Add more crochet bracelets to your wrist/s!!!

Oh yes, when I discover how simple is to do something pretty, nothing stops me for a while, as some of you know very well!! ;oD
Anyway, yesterday afternoon, I grabbed one hook (5mm), some soft acrylic yarn, so I started to crochet a chain cord (30 chains) and two rows in treble crochet (american terminology)...




...and just after finished this one, I started a second one in red, but only one row in tc...


....and yes, even a third one....!!!!.....


as you can see, the last one I crocheted has different colours !!! I love stripes a lot, so even one of my bracelets (maybe this one is better to consider it as a cuff!) had to be stripy! The annoying thing is all the ends that you need to trim at the end...Anyway, the cuff has 3 stripes in tc and 2 borders in contrasting colours, worked in single crochet....



Even Margot was really interested in the making of them all.....


Well, when all the trimming was done, I decided to start with the grey one.....For the closure i did use a couple of snaps as in here, but I wanted to embellish it following a nice idea by Erica (thank you my dear!!!), that she showed here !!! So, i tied 2 little bows from a thin ribbon....






sorry for the quality of the last pictures, but a storm was approaching and the sky was really dark..!!!..

The red one had a different "treatment". From a tin box I collected a stripy (!) lace (from and old shirt of mine) and I made it pass through the "holes" of the bracelet...the nice thing is that the lace is not only an embellishment, but even a nice closure (when you remember to tie a knot or a bow!)...



the first two together...


And now the third one (!!!)....








As you can see from the above photos, I've decided to crochet a row in single crochet to close the cuff. Then I choose an handmade ceramic button, but I'm not still sure about it, so I didn't sew it on....
Here they are all together.....

  6. Oh my God! You are a rich lady! So many amazingly beautiful bracelets!
    In India, there is a state called Rajasthan. The folk people there, wear white plastic bangles covering their entire arm. I wonder if you wanna try something like that, an arm full of bracelets. ;))
    Just love your work!

Make it ! The Granny Yarn Chain !!!

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS ???? SURE YOU ARE !!! I now that!!!! ;oD So during this last week I was showing you via Instagram (see  my personal feed ) some colourful pictures about my new crochet w.i.p. , which I completed last night ... ... so this morning, before school/office time a couple of boys helped me with the last photos for this blog post ... TA-DAH ... The beauty of this project resides in the fact that is adaptable to any extent, any kind of yarn and any corner of your home (in or out!) !!! The inspiration and "creative kick" derives from two other projects I've seen around :  The Chain Statement Necklace  by my dear friend Miki from  Set Free My Gypsy Soul  and  Peggy's Comfy Indoors Blanket  by Pip Lincoln from  Meet Me at Mike's  !!! Thank you both, girls !!! It has been a long time since I've been wanting to crochet (or even knit !) a paper chain ... I made some long paper chains for our Christmas tree back in Indonesia but I al

Make it ! Knitted triangular scarf !!!

Last December, I saw a very simple and cute scarf knitted by Angie ( le monde de sucrette) and I thought to knit one for me, too, but then I was busy with the gifts to prepare for family and friends back in Italy .... so nothing was done for me!!! Luckily, some days ago, while browsing through my blogs list, I found a post from Ilaria ( IDA interior lifestyle) , who was proposing the same (she added a pompom!) piece of clothing .... I didn't have any excuse to wait longer for knitting my own triangular scarf!!!! ;oD So, I started .... Do you want to start one, too ??? Well, you need : some yarn ! My personal choice was : Lana Grossa Basics Calmo (59% acrylic, 24% cotton and 17% linen), shade 207. All my 4 balls of yarn (50g each) have been used for this project. Then 2 balls (50g each) from Rowan Classic Cotton Jeans Yarn (100% cotton), shade 365-Sierra, for both stripes and tassels! a pair of 4,5mm  knitting circular needles or, if you prefer, a pair of long strai

Make it ! The Granny Bunny !!!

You know, this picture from my  Instagram feed  has collected more than 900 likes ... ... and a colourful crocheter named Karin @woolfieber , made her own version just looking at my pic (you can find her work  HERE  ) !!!! My idea, since the beginning , was to prepare a photo tutorial for you, but do you really need one ? These Granny Bunnies are so easy to crochet, believe me !!!! YOU NEED : some colourful mercerised cotton a 3,5 mm hook a pair of scissors a tapestry needle beads for embellishments (optional) Please note that I follow the US crochet terminology, thank you ! Each bunny measures 13 cm in height and it can be used for different purposes : bunting, hanging decorations, appliques, brooches, on napkin rings and more !!!! The sky's the limit !!! You can use this pattern even with different yarns and, consequently, hook sizes !!! ;oD Abbreviations : DC = double crochet ch = chain SC = single crochet 2SCtog = 2 single crochet
