welcome to our blog skip to main skip to sidebar welcome to our blog monday july 26 2010 monday 7 26 10 my finished hex on shrug do you remember from an earlier post when i first received the crochet wear book and i made the hex on shrug for my friend stephanie i loved making it and how easy it was to make the hexagons and to put them together the whole thing took a couple of mornings when i dropped the shrug off at my lys twist to display it in the windows for the month of march i told the shop owner shelly that i thought she should order the book since she is so nice and believes in me she ordered the book and the sweet thing about it was that she had just got in the same brand of yarn that the pattern called for of course i couldn t resist looking at the yarn and then falling in love with it and just had to get some of it for a hex on shrug for myself like many projects that i think i ll start for myself this one also fell to the wayside to make room for more important projects like the design contest pieces and gifts last saturday i had a few hours to try and relax so i decided to pull my hex on shrug in from the wayside take it with me to twist and finish it the funny thing about it was that i had all the hexagons already made and had started putting them together in the next few hours while i was being inspired by some of my friends that hang out at the lys i finished sewing my hexes together and inspired some of them to purchase the crochet wear book when i left twist all i had to do was edge the shrug and make a button closure and i finished that up the next week what was i waiting for christmas anyway i stopped by my lys to show off my shrug and shelly was nice enough to take my picture while i was browsing her book section and i think i found another book that i may just have to have shelly informed me that she only has two of the crochet wear books left after my inspirational visit on saturday i love it you can order your very own copy of crochet wear right here on crochetsoiree posted by crochet soiree at 1 00 am comments wednesday july 21 2010 wednesday 7 21 10 july cal doily prize when i was trying to choose a doily for the july prize i found this really cute doily pattern i don t know if it was the easiness of the pattern or the picture of all the different colors of doilies that made me want to make one in every color of thread that i have i made myself stop at 6 but i assure you that i could have made a dozen easily anyway i hope whoever wins the july cal challenge enjoys the doilies as much as i did making them posted by crochet soiree at 1 00 am comments monday july 19 2010 monday 7 19 10 lace weight shawl if you read my blog you probably already know that i have made countless doilies tablecloths and one bedspread from crochet thread size 10 but until now i had never before crocheted anything with lace weight yarn last weekend i was inspired by a friend of mine named jordan i met jordan in my lys several years ago and get inspiration from her and my other friends as well but last weekend jordan was wearing a shawl that i couldn t take my eyes off of we all asked her about it and she said that she had crocheted it out of lace weight yarn well there were several of us who couldn t resist buying some lace weight yarn right then and there and look what i finished a lace weight shawl of my very own and i know this will not be my last lace weight shawl i wonder what sock weight yarn would look like in a shawl since i can t stop buying it as well crochet soiree has some really cool sock yarn for sale here kroy deborah norville red heart bernat etc tell me what kinds of things you have made with lace weight yarn posted by crochet soiree at 1 00 am comments monday july 12 2010 monday 7 12 10 megan s tote made by joshua and tamarfied by me when joshua saw the total crochet for the home book and the multistripe tote he thought of his good friend megan he came up with the color sequence quickly and crocheted the front and the back very fast then it came time to hide his tails well that took a while and he kind of got side tracked and made a few hats and one day i told him that i thought the tote should be lined so i set out to find some fabric in my stash of course when i say i m going to line something i don t have a clue how i m going to make it i just jump in with both feet and start in i decided to put in lots of pockets and i wanted them to be just the right size for the items megan carries so i found out the measurements of her wallet and cell phone and then i just added some more pockets for good measure the lining took up most of an afternoon to make and then i stuffed it into the crocheted tote well once i did that i decided i needed to add a closure so things didn t fall out of the bag so i made a flap with a snap and a decorative crocheted button then last but not least i just happened to have a handle that was rescued from an old purse and it wouldn t be complete without a cover of crochet so i crocheted over the handle and attached the handle to some fabric tabs i love the design process and how things just keep building until you have this ta da i was very pleased with the final product and it was fun pulling it all together for our megan her favorite thing was the little pocket that i made especially for her chapstick posted by crochet soiree at 1 00 am comments friday july 9 2010 friday 7 09 10 my first christmas in july project completed i ve been eyeing this dodge ball set crochet pattern for a long time i was so excited that you use an empty plastic ice cream pail since i have a hard time throwing these away i just happened to have one handy this was a really fun project to make and you ll never guess what i stuffed my dodge balls with i used some of my husband s old t shirts with a little bit of sweater remnant thrown in for good measure i can t seem to throw that away either the combination of the sweater weight and t shirt makes the dodge balls just the right weight to throw and hit someone without it hurting i really like the basket and could see skeins of yarn stored in it also i might have to make another one and use it just for stash yarn tell me which cal project you started with posted by crochet soiree at 1 00 am comments wednesday july 7 2010 wednesday 7 07 10 gift for co worker s grandbaby since i work for a company that s fairly small and family owned it seems like we re all family so when one of my co workers has a baby or if they re first time grandparents i try to crochet the baby something well one of my co workers is a first time grandpa and i decided to make the baby a pair of booties and a hat and here they are i used a combination of dmc senso and a variegated sock yarn that has aqua pinks and yellows in it of course i added my special touches of a flower on top and a personalized label inside i couldn t resist taking his picture as i handed him the gifts its fun seeing a country boy melt when he talks about his new little granddaughter named piper now i m off to finish the gifts for another co worker who is having a boy in july and for another co worker s twin nephews who are being born soon phew what s on your hooks posted by crochet soiree at 1 00 am comments monday july 5 2010 monday 7 5 10 another idea for hats off to mother ok sometimes or more like all the time i go a little crazy or overboard with an idea with these little hats from the hats off to mother free friday pattern i couldn t stop making them and the inspirations on what do with them wouldn t stop either remember when i said you could use them as a pincushion after i stuffed the rolled up felt into the crown of the hat i decided to make a flat crocheted piece and stitch the two pieces together at the rim of the hat for more stability well i showed my sister what i had done and she said that i should use something inside to keep the pins from coming out the bottom so i decided to cut a plastic circle from a cottage cheese container lid and then i poked holes in the circle with an awl i used the holes to help with stitching the plastic to the bottom of the hat then i sewed the flat crocheted piece together at the edges and sewed a pin back on the back just in case someone wants to wear it as a pin you could even sew it to a piece of elastic the size of your wrist and use it for a wrist pincushion the possibilities are endless posted by crochet soiree at 1 00 am comments older posts home subscribe to comments atom followers blog archive 2010 110
