Baby Blanket . . .


My mum has asked me to crochet her a baby blanket for one of her friends at work, i have just started it, i like to have a few project on the go so if one gets boring i have another to carry on with. So far it looks like this although im not sure if the holes are a little too big or not...

Crochet Flower Stool . . .


My parents have had this three legged stool since they got married...inspired by a lot of the floral crochet pot holders i have seen lately i created a new crocheted top. Worked in a spiral circle, using only front or back loops, then the petals are crocheted on...my petals were (dc, tr), (3 tr), (tr, dc) each petal separated by 4 sc's.

Floral Motif Crochet Cardi . . .

Currently in the making, Im not even sure if i will work, I just loved the flower design and have slowly started working to a pattern which i think makes sense...all will be revealed if i get my act together and crochet some more...it would look really nice as a blanket as well...

Crocheted Flip Flops . . .


Originally I had these flip flops in Lilac but the strap on the back had got looser and looser over time so i decided to replace it. After many different ideas I thought crocheting over some of the straps and creating crocheted cord which i could tie in multiple ways would be good. The straps are simply 6ch in the round with 12 single crochets to cover over the loose end then 80 ch to form the strap... simply thread the strap through the loop around the leather straps of the flip flops and you have straps you can remove if necessary. This could be done on any flip flop.

Crochet Flower Coaster . . .

Following on from trying the flower tutorial I thought linking them would be good on a large scale like a blanket, this was my test to see how best to link them, works well as a contemporary doily / coaster.

Crochet Flower . . .

Saw these crochet coasters accompanied by a tutorial on The Yvestown Blog so i thought id have a go tried out my stupidly florescent orange yarn.

Chevron Fillet Crochet Cardian . . .

The first item I've crocheted to the end other than a bag and a few pillows. I'm really pleased with the outcome - initially i was using a pattern from the April 2011 issue of In Inside Crochet yet i didn't have the correct hook size or thin enough yarn so it sort of didn't go to plan...this is why I'm pleased as i made it up as went along only using the technique of fillet crochet and arm design and attachment.

Design Development . . .





Currently we are working towards a final design from the material we gathered and created over our last module. Starting with pot holes, cracks in the road and knitted jumpers with holes in, i have created these few drawings slowly evolving and developing them.

Crochet QR - Code . . .


I really love the idea of a QR-code, a way of hiding information in a geometric design, i decided i would have a go at crocheting one, unknown what i will use it for, and i am very happy that it worked and can be read by a QR-code scanner on my phone. Can you see what it says?? I used this generator to create the code.

Monoprints and Crochet . . .



Using images of pot holes and cracks in the road i created a few monoprints on tracing paper. Putting them back to back in the photocopier creates quite interesting layers, and build up of line. Just a few images of monoprints and then one i crocheted on top of adding texture.
