Freddy the Fox inspired me !!!

In my last POST, I did show you the sketch of my new project….

The sketch is originated by a find on Pinterest, that I pinned on my Foxes board ….


This is Freddy the Fox Zipper Bag/ Case/ Pouch made by tinymeat (handmade art wallets, bags, passport & card cases), but this item is no more available in the shop!!!!! SIGH !

Well, I liked so much this design that I wanted to use it to try some pixel crochet…..
This is what I did, little by little …..






… and this morning I added some more little squares….




I'm working with a 2,5mm hook and using a very soft acrylic yarn (from Indonesia!)….
The pink part was a little bit boring, but now I'm happy for the opportunities to change the colours and I love the tail of the fox!!!!

What is it supposed to be????
Right now I'm not going to tell you !!!! ;oD

HAPPY WEEKEND, xxxx Alessandra

Today link parties : Link your Stuff! and Craft Schooling Sunday !!!!!! Lovely !!!!

      Hi Andree' !!!!!
      I'm quite happy about the result of these few rows and I love how the thickness of this fabric is coming out! The flower is a coaster of this set of six : http://homemadeatmyplace.blogspot.com/2013/06/new-flowery-coasters-for-my-dining-table.html#links

    So neat!! My first thought was, that's a lot of ends to sew in! Great job!!

    Avevo intuito dove ti portava la fantasia , questo progetto è bellissimo !Dico davvero !Forse le piastrelle rosa saranno un po noiose, ma alla fine assemblarle e vedere il disegno completo sarà veramente divertente !
    Buon lavoro

    I think it's going to be a cushion! clever idea. I saw a very healthy looking fox the other day in my garden, he was lovely. He was being very chilled. My little dog wasn't impressed though! Heather x

    Great!! I'm sure your pixel fox will be a beauty ♥. Love the colors! Here and there on the web are pixel blankets to see, maybe you will use the fox motif for a blanket, too?

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 ...

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 ...

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...
