Crochet bag from Molla Mills

For some while I have been following a Finnish crochet artist Molla Mills. She is not only a gorgeous girl, but also has amazing crochet ideas and products. Following her recipe from her book "Modern crochet" I crocheted this nice net bag. For the handles I used an old belt, which was cut and sewn.

The book has many other cool home and personal accessories, which are explained in an easy way and have detailed pictures, so even the beginners, like myself, can produce some cool things.


PS: You can buy the book on the Amazon.

Crochet pullover

The summer is almost over and it is soon time for cozy warm pullovers! After crocheting a huge blanket with bubble stitches and with some leftover yarn, I decided to get into another project, this time a pullover (in total match with my blanket! Wonder if anyone would find me under the blanket wearing the pullover).

The project is still in the process, but it is almost there!

Crochet blanket. Finally!

After some months with on and off crocheting I finally managed to finish this blanket and damn satisfied with the result! 

Crochet craze - bubble stitch blanket

Working on a large crochet blanket with bubble stitches. Takes time and lots of money for yarn, but I know it will pay of! The bubble stitch looks complicated but quite easy really. I learned it from this video tutorial.

A little update on the crocheted bookmark

I think the crocheted bookmark I made earlier was a bit dull. So I made a little tassel to it. How do you like it?

DIY: Upgrade your sofa with new pillows

From time to time I feel like changing the whole furniture in my apartment as I get new inspirations. But instead of making huge changes, you can make small upgrades with large effects.

DIY: Knitted pillowcases instead of headboard

For a couch/bed potato like myself it is essential to have good pillows and blankets around. Our bed doesn't have a headboard, which makes reading or doing things that one does't supposed to do in bed (like checking emails or surfing online) rather challenging, especially for some people's necks... In order to solve this situation, some huge pillows were bought (80x80 cm) and I started the following project - a knitted pillowcase.
