag (I think).

 

The original version used 5.5mm to 4mm crochet hooks but I took a finer yarn and so a 3mm hook. Thus the purse came a bit tinier and I decided the original handles wouldn’t fit. After a bit of considerations I decided to chain some gaps in the top edge for them. I also added an oval bottom-piece and reinforced it with a thick piece of cardboard. That also stated it needed a lining and I hand-sew a piece of cotton fabric along with a vintage piece of trimming tape.

 

I thought about adding some beads to the tips of some of the “tears” and a long chain for the strap but then changed my mind and decided to keep it as it is. What do you think – would it look better with some additions or not? Here are some rainy-day images:

 

 

Mini minion.

Since Despicable Me 2 is coming and I can’t seem to get over the trailer I thought it was time to create my own minion pattern.

Once again I wanted it to be as simple as possible an in this case – tiny as well. I made it using a 3mm crochet hook and it measures up about 6cm, the width is about 1,5 – 2cm.

I attached a key ring chain to it in order to make it usable as well.

 

You will need tiny amounts of yellow, blue, grey and black yarn + some filling and an eye or two. The key ring chain is optional.

 

Make your own Mini Minion like so:

1. Using yellow single crochet 6 into magic circle

2. single crochet 2 in all stitches around (12 st in total).

3. – 8. single crochet around (12)

9. single crochet around changing colours like this:  3 yellow, 1 blue, 1 yellow, 1 blue, 3 yellow, 1 blue, 1 yellow, 1 blue.

10  - 12. single crochet in blue around (12)

13. single crochet all stitches together around (6)

14. using black yarn single crochet around in back loops only (6)

finish off

 

Using yellow yarn chain 3 and finish off, make two like this.

Attach them as hands on the sides of the body (in the 1 yellow between the blues on row 9).  I only sew the hands from both ends so the middle part is kind of just floating.

Wrap a little black yarn around the bottom parts of the hands to make gloves.

 

Place the eye or eyes.

Chain long enough strip with grey yarn to fit around the eye and sew it in place. In case of two eyes make that double.

Chain long enough strip with black yarn to reach from one side of the goggle(s) to the other. Sew it in place.

 

TIP! If you don’t have such black and white wiggly eyes or anything similar you can use pieces of black and white felt instead!

 

Don’t forget to tuck all the tail ends inside!

 

Now you have made start with your own little minion army!

Kokeshi Doll: Free Pattern.

Hi everyone!

I thought I should give a try on a photographed tutorial on an amigurumi pattern. As an introduction I chose a traditional Japanese kokeshi doll. It’s made of 100% bio-cotton yarn but you can use any you like. Just remember to take a hook a bit smaller than recommended.

In addition you can use safety eyes but I opted for embroidered ones. You can also find any ways you like for decorating her hair and kimono, for example embroidery. I really don’t want to put any markings here actually.

The work goes in spiral so I suggest to use a marker (for example a piece of contrasting yarn) and move it at the beginning of each row.

All suggestions are welcome I’m not even sure if the pictures are in any help but I would sure like to know!

If you make your own kokeshi doll I would love you to share it here!

Amigurumi Kokeshi Doll by AmiCrafter

you need: 

white yarn for head

any colour yarn for the kimono

black yarn for hair

small amounts of black and red embroidery floss for the face

crochet hook a bit small for the yarn

large eyed blunt needle

some fibrefill

optional:

safety eyes

pellets for the bottom of the body for her to stand up better – if I had any I would have probably used them!

decorations for the hair and kimono 

HEAD and BODY.

Use WHITE yarn.

round1:  single crochet (sc) 6 into magic circle, place marker.

round2: sc 2 in each stitch (12 stitches in total), move marker.

round3: *sc 2 in one, sc* repeat between ** around (18), move marker.

round4: *sc 2 in one, 2 sc* repeat between ** around (24), move marker.

round5-9: sc around (24), move marker.

if you use safety-eyes place them now. it’s easier if you have the hair ready first, though.

round10: *sc 2 together, 2 sc* repeat between ** around (18), move marker.

round11: *sc 2 together, sc*repeat between ** around (12), move marker.

add fibrefill

round12: sc around (12), for the last stitch, as you can see on the picture, I have left it incomplete. change the yarn for the kimono colour and pull the last loop through with it so the colours will stay in line. Move the marker.

Continue with DRESS COLOUR yarn.

round 13: *sc 2 in one, sc* repeat between ** around (18), move marker.

round 14:  sc around (18), move marker.

round 15: *sc 2 in one, 2 sc* repeat between ** around (24), move marker.

round 16 – 19: sc around (24), move marker.

round 20: *sc 2 together, 2 sc* repeat between ** around (18), move marker.

round 21 – 25: sc around (18), move marker.

round 26: through back loops only: *sc 2 together, sc* repeat between ** around (12), move marker. this creates a corner to the bottom so she could stand up better.

 

round 27: sc 2 together around (6), finish off, leave tail for sewing the tail. During that try to pull the tiny hole tight. 

THE HAIR.

round1:  single crochet (sc) 6 into magic circle, place marker.

round2: sc 2 in each stitch (12), move marker.

round3: *sc 2 in one, sc* repeat between ** around (18), move marker.

round4: *sc 2 in one, 2 sc* repeat between ** around (24), move marker.

round 5 – 8: sc around (24), move marker.

round 9: sc 14, chain 1, turn. from here on it goes in rows. I’ll continue the numbering but state how it goes. 

row 10 – 13: sc 14, chain 1, turn.

In the end of row 13 continue to the sides of the rows and sc 4, sc 10 on the 8th round, sc 4 on the other sides of rows 10-13. finish off, weave in tails.

THE BUN.

round1:  single crochet (sc) 6 into magic circle, place marker.

round2: sc 2 in each stitch (12), move marker.

round 3-4: sc around (12).

finish off, leave long tail for sewing on the hair piece, stuff with fibrefill.

use large-eyed blunt needle and sew the 12 stitches of the last round of the bun onto the 12 stitches of the second round of the hair piece.

I completed the hair with a simple bow.

THE FACE. 

to embroider he face take a long enough piece of black embroidery floss, make a knot in the tail and put it in the back of her head (which will be under her hair afterwards).

try on the hair and look for the best place for the eyes.

do the same with a piece of red embroidery floss and her lips.

bring the tail ends back in behind her hair.

make a knot in the other ends as well. tuck the ends in, I used the help of the back of my crochet hook.

The rest is really up to you – decorate the hair and kimono according to your taste.

Sneak-Peak – Kokeshi Doll.

Sneak-peak to a kokeshi doll I crocheted. I also wrote down the pattern and even took photos of the WIP. Something to look forward to. 

Ewok.

EWOK

This is the second Star Wars character I made. His name is Ewok and that’s basically all I know. It was also part of the combo I gifted for my big brother. As a bonus the tutorial of making the spear is also added here.

It was most fun making him. I studied the pictures hard and tried to find a way to compliment him the most. I think he is quite recognizable.

The special thing was crating the spear. I searched for some perfect tiny pebbles and used up a couple of toothpicks and some thread. It really turned out better than I had hoped.

The pattern is in US terminology and the measures are in metric.

Feel free to use this pattern refer back. I would love to see how your Ewoks turned out!

• Toy eyes
• Toy animal nose

• Ch – chain stitch
• 1+1 – two stitches into one stitch, increase
