CraftBlog: Update 007, Upgrades of 3 Previous Designs

Front Page of CraftBlog UpdatePost 007 by ChameleonStar

Hi, craft lovers!
This is my 7th update post on the studio.

I finished with the work on Imelda, Milda and Drew crochet zipper pouches/clutch bags (which were first introduced in Update #002), and also made a pair of fingerless gloves for myself, which I love and sometimes wear when working on the computer.
I'll share with you photos of my new gloves at the end of this post.

Drew Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag

I used a lot of beads to finish Drew, and now it looks more happier-go-lucky than I first intended, but, hey! -- a happy look is just what is needed during dark times.

I design my projects so that the finished look would give out a cheerful, comforting and delighting feeling to light up the mood. And with Drew, personally, I think I've managed to do so. I love her joyful exterior and light colors; and especially bright yellow tassels~

It was a pleasure working with Drew, and I want to make other copies of her in different colors to see how it will play out with different color palettes.

Milda Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag

I didn't do any additions to Milda, except for light lines I embroidered between ribbon flowers on the front.

Made a lining using satin fabric and now the demure little pouch is ready. She is a great addition to my other bigger projects, which makes her look like a little chick between big chickens~

Love her for her modest appearance and chirpy flowers.

Imelda Crochet Zipper Pouch/Clutch Bag

And finally Imelda.

These are flowers I made for the decoration.

I did a lining and added handles on both sides.

She looks adorable to me and very cozy and comfy. I love to store some of my yarn in her, because it gives her form and makes her more bulky as without the content she loses her silhouette.

Love her calm color palette and look forward to making more copies of her in different colors.

Now about a new side project.

New side project: gloves!

As I promised in the beginning of this post, I'm sharing photos of my new gloves I made.

I used YarnArt Jeans Crazy yarn for this project and really enjoy how it looks and sits on the hands. I chose to go with bigger and darker buttons for decoration because I wanted to have a more solid feeling to it. Enjoy wearing it and have a lovely feeling when looking at them~

That is it for now, folks!

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 ...

CraftBlog: Update 001, 3 Crochet Zipper Pouches

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 en...
