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: Crocheted bookmark

Although I really enjoy the convenience of using electronic books, I still have a huge crash on paper books. What can be lovelier than reading outside on a sunny day. But that can be a challenging affair in windy Scandinavia, with all the pages blowing away. So why not use a rubber band to keep the pages from blowing and keeping it as bookmark at the same time? 

Everything you need is a rubber band really, but I decided to make it a little prettier, so I crocheted around the band. 

It took me maybe 10 minutes to get this done and I think it looks pretty, not to mention the usefulness of it.

A rubber band, scissors - all you need!
But I made some crocheting around the band ...

 

Voila!
