12 MOC May

It's time to show off another crochet project, this time my May project. I guess my blogging has become an monthly event, but I don't feel much like blogging at the time, but I'm not ready to give it up for good. 

My May project I actually started almost 2 years ago, but in the beginning of May I decided it was time to get it finished. 

Over the past 2 years I have crocheted flowers of scrap yarn... And new yarn. I'm so glad I finally finished my Arne & Carlos blanket. It measures about 150*190 cm, and made mostly from cotton yarn, and some glitter yarn.

The project I first intended to be my April project I didn't get finished in April, and thought it would be my May project, but it still has some alterations to be made... So maybe it will be my June project. 

Have a Nice weekend everybody.  
 

12 MOC April

I haven't blogged since my last 12 months of crochet post. It feels like we have been super busy the last month, both at home and putting in extra hours at work. So when I have had the time to blog, well I just haven't felt like it.

But here you have my project for this month, a small project, since what I first intended isn't finished yet.

So I made a set of potholders.

I also made a trivet from bottle caps, I had seen someone make them online and decided to give it a try. My parents were at a party and asked them to save the caps for them.

It was actually my back up project last month, in case I didn't finish the dress in time, so here is the picture of those I made last month. I really like all the options you have to play with colours.

Have a great weekend, it's a long weekend here since Friday is a holiday.

12 MOC March project

It's been a bit quiet around here, but I have been busy crocheting so I could finish my March project in 12 Months of Crochet. I didn't think I would finish, so I had another thing up my sleeve just in case I didn't finish this one. But a lot of crocheting, which resulted in a little sore wrist.

A while ago I saw this story somewhere in facebook. This woman crocheted her own wedding dress for only $30... not only couldn't I believe she could get yarn this cheap for a whole dress, and the result was amazing. All the fuzz about her dress made her write up a pattern, because she had just "winged it" on her daily bus commute over a period of 5 months!

Then I saw the pattern was for sale on Ravelry I had to make it. The yarn she had used I didn't know, and I couldn't find it in any Danish stores of webstores. I couldn't even find it online in Europe, and if you order from outside the European Union you have to stay below $13 before shipping otherwise you will have to pay extra taxes on imported goods, which are really expensive in Denmark. But I found a place where I could get 4 skeins for just $12... the shipping was almost $10 dollars... but still $22 for a dress is still really cheap if you ask me.

So here you have my result of this months 12 MOC.

12 MOC February

I know, I know, again a long pause from blogging, I have all the intentions to blog a couple of times a week, but since I have found an app for my Ipad that makes it easier blogging, well then I have to turn on my computer, and I have to admit after getting my Ipad I hardly ever use the computer anymore... so if anyone has any good suggestions for app for blogging let me know, I think I have tried every free app and haven't found any I like yet.

I have been crocheting a bit, and I hope I will get around to taking some pictures this weekend so I can show you what I have been up to. I will leave you a little picture of my February project for the 12 Month of Crochet challenge. I will not tell you what it is, that you will have to guess or wait until I have finished the project.

I hope you are all still doing well. How do you blog? On the computer, Ipad, phone or something different?

Happy New Year and 12 MOC

I hope you all have had a fantastic start to 2015, we did, but I don't have any pictures to show for it. For the first time in over 12 years I have had time off from work between Christmas and New Year. After I started my new job on December 1st I no longer work in the evenings or during the weekends.... and of course no rules without exceptions, so I was working the weekend before Christmas because we were taking inventory. But when I left work on Sunday the 21st at noon I went on Christmas vacation, and it lasted until this morning.... can you believe it, 14 days without working!

We spent Christmas at home, as we have the done the last 5 years. My parents came on the 23rd and the rest of our family came and celebrated with us on the 24th. Otherwise it has been a lot of family time, and one day I really needed some me time and had to go for a walk, because Jonas was driving me crazy with all his questions non-stop, a bit of fresh air helped.

All the time of also left time for being creative, and I started my 12 Month of Crochet project for January. Is it cheating to start in December? Well I don't care, I am a rebel like that:)

So just before bedtime last night I finished the last of the pillows for our couch, I was inspired by a girl on instagram for this last one.

I will give you a picture of 2 of the others that I also made, and Jonas, he wouldn't let me take a picture without him in it.

One is made with bubble stitch, a recipe I found on ravelry, and the other is corner to corner stitch, which I found a tutorial for on YouTube. 

Have a good one:)

New Year Resolution

I have never been good at keeping New Year Resolutions, but this time I actually found one that I think I might be able to keep.

I came by this idea, you have to crochet at least one thing pr. month every month of 2015... you can decide yourself what project you want to do, if it's small or big doesn't matter, you just have to share what you create. It will also be on instagram using the 2 hashtags above.You see that is a resolution I can keep, at least I think I can.

Happy New Year! Do you have any resolutions?
