CraftBlog: Update 001, 3 Crochet Zipper Pouches

Front Page of CraftBlog UpdatePost 001 by ChameleonStar
Welcome to the 1st update post on this CraftBlog. It's a small and comfy welcoming introduction to my first creations that I've decided to share with you here and I will continue doing so in the future to represent crafting projects that I do. Right now I'm mostly focused on crochet designs, so you'll be seeing a lot of those kinds of stuff.

Today I want to start with my very first crochet zipper pouch designs that I've made and was definitely inspired to make much more. Although I'm a big fan of amigurumi (which you'll see very soon), this post will show you specifically three designs of crochet zipper pouches; however, in future update posts I'll share more of other types of projects, such as amigurumi, crochet jewelry, crochet home deco and crochet clothes. Making unique things with your own hands is a magnificent feeling and you can always appreciate your work no matter how many mistakes you've made during the processes of creation -- at the end of the day this is still going to be your work, and you will still feel this special kind of emotion of pride and admiration. I believe crafting helps to improve self-esteem, aids with diving into your own creative side of self and what is most important -- immensely benefits your mental and emotional health. If you are already into any kind of crafting -- you know what I'm talking about, if not -- I strongly encourage you to try it out and see how you are going to feel about it after few hours.

This update posts serves as a means of preserving the journey of my own adventure of crafting, which I'd like to also share with anyone out there who might get inspired, who is looking for new ideas, who is curious about different kinds of projects and who wants to level-up in own's techniques. For me it's important to keep track of sequences of my creations because I'd like to see the progress in future years to come. So I'll be posting photos in my update posts that I've made during times of actually creating a particular project, even if it happened a few years back.

In this first post I'm going to share three crochet zipper pouch designs that I've named Belladonna, Gloria and Petra. They aren't finished on these photos (so, these are WIP, -- or work in progress, -- photos), so expect images with finished versions in my future update posts.

Belladonna, Gloria and Petra Crochet Zipper Pouches/Clutch Bags

Made three rectangular crochet zipper pouches. Decorated fully only one of them and made two pairs of flowers for other two pouches. It was pleasant to work with beads again, since it was couple of month since my last time.

All three zipper pouches are about 9.4 inches long and 4 to 5 inches high (24 cm long and 10-12 cm in height). I already sew in zippers for them and later plan to add fabric lining to make them even more cute and sturdy. Right now I'm glad with my in-process projects, and in the future finish them altogether.

Beads and yarn haul

Also I bought more yarn, beads and ribbons for future projects.

New crochet projects

As of future plans on next bags, I'm thinking about making something lighter in colors and also something smaller with a simple crochet technique, but with ribbon decoration on the front part of the body. 
Stick around to see what's gonna come out of that idea!

Keep your mind sharp and have peaceful thoughts everyone!
Have a fantastic bag day!

Sizes and Types of Crochet Hooks

If you’re just learning how to crochet, it's obvious you'd want to know about sizes and types of crochet hooks. Until you've worked with crochet hooks for a while, you won’t know which you prefer better, that is why you should experiment and buy at least a couple of them. Also, below you can find Crochet Hook Conversion Chart to help you out when you don't know which yarn to use with which hook size. A crochet hook has a slender handle with a hook at one (or sometimes both) ends. It is used to pull thread or yarn through loops to create crochet stitches. Materials, sizes and handles can be very different. Each kind has its own benefits and disadvantages; it all depends on the comfort, price and the ease of use. A crochet hook can also be used to pick up dropped knitting stitches, thread beads onto string or create hairpin lace. The crochet needles vary from small to larger sizes; each needle works with different weights of yarn. And just like with a knitting ...

CraftBlog: Update 005, Upgrades of 3 Previous Designs

Hi, craft lovers! This is my 5th update post on the studio. This time I wanted to share the insides of finishing work of Belladonna, Gloria and Petra. Instead of working on new projects, I've decided to finish my first three crochet zipper pouches/clutch bags designs. So this is the sneak peek at the more polished versions of Belladonna, Gloria and Petra, however, I do plan to make some adjustments in the future. I've blogged about these 3 projects before in my Update #001 post, so if you want to check it out the link to the post is here. Belladonna Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag With Belladonna I did some embroidery work and added the lining. Three new additional colors popped up nicely and played well on the lime pouch body. I really enjoy the final view of Belladonna, it has a very fresh, sparkling, somewhat spring flavor to it.

CraftBlog: Update 009, 3 New Crochet Zipper Pouches

Hi, craft lovers! This is my 9th update post on the studio. All of the projects are doing great and there's been a lot of work done. I finished decorating some of my previous designs, started a couple new ones and did a lot of lining work for my previous projects.  Today I want to share 3 new crochet projects in their finished look. Their names are Ariete, Luna and Léonie. All of them have quite a sweet and soft touch, and they were all inspired by warm spring thematics. Ariete Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag The design was inspired by the blooming of spring flowers and I wanted to add a bit of cool freshness to the whole picture. The clutch design was made in hope to bring some white floral elegance into everyday life. The body of the clutch is quite simple and most of the work was focused on decoration. I wanted to try out some 2-side colors ideas for some time now and am very happy about it coming alive like that~ I chose royal blue color for one side and the borders and crepe ...
