Purple Crochet Set For A Girl

Hello Blogger Friends!

Birthday gift for girl is so easy to fine or make.  My daughter is going to her classmate birthday party this Saturday and I made this crochet set for her to give it to her friend.

 I discovered a new way to make the gloves.  I knitted the cuff first then I crocheted the rest of the glove.  This way the two gloves finished evenly.  Trying to crochet a pair of exact same glove or sock is not easy as it look because the stitches tension was not the same and I ended up 2 gloves with different sizes.

  I don't like the ruffle scarf that I saw on the web.  It was too ruffle (lol).  It was too curly for me so I changed the pattern.  If you know how to crochet, the ruffle scarf is the easiest scarf to make.

Here is my pattern.  It can be used for 5 to 7 years old.  You can change the pattern by increasing the stitches.   I crochet tighter than other people so I used more stitches.

Baby Girls Crochet/Knit Hat and Boot Sets

Hello,

I like making quick items especially crocheting and knitting items.  Who won't right?  These sets are for new born and the set can be made in just a little over 1 hour.

The color below is Passion.  It is a very pretty purple but it look so dark in the picture.

I like knit booties than crochet booties.  The knit booties are much softer compare to the stiff crochet booties. However, the crochet booties are so cute!

Celebrate You Candle Box

Hello,

You know I personally  love boxes and so do other people. 

I made this candle and shared it last month.  I didn't like the plan box that was holding it before so I made this box to hold it instead.  I kept forgetting to add tissue paper in the box  before I took the picture.

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday!

Gray Broomstitch Scarf

Hello,

When I first saw this crochet pattern, I wanted to learn how to do it right a way.  This pattern is my favorite pattern in crocheting so far.

Isn't it gorgeous? or it is just me.  I just love this pattern.  Can you picture it in purple, raspberry or pink!

I checked the size #50 knitting needles.  They cost almost $10 for a pair.  Even  with the 40% off coupon, they still came out around $7 after taxes.  I knew I am not going to use them so I used a small pvc pipe
 (3/4 inch) , a left over pipe scrap  for the lace.

Have a wonderful day!

Crochet Foam Board Picture Frames

Hello,

So I played around with my foam board photo frames, crochet flowers, and beaded flowers and here are my result.

I honestly didn't like the second one.  Somehow the crochet flowers and the beaded flowers didn't look good together.  I knew it's me and not the flowers.  I need to learn how to do the flowers spray.  I really like the first one.  It is simple yet looks really elegant.  What do you think?

Sharing another wedding card sample.  I like this one better then my other wedding card that I posted not too long ago.  The card measure approximately 5 x 7 inches.  Bright sun combined with black and white made the pictures looked bluish.
