I'm Back!!!!

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. First of all, as you can see in my blog I changed backgrounds. I liked this picture because it makes the background more colorful and fitting for my contents. It also has different designs. But let me know if it bothers you or anything.

I made two doilies that I liked the designs but it is from Notikaland and Creative Grandma from youtube. Actually, the one that I made from Notikaland is a crochet motif for a table cloth but it is also a doily.

This is the Fanfare doily that I made:

It is made from monaco thread in color light green and I used a size 1 or 1.60 mm steel crochet hook . This is the first ever doily that I made and I made it roughly 7 hours or so. It also has 11 rows... Anyway this is a video tutorial on youtube, click here or you could go to her website and look for more beautiful and unique patterns, click here.

Next one is the doily motif:

It is also made from a monaco thread in color pink and I used a size 1 or 1.60 mm steel crochet hook . Unlike the first doily, I made it in 2 days. It is easy to do and it only has 9 rows. If you also want to make this doily/motif, you can find it the first part. here, and the second part, here.


Also, if you liked my contents please help me in my wishlists on Ravelry, I really want any of the pattern. Thank you for your help! :)

My Wishlist is here.

That is all the projects that I have made for now. Be sure to come backe next time for another crochet and knitting projects. Have a great day!

I am also thinking if I wanted to change my blogger picture too.

That is all for this weekend!! On weekdays I would go to school, so I would post another one next weekend. Thank you for reading my entries and come back again next weekend.
Have a nice day!! Bye!! :)

Project Updates

   
        Hi. I am back for another post for you and this time (as you have read in the title) it's project updates. I'm coming from a sunny but a bit cloudy Philippines. Thank you for giving your time on reading my blog posts, I hope I could always make you happy with just this simple contents.

       I am making another project. It is my crochet hook case but it is like my own crochet hook but just a smaller version. I wanted it to have a zipper and a flap so that it has a cover. As usual, I am making it with a Monaco Thread in colors of green and peach. The colors was inspired by the After The Rain Socks from Becky Sorensen.
She is a very talented girl, I hope I could be as talented as her.

       I also made 1up mushroom from Olka Novytska. It has a color green and white spots. I think I just messed up the white bits of its eyes. But I still really love it. Sorry if it's glowing too much.

         If you enjoy what I post, I hope you could help me with my wishlist on Ravelry. Any of those would make me really happy. You could grant it for me as a birthday gift or as a thank you.

Crochet and Knitting projects

Hello everyone, my name is Alinsky and welcome back to my newly made post. I am coming to you from a sunny morning here at Manila, Philippines. Yesterday I posted my first ever content for my blog and was happy to you all who viewed and read it. Today I would like to talk about my Crochet and Knitting WIPs (work in progress) Projects. 

My Crochet WIP:
1.  My own pencil case

This one is a crochet pattern and design by me. It is just a series of one row of single crochets then three rows of double crochet. I used Steel Crochet Hook number 1, which is 1.60 mm crochet hook. The Thread I am using is a Monaco Thread in the Shade B21 and Dye Lot PC89315. I bought the yarn at a local yarn shop.

My Knitting WIP:
1. My Coziest Memories Blanket

                     © CraftyAlinsky

This is my ongoing project, it is The Coziest Memory by Kemper Wray from Junkyarn Designs. It uses scrap yarns from leftover sock yarn projects. As you could see in the picture it is not long enough to be a blanket, but do not worry because I would add more squares to it. I used a 4mm straight knitting needles. It is larger than what the pattern calls for. The yarns I am using are a 4ply Handknitting Yarns and it is approximately 18 grams but it doesn't have to be that much. You just need 5-6 grams if you are using the exact needle in the pattern.

The Coziest Memory is a free pattern on Ravelry that you can download for free.

That is all the projects I have for now. If you liked this feel free to comment and visit my Ravelry account. Thank you for reading and stay tuned for the my next post. Goodbye and have a great day! :)
