52 weeks - 52 projects

Winter is finally gone. One last hat to show here. Since one tends to wear black or grey jackets/coats during the cold season since they go with everything else which makes them the easiest choice, you need brightly lored accessoires to make winter look less drab. Green ensemble with a loop scarf in...

So much yarn in so many colors – why not make some jewelry? I made a necklace out of some grey cotton yarn. Four strands of chains, then bundled up by a flower. Sew a button into the centre of the flower – tadaa! Got yourself a pretty necklace within less than one hour. Excuse [...]

As with last week’s project, the inspiration came from Pinterest: Little birds. They looked cute and adorable and easy to make. They sure are! All you need is some scrap cotton yarn, eyes (I order them here: Little Crochet Bear), a tiny bit of orange felt and batting. And then you can easily m...

I did get some crochet done in the past week but today I want to show you my bottles. Since I used yarn, it still counts for a project although no needles or hooks were involved. I saw a couple of those on Pinterest and thought I might give it a try. Especally since I [...]

I saw a crochet owl in Pinterest and loved it. There are enormous amounts of cotton yarn lying around here so I picked some of it up and made two owls: So what to do with them? Guess they would make a nice brooch though they are really big. I found two magnets when cleaning [...]

Not exactly. Those are partyhats for cats. What? Yes, partyhats for cats. A friend of mine specifically asked me for them. I used some cotton yarns I had lying around, with no specific pattern. I started from the rim and then went up, decreasing along till there were only a couple of stitches were l...

My new addiction is Pinterest. Have you already tried it? It is awesome since you can organize interesting things visually. If you save them to your booksmarks list, you tend to forget them. Especially for crafts Pinterest is heaven. Or hell. Because there are so many awesome things on it that you s...

My last article! Week 52. My project is officially over. My yarn stash officially not a tiny bit smaller. Oh no, it is the same size than last year. But hey, that’s ok. I can totally live with a huge yarn stash! Last item of my project is a crochet panda bear I made for [...]
