Any Ideas?

I have had a mental block and am not sure what to make next! I'd like to make something different but have no ideas! If you have any ideas feel free to post them, as I love little projects!

Crochet Peter Pan Collar

I have seen several photos of these cute little crochet peter pan collars and I decided to give it a try!

I didn't follow a particular pattern, I just thought I would try and see what stitches and shapes I liked!

Here is my attempt!

Hot Water Bottle Cover

I finished the back and attached them together. After finishing I realised it was a bit small!

I crocheted around the top to make it a bit longer but also to give it a nicer finish

I have temporarily tied some of the pink yarn round the neck, but I will either get some ribbon to tie round or crochet a proper tie to go round!

I hope you like it! I am pretty happy with it! If you want the heart pattern just message/comment and I will give it to you!

Hot Water Bottle Cover

Slowly getting there! I have finished the front! Yay! I am very happy how it has come out, now I am just knitting a plain cream back in knit stitch

Hot Water Bottle Cover

I am slowly expanded the cover! I really enjoy using the two different colours, as I haven't done much of it within my knitting! it's quite easy once you get the hang of it!

Later on Friday...

Saturday morning...

Hot Water Bottle Cover

I have finally decided to start the hot water bottle cover! My original idea was for it to have cables on the front, but I found a really cute little pink heart pattern in my knitting book and decided to do that instead!

Cushion Cover Finished!

Hooray! The cover is finished! I will admit I did make quite a few mistakes with ten cable but it does get confusing after a while! I am very happy with it and plan to make some more!

I also added a zip so I can take the cushion out!

Cushion cover

I wanted to experiment with the circular needle, so I thought of making a cushion cover using it. I have decided to do two diamond cables down the front and the rest being purl

There are the results so far:

Coin Purse Ideas

These are a couple of mocks ups on how to make the purse. I was just thinking about the pattern or shape, not how I will make it look more pretty. I think the purple one is a much better shape, of course it isn't perfect or symmetrical but it was the concept I was going for. The actual thing would be much bigger of course

New Snood

I bought a circular needle to have a play with and I have made a snood! It is very basic and is purely just knit stitch but I managed to do it in only one evening! I can't believe I haven't used a circular needle before they are so easy to use! Here is my snood! I may add a flower into it at a later date

Coin Purse

I was looking on the website 'Notonthehighstreet' and came across a really cute crochet coin purse. It's so adorable and I wanted to try and make one for myself. So I have ordered some metal coin purse frames which you then sew your work onto. I am quite excited about this, as it isn't like anything I have done before! I have started experimenting with how to make the coin purse itself and will update you with my results soon!

Cushion Cover

As you may have suspected I think my next project is to make another cushion cover, which I will sew my new crochet flowers to. I am undecided what colour the cushion will be, but I will invest in some soon and keep you updated!

I might try and do something similar to these, as I have recently learnt several different cable stitches

Another Crochet Flower

I have made another crochet flower. This one is smaller as I used a smaller sized hook. I also made a little bud to go in the middle of the flower which is the same colour as the other flower. I think this one is much more successful, this is due to using a smaller needle and the flower being less 'gappy'.




I decided and added a nice little matching trim round the first flower. It isn't perfect by all means, but I think it adds a nice touch. I made make another or just have the two and add them to a nice cushion cover :)

Christmas Organisation!

My mum bought me a pretty good Christmas present as well! I got a new knitting bag and knitting needle wallet! Is about time I organised everything as so far I have just had everything flung in bags!

Best Ever Birthday Present!

One of my friends bought me this amazing knitting book for my birthday! It's brilliant! I would recommend investing in it! It has some really good patterns and things to make in it. But it also tells/shows you how to do so many things/ stitches. One section which I am very keen to have a go at in putting beads/ embellishment into my knitting!

I created some squares from the stitches at the back of the book, here they are:

Finished Scarf!

I eventually finished the cable knit scarf over Christmas!

This is the final product!

I am kind of happy how it has turned out, but it definitely isn't one of my bests! I got very carried away with the amount of tassels I put on! Also I found the scarf doesn't sit very flat, so could do with a sight iron to make it sit a bit flatter!

Crochet Flower

I wanted to experiment with creating some little decorative things and I came across this video to create these cute little flowers

There are 3 videos with 3 different parts. I watched the first two then did the last layer myself and I think it came out ok!

 

Let me know what you think!

Absence!
