Easel Box For Battery Tealight

Hello,

I made a few battery tea light boxes.  I wanted to see how this purple and white look.  The color didn't turn out as nice as I thought.

I wanted to see how a little bit of green will do. I thought it didn't make much of a different either.

Have a marvelous Monday!

Green Knitted Scarf

Hello,

Winter has finally caught up with us. It is very cold. We haven't had this kind of cold winter for several years.  I don't have proper winter accessories.  I wanted a nice looking scarf so I found one at Ravelry.
The original color is blue and it is absolutely beautiful.  You can see it here.  I don't know where to get the same type of yarn so I got this bulky yarn at Joann Fabric.

The pattern is very easy to follow and because of the bulky yarn the scarf was very fast to knit.  However, this is the reason I don't like knit scarf. Its end roll down.  The top picture showed part of the scarf on the right side folded down.

Here is how the scarf suppose to look it.

I took the scarf apart and redo it.  This time I added 4 extra stitches on the right side hopping this will flatten out the scarf but that didn't help. This is the wrong side of the scarf showing the right side folded in. I took the last 2 pictures on cloudy day so the color of the scarf seemed to change.

I was hopping the scarf  will turn out like this.

I am going to try this in cotton yarn to see if it make any different. 

Until then .....

Have a wonderful weekend!

Cream Crochet Purse

Hello,

I made this purse since last Spring but I never line it until last week.  I used Aunt Lydias size #3 crochet thread.  The thread has a little sheen which make the purse really pretty.  For the handle I single crochet a long piece about 6 rows and then I sew the piece to make a tube and ran it through the holes.

 Here is the liner. I doubled the liner because the purse has so many holes and when I looked at the purse from the outside I could see the wrong size of the brown liner so I decided to try the reversible purse.   I did it correctly the first time which was incredible for me since I  don't sew.

I don't like the fabric color that I used for the liner.  It is too dark which didn't blend well with the cream purse.  So this mean I have to make another one. :)

Crochet Baby Boy Shoes

Hello,

I made this shoes for my 7 months old nephew who live 1000+ mile away.  I forgot to measure his feet when I visited him last month.  The shoes measured about 31/2" long.

Booties tutorial  here.  However, I changed so much that it looks nothing like the tutorial.  I sent to the little guy last week.  My brother called; the shoes didn't fit the baby.  This little guy has a really big feet.  His feet is 4 1/2".  So I have to make a new pair for him may be I'll make sandal instead.

As always thanks for stopping by.

Red Crochet Fat Bottom Bag

Hello,

I saw this fat bottom bag on Pinterest a while ago.  I don't carry large purse. However, the original bag was a little small even for me.  So I made mine a little bigger.

I used one skein of the Red Heart Super Saver.  I started the bag almost double the original pattern.  I started with 30 hdc, 10 stitches for the center and 10 stitches on each size where the increases were being made.

I don't like the handles because they are stretching already and I just used a few times.  I have an idea of how to fix the handles.  I will share that next time.

You can see the original bag here.
Lining tutorial here.

Have a wonderful weekend!
