Crochet gone wrong ?

Okay, I have to admit since I started to crochet a lot of projects went wrong ;)

Whether it were hats that were too big or too long…

or changing colours between rows…

eventually things just go wrong! Unfortunately I tend to throw stuff,that turns not out to be what I want it to, away instantly – but a few were documented in pictures :)

Send pictures of your crochet-gone-wrong projects and a description to crochetierblog@gmail.com –  I will then upload those pictures into the FB fanpage album :)

Share the fun and laughter and tips on how to avoid those mistakes happening.

 

Happy crocheting

Ready for the weekend ?

It’s only tuesday but I’m ready for the weekend to come!

On friday the third round of Friday Freebie’s (I can’t believe it’s my third week as a blogger, phew), a free pattern round up about a specific theme, will be available.

As requested by a very close friend I chose a theme that you will surely love :) simply because I know we ALL do.

Curious ?

Can’t wait for Friday ?

Here is a hint for this weeks theme:

“Wise Mister X,
Keen as he can be,
Quietly watches
From up in his tree.
Suddenly he spies
A fine tasty treat,
Far off in a field,
Ah, something to eat!”

Do you know what it’s about ?

Share this with your friends, so all of them can solve the riddle and enjoy the anticipation!

I’m wishing you a wonderful weekend

Spring wall/doordecor

Hello my crochet friends,

Spring finally arrived here in Vienna and I was in the mood to crochet something to decorate our frontdoor.

So I’ve decided to try on a wall- or doordecor.

I had a very special picture in my mind, how it should look like. I wanted to crochet some kind of a long ribbon, decorated with different flowers, butterflies and maybe some easter related stuff.

Here is what it looks like now that it is finished:

What do you think ? I am very proud of it, it’s my first project of this kind and I think it came out quite well :)

 

doordecorflower

I love this kind of layered flower! It’s so beautiful, the skill level isn’t too high and it works great with different colours.

I worked a few single crochets into around the ring and placed the flower on the upper edge, so that the ring is almost not visible.

Different coloured flowers and butterflies look nice on the yellow ribbon. And the easter eggs just make it look perfect :)

Do you like this decor ? Would you like to have the pattern for this one ? Let me know in the comments :) I’m looking forward to hear what you think about it!

Also feel free to post pictures/links about your actual spring related crochet projects! I’d love to see what you guys are working on.

 

I’m wishing you a wonderful sunday!

Happy yarning everyone
