Crochet basket

I love making baskets. They are so quick to crochet. In these ones I added a little frill to make them a bit more romantic.

Crochet tunic

Making this tunic took some months. The pattern is from Novita magazine, Summer 2014. I just modified the model a bit by eg, adding the bow to make it look less like a tent and more like a dress. Pretty happy with the outcome.

Crochet a rose

I made these roses, following the instructions in this blog:

The roses are quick and easy to crochet. By putting a safety pin on each of them, I plan to wear these in hats or bags... or then the little girls in the family will steal these.

Striped crotcheted pillow

Crotcheting this pillow took me 3 weeks, 500 g of yarn (100% cotton) and patience. It is 52 cm x 52 cm.

To store stuff

I bought the second Virkkuri book by Molla Mills a month ago. The book is as inspirational as the first one. I made already a couple of churns (maitotonkka in Finnish) and a crochet box to store my craft books in. The bigger churn is filled with stuffed toys and the smaller one with hairbands my twin daughters loose all the time.
