CraftBlog: Update 003, 3 Crochet Zipper Pouches

Hi, craft lovers!

This is my 3rd CraftBlog's update post.

There are 3 new crochet bag designs and 3 more to come.

I made 2 zipper pouches with alpine stitch and one greenish melange zipper pouch in a bigger size. I also made 3 simple lime pouches' bodies and 2 magenta ornaments for one of them.

Gisela Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag

The first zipper pouch is in greenish melange colors and is about 10 inches (26 cm) long; it was quite amusing to create as bright colors of the yarn surely lightened up the mood.

I also did the borders and the ornament around the opening in yolk color, which added more earthiness and warmness to the overall outlook. I'm delighted with the design and the project in general.

This zipper pouch got its name, Gisela, because I was studying French while I was working on the project.

Eloise and Angelika Crochet Zipper Pouches/Clutch Bags

The second and third zipper pouches were made with alpine stitch and I incorporated bows into the decorations of both of them. I did some quick bead work to see how it's gonna play out, and I like how it added sophistication into the design.

In the future, I plan to add more stitches on the top with different colors to make it a bit higher.

Oh and by the way, you can see these three finished projects at my Update 008.

Now about new projects.

I finished three simple lime pouches' bodies hastily, because I wanted to try out new ideas for their designs.

I only made 2 magenta ornaments for one of the lime pouches and they look quite adorable. I love how magenta color plays along with lime. I think it's gonna look fantastic when I finish the whole project as I have lovely plans for incorporating floral embroidery into its surface.

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 ...

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 ...
