Celtic Weave Bag

I haven't updated this blog for a quite while. Life is busy as usual but it doesn't stop me to knit and crochet! 

I created and listed this Celtic Weave Bag Pattern for a while in early spring this year. I designed it for my daughter who always wanted to have a tote bag with texture. So I thought a basket weaving pattern would be perfect! This pattern has plenty of pictures to guide you step by step. Although it’s an advanced crochet stitch that takes a little practice, it’s easy to remember once you get the hang of it.

Today we went to Princeton University for a walk. The weather wasn't too nice, strong wind and rain, but we had a good time walking, talking, and drinking coffee in the campus! 🍁🍂☕

New Design: Little Bunny (Pattern)

Wow! I haven't written any blog since 2016! OMG! I almost forgot to update my new designs here! Life is busy as usual but it doesn't stop me to create.....In these past years, I mostly focused on knitting rather than crocheting. I've knitted many beautiful knitwear. If you're interested, please visit my Ravelry account to see them.

During this difficult pandemic time, I have created few crochet designs. One of them is this Little Bunny! I was inspired by a newborn bunny in my backyard one day in early spring, just before Easter! The bunny was so cute who was in brown but also had a patch of white fur near the tail. Therefore I made a pattern of a bunny right away! Hope that everyone is doing well during this difficult time and stay safe and healthy!

Daisy Granny Square Cushion Pillow

I think I've been fallen in love with granny squares!  I used to be scared of making granny squares because I have no patience to make many of them and join them together. I was once making a piano cover with granny square. I made 30 of them then I quit.  The squares became coasters in the kitchen!

I think I've been growing old enough (not a granny yet!) to patiently crochet granny squares now! I'd say I love it!  When the Stitch Studio Storybook lullaby yarns were on sale at A.C. Moore, I bought dozen of them - every single color! They've been sitting in the closet for a while and I was thinking how to get rid of them. I used them to make amigurumi dolls but I still couldn't finish them.  Suddenly granny square just popped up in my mind and I made two beautiful cushions with these yarns!  The small cushion is 12"x16" which is a perfect size for me and the square one is 16"x16" (16 squares in total, huh!). They're bought at Walmart under $3 each! Great deal! So, two cushions were made for my daughters! They of course love them!

Unfortunately, they're made by freehand so I don't have a pattern.  After I posted it on Facebook, so many people were asking for a pattern. Sorry ladies, I'm too lazy to write the pattern in words but I drew a diagram of the granny square. Is that ok?  For the back, many people asked, what it looks like.....it's nothing!  Just double crochet in white yarn with 3 buttons for opening! If you'd prefer, you can double the number of squares so that both sides look the same. Therefore, the buttons would be at the edge.

This is how I block the squares by using an empty Kleenex Tissue Box. Stick 4 bamboo sticks inside the box and through the bottom!

ahhhh.....I always have trouble to name the Treble Crochet...tr or tc? I'm confused!

 

Sunshine Granny Square Baby Blanket

My little nephew was born in May so that I made this sunshine color baby blanket for him!  I chose the DROPS Muskat cotton yarns because it's 100% mercerized cotton. I think it's good for babies. However, it's a little heavy. Cotton yarns are not as light as acrylic yarns!

Anyway, I love the combination of colors - so bright and full of sunshine! You can find this free pattern in my Ravelry shop. Please click HERE for free download!

Enjoy!
