Crochet carpet for a summer house

Another week-end of crocheting ... and another carpet done. This is for my friend, her summer house.

I even got a blister. So, I needed to take a little break.

 

Test walk by the "client", 1-year old Melissa... She seems to like it.

I made a jumper

I made a crochet jumper. My first one.

The idea I took from here:
http://omakoppa.blogspot.fi/2014/12/virkattu-punainen-joulupaita.html
I did not have any pattern, I just looked at the pictures in the above blog and tried it on while making it. This was surprisingly easy to do.

 

Now I need to get started with the crotchet carpet for another friend of mine.

Crochet carpet like a candy

I made this crochet carpet for a little girl, called Lotta. Her room has some pastel colors ....

.. so I looked for some inspiration for the color scheme in candies .. (the blue is actually mint green and the red is more pink)

First I made a prototype for Lego Friends girls - Emma and Stefanie - to test the pattern.

Then, 3 kg of tricot was the starting point for the real carpet...

 

 ... and then I sat down and started crocheting... few hours ...

 

 

... when the carpet was ready, some pink tricot was left over. So Lotta got a little pink basket, matching the carpet, as well.

 

 

 

Now, another friend wants a carpet for her summer house. Back to the yarn store ...

 

 



Little crochet witches

I felt like making something small, tiny, this weekend... so I ended up making these little witches....

... for no particular reason. They can fly around, at least, during Easter time. As Christmas is gone, I need to gear up for the next festive season.

The broom looks a little bit more like a cigar than a cleaning device. As long as it flies, it's fine for the green fellows.
