Keychains. For keys, for bags, for fun.

Heart-shaped, colorful, flowering with flowers. In the end - is there any respectable Crocheter that has not played with some heart pattern? :)

It's cold.

Well, it's cold and it's raining. And the clouds are going down to the Earth. In the night, when no-one's watching. Of course you can look, but you will not see anything except them. So what if some of street lamps are breaking through, if besides the small circle of light there's nothing, and you can not be sure whether these street lights will not move straight at you, appearing out of the fog quietly, held by the Ufo? Or the gods of Olympus? Angels? Dementors? Or they will go in the completely opposite direction, and left nothing to see at all? It is not known...

And since it's cold, here's a scarf! :) A huge one. 250 cm long, 38 cm wide. I always wanted to have an anaconda like that, and now I have. It's like an armour. One can hide in it and no cold can touch him. In fact, it's so big that I could wrap it all around me. Not that I'm getting ready for the winter, but I pulled it out. It comforts me before each autumn.



Acrylic yarn, a lot of it :) Crochet hook size - 2,3 mm. I came up with the pattern long ago, when I mistaken types of stitches, and I knew mostly chain. Necessity is the mother of the invention :)

I wish you warm at any form! :)

Sun hat 2/2



2/2 and even 2/many. Many of these specific. Because they're easy and comfortable to make, so you can sail away with your thoughts without stings of remorse about idleness of hands. Besides - I like their vintage style. Maybe even not only I do, since the ladies on fairs tried them on just to see themselves in a hat like this. A small thing, but makes a radical change to the face look and context. Pattern: http://wzoryszydelkowe.blogspot.com Starched and dried on the pot and plywood :) If they are later kept away from the water, they are doing very well. Some of them found new home already, some are still waiting - maybe for you? :)

Again Catania Fine cotton proved itself. Tena from Ören Bayan / Madame Tricot Paris also was not bad. Once the polyester fibres were pulled out, only the cotton strands remainde. The thread is a little loose, but it makes it more susceptible to the starch. Crochet hook size: 2,3 mm.

Sun hat 1/2



Since this is the first entry, I would like to be able to say "this is how it all began!". It would be a nice start. Nice and retro! But it all began so long ago that I don't remember how. And this hat I'm just fond of. It was created with the pattern of invaluable Polish mine: http://wzoryszydelkowe.blogspot.com. It remains only to regret that the starch melts in the rain, making it difficult to gambol in the hat unlimitedly :)

Crochet hook size 2,3 mm, 100% cotton: Schachenmayr, Catania Fine - we've liked each other a lot since this occasion (it has strong, nice looking thread, with little shine and quite good size for hats like that). It's a pitty it somehow occurs rarely in my neighbourhood. Also there are not many colours of it, but they're really pretty.
