Place Mats

I have so much stash leftover from previous incomplete projects, that as soon  as I have an idea, I  need to work on it.  So I keep digging to see what comes out!  These are place mats made of viscose thread.  I am sure its been lying around for years and years..finally it comes useful.


Midnight Star..when doing this I was contemplating should I leave it as place mat or join all of them as runner.  As you see I left it as a place mat.

At times I wanted to keep a vase or a bowl on a ruffled piece instead of just a flat piece...these are my ruffles :)

Earrings and Color!!

Working on longer pieces which means it seems like it is simply not getting over fast enough.  This weekend I started on smaller projects.  Check these earrings and their colors!

Personally I love wearing 'dangles'!!  Using thread I can make I as big or tall I need without the weight!

How many times have you seen the yellow.. simply could not resist using this color.  What do you think of this one?

No words to express this one...

My all time favorite color

I have to find a way to take another picture of this one..this picture does not do justice to this piece

Its my blue again

Dainty pinks!

Tea Light Holders

After experimenting with different threads, I finally a couple of tea light holders with different types of threads.  

Which do you think is better?

Bavarian Crochet

I always wanted to learn new techniques especially if I can add more colors.  I had seen lots of colorful patched work and a single piece but with colors.  Did a lot of research on it too.  This is called Bavarian crochet.  Its been quite a while since I am trying to learn this one.  I bought books, surfed the net but still could not get it right.

Then I came across the video by Crochet Geek on youtube.  This video was absolutely brilliant.  Here is my sample.

It needs lot of improvements. for one i need to use better threads!  These ones are too too thick and look needs to be a bit finer.

But Hey.. I can use this as a pot holder!
