Seize the day : my giveaway!!!!

My Dears,
I have to celebrate!!!!
One year ago, I posted my first try with crochet (here)....a wiggly green thing, that some days later has been unraveled!!! First crocheted disaster, but from mistakes you always learn something!!!!
Anyway, in one year, I've learnt a lot about crochet (just have a look at my @home made! page!) and I'm still learning!!! Wonderful!
Then, I wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU! to all my blog followers, to the ones that just read my blog or just visit me sometimes!!! I have to remember to thank even my followers on Pinterest !!!!!
A few days ago, I realized that the number of my blog visitors was approaching 50000, so even for this reason I'm here today! The funny (and still unbelievable!) thing is that because of this event, suddenly the visitors were more than 50000!!! This morning I checked : 54972!!!!!!
Well, these few days have been so big for me!!! Thank you!!!!!

In the last post written yesterday, I've shown you this photo....


WHY??????

...Simply because I have prepared for you two (!!!!!) sets to win in this giveaway!!!!

SET ONE :


  • 6 crocheted glass covers (100% cotton made)
  • 1 Japanese Crochet Book
  • 1 little crocheted heart

SET TWO :

    YAY! Another crocheter in Indonesia :)
    Where do you buy your yarn from? I think it's hard to find a good quality yarn locally.
    Anyway, congratz on your 1 year anniversary! Keep crocheting :)

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
