CraftBlog: Update 005, Upgrades of 3 Previous Designs

Front Page of CraftBlog UpdatePost 005 by ChameleonStar

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.

Gloria Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag

With Gloria I only added some beads to the insides of flowers and did the lining. It kinda made the design more atypical, and a bit of red color brought in some unexpected results. I really enjoy the look of Gloria now, it became more balanced with additional red to the general green.

Petra Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag

With Petra I added lots of beads to the front and the back. I didn't want the beads to pop up too much, so I used only red and white colors, which is the same color palette as the pouch's body itself. Now Petra looks more confident and determined~

And this is it for now!

Wasn't too much work to do, but I'm happy I finally have almost finished projects on my hands. Right now I'm busy with writing patterns of them and, hopefully, that won't be a struggle.

As always, 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 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 ...
