Crochet & knit Christmas Extravaganza

Tonight it’s a crochet & knit Christmas Extravaganza at Stockholm Kulturhuset (Culture house) .
The SyJunta (free translated from Swedish: sew junta) and some knitterfriends are coming. If you are in the neighborhood: this is the link to what’s happening. (link in Swedish)
See you there :-)

More hairclips made of vintage plastic

I had to start with my Christmas presents. Made more hair clips out of vintage plastic flowers and wire. Try to get a 50′s feel to them.

Every year I seem to give the same gift to everybody – maybe this is ”the gift of the year” :-) haven’t decided yet. They are very fun to make.

More homemade gifts today

Made some hairclips out of vintage plastic jewelry flowers from the 50′s using thin iron thread so nothing pops off. Knitted a brooch, shaped as a bow, in white cotton. Using a pattern from Rachael Matthews as a base but I change it a little. (all knitted in ribb *k2,p2*) Made longer & thinner ribbons, smaller band over the bow and knitted the bowpart in one piece insted of two. Put together on a piece of cardboard with nice turquoise fabric – Voilá! Congratulations Eve!

Craftblog with mixed media

I’m a craft freak and have been since I was 6. With this blog I hope to come in contact with my fellow crafters of the world.

Despite my blogs name (the first name of the blog was; crochetcouture_craftblog), I’m not only working with crochet, but i’ts my absolute biggest love amongst the crafts. I work in all craftrelated techniques; knitting, embroidery, sewing, drawing. My new love is amigurumi and softies.
