Kuya Johann’s Orders

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)blue pillow

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

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

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

Felting Wool – ahh the glory of it.

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:

Materials:

Materials Used for making crocheted wrist band

Materials Used for making crocheted wrist band

  • 8 metal links
  • 1 wire with loop at end
  • buttons
  • Chrochet Thread (texture is like the DMC Thread used for cross stitch).
  • 2 metal bars
  • 1.6 mm crochet hook
  • needle (big)

I bought the metal links, bars, and wires at Quiapo. The metal bars costs around 20Php/pack (contains 10), the links and wires are around the same price.

The buttons I used came from stashed buttons given to me by a local wholesale store of threads and other tailoring needs. (I’ll post a blog later)

Choose Buttons with this kind of back:

The purpose of this is the button will serve as the lock of the band.

The yarn’s frm Rosario Pasig. It was given to me free by the manong. Because I bought two kilos of yarns from him.

All in all, the materials came cheap. It took me less than 30 minutes to create this accessory.
