Weekend Project completed

I spent many hours this weekend putting together this Kooba inspired purse and writing out a bulk of the pattern. I felted the bag and I'm pretty happy with the result, but not sure about the closure. This was my second attempt at the purse, and I think I have it where I want it now. Theclay polymer buttons now, but before I compromise the bag and cut a buttonhole, I'm going to check some snap fasteners.

Chunky Ribbed Scarflette

Yeah, that's right! Another post this year! I'm still busy crocheting and designing. I've got two non-scarf projects that I'm working on, but it's getting more difficult to find the time to get it all done with having custom orders for these scarves. There's a purse I want to get finished, I actually created a prototype which I felted, and it shrunk more in length rather than width when I felted it. I don't know if it's the wool I used or not, but at least now I know which direction I need to go in to make it more of what I had in mind. Also, I want to finish a sweater...not sure if I want it to be a cardigan or a tunic. I guess I need to decide since I've got a pretty good start on it already.

This blog isn't abandoned!

It's been a while...I know, but I have been crocheting, just not blogging. Decided that I would go ahead and post a few of my latest creations and announce that my patterns are once again available, but through Etsy. My shop is MsSunflwr.etsy.com

This is my first attempt at making a dress, it's for my sister's baby who is due in a couple of weeks. I also made a matching hat (not pictured).



This is the Chioma Scarflette made from Caron Simply Soft yarn.



The next is the Nneoma Keyhole Scarflette





This is an unnamed scarflette...I will more than likely use an Igbo name (my husband's native language). I used a chunky boucle yarn on this one. The pattern has not been written out yet, I just finished this one over the weekend.



This last one is also unnamed and the pattern hasn't been written out yet, I just finished this one last night and used handmade clay polymer toggle buttons.
