back after a short hiatus



I am back to blogging after a short hiatus and am hopeful that this time I will be able to post more often. My addiction for crochet has increased and I have now progressed to crocheting wearables!!! I just finished a v neck sweater vest. The pattern came from here.

I don't usually wear pullovers and so I changed it to a cardigan but ran out of yarn when I finished the front and back.

I have also been working on small thread pieces to satisfy my instant crochet urge and as part of the crochet along that I participate in here. I finished the semicircle purse from here

I made mine with local yarn called RS Dori here in Chennai and I am so in love with this thread. The shopkeeper sold it to me as macarame braid but I am enjoying it for my crochet. I used the same thread to make friendship bands last year and a couple of Nordstorm bags this year. I have not yet lined my purse and use it to carry my keys and mobile on my morning walks.
I also made this same pattern in size 20 rayon thread to be used as a keychain purse but I am yet to add a zipper and the keychain part to it.

And finally my best piece in thread crochet so far a necklace/choker for moi!!! I modified the edging pattern from here

I made mine with the same size 20 rayon thread in turquiose blue and cream/gold with pearl lorials(beads) and attached an adjustable rope to it.

Hope you all enjoyed looking at my work just as much as I enjoyed working on them.

Ciao!
