crochet projects, hopefully
Here are some things I have been working on the past few weeks or so. I don't know if the stinkin' pictures will actually show up, since Blogger is quite temperamental about image naming conventions.
Rainbow Tweed purse in "Big Prints" yarn and some fuzzy novelty yarn that, providentially, perfectly matches these insane colors. Flower in scrap green cashmere from a hat I made recently. The "Big" yarn really lives up to its name--it's about a half inch thick, worked with a Q hook. The whole bag is in slipstitch, which makes it look like knit instead of crochet. Score!
Hot Pink handbag in "Burly Spun" wool, with some fuzzy novelty yarn I forget the name of. This was before I learned the proper way to decrease, but I like the ripply effect anyhow. This was also before I learned how to mark the rounds, so I was always forgetting which round I was on. The strap is interlocked circles, like the chunky chains of recently fashionable handbags...
Black thread and "carnival" bead necklace with silver toggles. Easier than I thought it would be, and much easier than it looks! Single crochet spiral is the structure, and you slide a bead up to the stitch each time.
Beaded teapot with hand-painted wool (?have to check the wrapper). Don't ask me how I made it, because I just don't know. The handle is much like the above necklace, but the rest was a real challenge. The teapot is about 4 inches wide and a couple inches high, with a removable lid.
