Gehäkelte Pompon Schals/Crochet shawls with pompon yarn

This were some of the fastest projects ever done. It is so easy. You use sl st only - 2 with the yarn between the pompons - and I alternated connecting every 2nd or 3rd pompon. I hope you understand what I mean.

  

Gehäkelte Pompon-Schals/ Crochet Shawl with pompons in red-orange and black

This were some of the fastest projects ever done. It is so easy. You use sl st only - 2 with the yarn between the pompons - and I alternated connecting every 2nd or 3rd pompon. I hope you understand what I mean. The result is really cute. I will try to sell them on a fleamarket - I hope I find people to buy them...

  

 

Gehäkelter Revontuli/Revontuli in crochet

I really likes working on the Revontuli. I used the Schoppel Zaubergarn with it and it came out like this. Also that I had to go back several times it was not annoying me like the Birch did. So I will do another one for sure.

  

Its not blocked yet.

Crochet - quick and easy. The pattern is from Ravelry.

  

Dishcloth Pinky

Finished the next pair of dishclothes:

 

I call them pinky - due to the main colour.
Size: 21 x 21 cm


11.4. - 13.4. 2010

Top Candy

It took me far to long to finalise this simple Top.

 

Source: ONLine Spring/Summer 2009, Modell #6
Yarn: ONLine 134 Candy in orange, 100% Cotton

Difficult to knit - the yarn was splitting up.
Had to lengthen the carriers in order to make it fit and long enough.
It took me far too long to get the rings - I finally took 2 wooden rings with 30 mm instead of 36.

Pattern on Ravelry

I published the first wo patterns on ravelry - for free.

Designer name: Arwen8 Designs

Pattern #1: Dishcloth 3 col 'on the edge'

Pattern #2: Dishcloth on the edge.

They have already been downloaded a lot. Wow. I did not expect that.

Ich habe die ersten 2 Anleitungen auf Ravelry veröffentlicht.
Sie wurden schon fleißig heruntergeladen. Das hätte ich nicht gedacht.

Dishcloth in orange, green and white

April 5 to April 8

Another pair of potholders is done.

Just one row of orange, green and white after the other. I always continues where the yarn was. The edging is not well enough. I add it to Dawanda.

The Easter weekend

I had a busy easter weekend seeing the family in Berlin - but I did have time to work and finish two pairs of dishclothes:

I also finished the spiral skirt which I gave as a present.

I bought the pattern for the skirt on ravelry.

Ich war fleißig über Ostern: 2 Paar Topflappen und der Spiral Rock aus Ravelry.

Dishcloth in black and white

March 25 to march 31

The pattern was done as with patchwork technique.

Each square was added to the one prior - row by row and witht he 'on the edge' technique (as I call it).

Top Starlight

Been lazy the past weeks - due to the PC game Puzzle-Quest. Therefore I did not sew up the Top until yesterday.

Ich war in den letzten Wochen faul - wegen des PC-Spiel Puzzle-Quest. So habe ich das Top erst gestern zusammengenäht.

Doll dress crochet finished

Started last weekend, finished on wednesday - Towards the last rows I had to reopen it again and again an again - as I got it wrong so often. That was boring.



Am letzten Wochenende begonnen - und Mittwoch beendet. Gegen Ende mußte ich andauern wieder aufribbeln, weil ich immer wieder Fehler gemacht habe. Das war langweilig.

DaWanda Shop

Ich habe am Wochenende auf DaWanda einen Shop eröffnet mit dem Namen ALEVA.
Irgendwie muß ich ja doch mal anfangen, meine Hobbies zu finanzieren.

On the weekend I opened a shop on DaWanda named ALEVA. I need to start selling so that I can afford more stuff to work with.

Necklace in lilac - crochet

Finished yesterday: the necklace with lilac yarn.

Auf den Nadeln/On the needles

Ein schwarz-weißer Topflappen in Patchwork-Technik liegt herum - der 2. fehlt noch.
Top Candy - noch spannen und fertigstellen.
Top Starlight - Noch spannen und fertigstellen.
Häkelkette mit lila-weißem Verlaufsgarn.
Häkelkleid in weiß-Grün für Baby Born.

Im Wohnzimmer ist wieder alles verstreut: Garn, angefangene Teile, die gespannten Teile, viele Perlen... ich könnte die doppelte Menge an Platz brauchen.

Ohrringe und eine Kette

Ich habe aus dem Urlaub einige Perlen und Ohrhänger mitgebracht - heute habe ich daraus folgende Kette und Ohrringe gewerkelt. Die Loops sind alles andere als perfekt, da ich noch keine Rundzange habe - aber ich bin ganz zufrieden... aller Anfang ist ja bekanntlich nicht leicht.

I brought some pearls and earring hooks back from vacation - and today I went to create my first necklace and earings. The loops are not perfect - but it is ok for me - every beginning is difficult...

Back

I returned from Australia last week - and it was just wonderful !

I went to 2 shops for beads and was overwhelmed by the big choices.

Over the weekend I finished knitting the Top Candy and the Top Starlight and yesterday a necklace (crochet).

Started to crochet a dress for Baby Born.

Seit Tagen habe ich hin- und herüberlegt, ob ich mein Blog hierher verlege. Und ja, die Möglichkeiten zur Gestaltung sind hier um so vieles einfacher und vor allem vielfältiger.

Mein Blog war bisher zu finden unter: createe

So, dann will ich mich mal ans Gestalten machen...
