3DSP On The Wall . . .

This is the 3DSP work I have been doing, experimenting with different types of crochet and also different materials to crochet with consolidating into a focus on Loopy crochet using a DK acrylic wool and some paper yarn or the black equivalent i found plastic wire. . . The final board of samples were achieved most recently in which i think i took quite a big step into my experimentation...

Taking Down Berrington . . .

Before I took down all of my Berrington Hall Project I realised I hadn't taken a final image of the finished piece so here it is, slightly edited to get rid of that damn blue bar I have running across my workspace which hides all if the electric, a handy little shelf but i wish it wasn't blue... When I was taking my work down I also took photos of a mini installation I had created, but when I was taking it down I thought it looked quite interesting with all of the threads hanging loose... Then to put up all of my 3DSP work for assessment....

Crochet Duck Hat . . . .

Over Christmas I made loads of scarfs for people as presents but like a plonker I forgot to photograph them, this is a hat i made by request from a friend, Ive never made this type of hat before, the duck has real teddy bear eyes and loopy crochet as a fluffy lining for the inside. I must say it was very warm and may have to make myself one perhaps a little less yellow.

End of Berrington . . .

With the projects im working on all coming to an end i have had to create a 'final piece' as it were, in these images it is not yet finished i need to add some more finishing touches before it is assessed Monday morning. I think my desk looks a little boring but i needed all my work down to show off the piece soo... but i have moved my desk along and got more space hopefully will get a table to fit in the gap for a desk extension...

Images of my desk in December . . .

My project at college is coming to an end on Monday the 30th so in the last few months i've been busy busy, thus the lack of posts. These images are how i left my desk space before we broke up for Christmas.

3DSP - Loopy Crochet . . .

After experimenting with some different stitches I found the loopy stitch which simply elongates one of the second yarn over in single(usa) double(uk) crochet. I have experimented with the stitch some more using two yarns at the same time, however i use only one of the yarns to create the loop. Also i found some rubber rings at the scrap store, inspired by Lucy Faulke's use of other objects within her crochet i have been trying out crocheting over them and with them like you would a bead.

3DSP - Crochet . . .

3DSP is a module I am currently taking on my CAA Course, it stands for 3D Specialist Process. For mine I have chosen to focus on crochet, these images display my experiments with different materials all single (usa) double (uk) crochet, and a variety of different stitches some self made in 4ply yarn.

Berrington Hall . . .

Back in 2nd year now and one of our modules is based on the National Trust property in Leominster - Berrington Hall, these are just some images of the work i have done since i went back. I am mainly looking at the marble in the opening hall and satellite images and maps of the property.

Loopy Crochet Bangle . . .

For Uni I am exploring crochet and traditional yarn crafts and i came upon the loopy stitch, once understood and practiced my boyfriend suggested I should make it into a bangle so here it is...

My boyfriend has been unwell, and this has brought out his creative side, he made me this bangle from a swan filters box and asked if i would blog it so here it is handmade by Dan....

100g DK Yarn Infinity Rope Scarf . . .

I accidentally bought a ball of the wrong dye lot for the jumper I have started to make so instead of let it sit i decided I would finger knit the whole ball to see what it turned out like, after i'd started I realised it was quite thin, so I halved the ball of wool and used two strands to produce a thicker knit.

After i had knit the whole ball of wool i began to crochet a chain with my hands and sewed the two ends together to create a loop.

Crochet Rings . . .

Diamond Motif Continued . . .

I have been cracking on with this bag design...there is the layout and i have only a few more diamonds to go before it is more bag looking.

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...

Diamond Motif . . .

Currently working on these crochet diamond motifs...I have 10, i need 14 in 3 different colours and 6 halfs of each colour, long way to go but im attempting to create a version of that bag.

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.
