What Yarn Are You?

You are Mohair. You are a warm and fuzzy type who works well with others, doing your share without being too weighty. You can be stubborn and absolutely refuse to change your position once it is set, but that's okay since you are good at covering up your mistakes.

I'm trying a shell pattern using this variegated yarn. Was thinking if it will turn out too sweet for a shawl. Or should I change it into a shrug?



Another snowflake

Yarn: Thread
Hook: Size 2

I'm having fun! I've wanted to make some last year but couldn't find much knitted patterns. Now that I can crochet, I'm so spoilt for choice! I've searched the net and found so many patterns that I don't know which to choose.

I'm gonna buy some white thread!

I found this pattern which looks pretty simple and it's cute! It is indeed very easy and I'm amazed that I can complete it without much concentration. I'm amazed...

Choker

Pattern: Country crochet & knitted lace : a creative guide with projects for crochet and knitted lace
Yarn: Thread, cream color
Hook: Size 2

This is adapted from one of the pattern for edges. The picture shown in the book looks so different from mine. But I ilke this anyway. It's so simple and sweet.

Another gift option? I'm having fun!!

AJ's wristbag

Pattern: AJ's wrist bag
Yarn: Panda Stonewash, 8-ply, 2 balls
Color: Brown

Hook: Gold color

I've finally finished this during the weekend. There were so many ends to weave in and I was so afraid that I don't have enough yarn to sc the edges and sew the sides together. Good thing there was enough of yarn.

It turn out to be quite spacy. My next bag will be done in the round, so I don't have to sew up too much.

These are Rick's creations. The photos taken earlier doesn't really show it off nicely.

He gave some to his colleagues and they refuse to believe that those are his works!
