I am making baby shoes again. And as usual, everytime i crochet something new, i have no idea how this will turn out. I just let my hands do the thinking. Then after making something, the next problem is how to repeat it. And since I am excited to post this baby sneakers, I am uploading this now.

I used four strands of my Baguio Yarns and 2.10mm hook For the sole and shoe lace, i chose the mint green baguio yarn. And black for the main part.

Without farther ado, here is my very first baby sneakers. I am hoping i could make the other pair. Wish me luck!

Kuya Johann is one of those people who supports me on this money – earning scheme. And as one of my supporters i ‘coerced’ him (literally??) to order something from me. And since he has no idea what crocheted stuffs he would ask me to do, i was the one who offered the stuffs he could order.

One. a crocheted seat rest. (Initial plan) turned head rest (because i ran out of yarn). I saw this cute pillow from a japanese crochet magazine, and I swore i have to make one, but i have to find someone to sponsor the project since I cannot afford to spend much yarn and just own the stuff. I am really on a tight budget here, you know.

And so, dear cousin is always enthusiastic about my crocheting and he obliged. For a promising 1,000 pesos. I will make him a crocheted pillow. And of course, since i diverted from what we talked about. (Black Baguio Yarns to Variegated Blue Wool Yarn) and (Seat rest to Head rest), the price went a bit lower. (750 pesos, cost of yarn is big since yarns are bought from Dreams Glorietta and Indonesia)

He was supposed to give this as a present. But he liked it so much so he’d rather keep it for himself. (thug my heart <3)

You could use this pillow when you feel sleepy during office hours. Nice table decor too.

And these are violet purses he ordered from me too. Initial plan is 10 pieces. product turn out is 5. Lack of time.

crocheted coin purse

These coin purses are really meant to be given away. He can’t possibly force to own violet coin purses.

This was one of the reasons why i’ve been wanting to have wool yarns. I want to try felting and hehe. it was not easy  as i thought. The yarn did not felt the way i wanted it because my (lack of) patience took over.

I cannot share yet the experience since i am more excited about the result. I will share next time the steps I had taken but i want to share this wrist wrap i was able to make:

This is tita nelia, my fiance’s mother. Once she asked me to make her a bolero and I made a version of bongga bolero – biggie sized. Tita nelia, actually loved what i made for her. This is the first big bolero I made. I used a lace-weight yarn using 1.40mm hook size. It took me so long to finish this, just in time for her return to the country.

I managed to acquire a lot of customers and am trying now to do what they asked for.. I’ve been crocheting more than I should but am quite happy that my friends like what i do for them. I experience  a lot of frustrations too when i have to redo what i have previously made or abandon a recent work because its not looking good. But in times when i manage to finish something, it makes me happy.

As of now, i am finished with this Mint Green Striped Front – tied Blouse for ate val. I love the more regular stitches i did here compared to the previous one I made. Plus this one, I have a clearer idea on where to start and how to make the ribbon and how to make the sleeves. I also made sure that I won’t have to create knots when reattaching yarns so the outcome will be cleaner.

This was made using the Mint Green Acrylic Yarn and 1.50mm Hook

This is my first shrug and my first long sleeved crocheted garment. It was quite comfy and i love wearing it when me and my barkada goes out. It just became a bit bigger to me when my friends started trying this on… My shoulders are really low and I’m quite small and since crocheted garments are meant to stretch when forced to it became a bit loose Still it fits so right on my arms that i do not care much if it falls off my shoulder now

Ah, this shrug has been almost two years old and the color hasn’t faded yet. Even if it experienced multiple machine washings. No fall out stitches whatsoever

Remember this one?

Then you could transform a casual get-up to a chic one.

The fabric is soft and light that it could work well with your office attire.
