Crochet bracelets

This week I was making some bracelets from a pattern on Haakzaken.
That's a very lovely blog about crochet it's written in Dutch,
but do not let it stop you to take a look.
I made those bracelets with 100% cotton and wooden beads.

I'm thinking about doing more crocheted beaded bracelets,
but I want to make my own design or pattern,
It's just so inspiring to see how you can add something
so nice as beads to your design.
I made crocheted beaded necklaces before,
that was with nylon wire and leather cords,
the structure is very different from cotton.
I can't show you pictures of that, they got lost on my old PC :(

Next week I'm gonna try to make some brooch
I got inspired by the nice pictures on her (haakzaken) blog :)

What´s on the needles #3

This week on the needles,

well crochet hooks to be precise...

I'm making a scarf for a special lady,

who helped me the last year, with coaching and teaching me 

how to plan my day's and weeks.

She went above and beyond to make my life livable again.

Now I'm pretty scared... Because I need to do 

it all by myself again... But she give me enough 

to do it on my own, even thou it's just her job... 

And if I fail, (I hope not, but I'm gonna miss her a lot)

she comes back and helping me again,

and that's the best reinsurance she could give me.

She was like a beacon in a stormy ocean, 

she was a listing ear when I needed one, and not jugging me at all. 

So a little present for her is in it's place...

 The scarf is with a lovely brown cotton and bamboo mix 

and the pink stripes with 100% cotton. It feel so soft... 

I don't have a pattern from it, 

I just crochet the ends with double crochet 

and the middle with granny stripes... 

And I'm planning to make it nice with some fringe at the ends :)

Have a good creative day!

What´s on the needles #2

Last week I finished off the baby blanket
for my niece. With a little size adjustment,
it is ready to wrap it and give it to her.
The pattern I used is from Charami NL
It's a Dutch translation from Attic 24.

And now I'm working on a secret project.
I participate in a swap with a bunch of Twitter people.
The assignment is to make a swap with rainbow colours.
And use your imagination... 
So I can't reveal to much,
in case my swap partner reads this blog ;)
But I love to colours I use at the moment
so here are some nice pictures.

More pictures later on when the project is finished.

Have a lovely day!

What´s on the needles #1

Every week I want to make a blogpost,
with some nice pictures and sometimes a pattern
of what's on my needles that week.
This is replacing my Monday Inspiration,
because I'm out of inspiration at the moment.  
Not that there is no inspiration at all,
I'm just not sure what to share and not ;)

Last week I started a baby blanket,
made from dark pink and mixed pink colours.
The yarn is 100% acrylic because my little sister
can not touch real wool, it's too itchy for her.
It's actually for my niece, the 4th child of my little sister.
I'm for the 7th time auntie again :)

I'm almost done and then I need to make a nice edge around it,
I'm not sure how to do that,
but I think with double crochet stitch. 
I'm gonna post more pictures when it's all finished.

The pattern I use is from Charami NL
It's a Dutch translation from Attic 24.

 Hope you have a lovely creative day!
