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.
A project for a nightowl – crocheted wallpaper
Posted by Inger Carina | Filed under Crochet, textile stuff that normally are not textile
I adore bright colored patterns (and I like to mix them). In the back you see my beloved bedroom wallpaper. A flea market find from Amsterdam. It’s a vintage kitchen wallpaper, presumably from the 60′s or 70′s. It is my favorit pattern of all. Suddenly I thougt it looked little like a crocheted old-fashioned beadspread – and then that night was spoiled:-) I had to make a test. Traced it and made a sketch, found the right colored yarn in my boxes and started to crochet after the traced flowers.

I’m starting my own Etsy shop in December. Made more flowers this weekend. I thought they would be nice to sell in the shop.

My friends will recognize these brooches which I have been selling for a couple of years now. This time I changed them a little with an orange ball from a ball-ribbon and embroided yarn knots.

They said on the weather channel -”It’s going to start snowing”. Oh no, I had to rally knit a pair of mittens for my husband and crochet a cap for my daughter.

Working with granny squares and experimenting with the texture using different thicknesses and some effect yarns. This one became very bulky, but I like it. Will se what I do with it later… have crocheted 24 so maybe a bag.

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!
