Crochet/Knitt Baby Boy Hat and Booties Sets

Hello,

Sharing a few baby boy crochet/knit hat and boot sets.  These are very quick to do.  Each set can be finished in about an hour.  I bought a smaller knitting needle and with that I can knit much faster than the bigger needle.  I don't know why, I just like to work with smaller needle.

Knit baby booties tutorial
On the tutorial for the knitting booties, she used 38 stitches.  I reduced to 32 stitches and size 5mm knitting needle.  I like how the booties turn out much better then the size 8mm needle and the 38 stitches.

and from the football pattern I just change the color and made this set.  Crochet baby booties tutorial.

then this set.  I like the knit booties better because  they finished evenly compare to the crochet booties they never came out even due to my crochet tension.

I used Caron Simply Soft yarn and the knitting needle size 5mm and crochet hook 3.75mm.  I like to crochet tight then after a few wash it will be loosen but it will be still wearable.

Thank you for stopping by again.

Bridal Shower Favors

Hello,

Phew! I finished and dropped them off 105 Hershey nugget purses and clutches.
Oh, my! of all the 25 white purses, I happened to pick the one with the off center pearl to take the picture for my post. Not so impressive.

Added a little tag at the back.

Inspiration of the nugget purse was from  here.

The tag didn't look good on the clutches so I added the tap in the front. The clutches were made using 2 medium tags from Tags, Scallop combo # 2 die.

Enjoy your weekend!

Black & White Crochet Flowers Altered Photo Frame

Hello,

After making the pink crochet flowers photo frame, I wanted to see how the black and white would look.

  It was difficult taking  picture of the black and white color.  I always took picture with natural light and that day it was so bright that I hardly see the image in the lence. 

The flowers and the leaves were made using size 10 crochet thread.

Leave tutorial can be found here.  The flowers were inspired from here and here.

Crochet Purses

Hello,

I have a few more little purses to share. 

For these purses I used Red Heart Super Saver and I used 2.75 mm crochet needle.  The stitches were tight so  the purses turned out better than my older purses. You can fine the purse tutorial here.  However, I  made the handle a little different.  For the pink and yellow purses I added a few extra chain stitches to the handles.  Then I crocheted around the chain stitches.  This way the handles have a nice round looking.  For the blue purse I chained 38 and double crochet one in each chain. Then I sewed the handle to the purse.

Have a wonderful day!
