Crochet V-stitch Cell Cozy

I missed to post my cell phone cozy here. I made this after I changed my timing from evening to morning walks. Morning is a pleasant time when pollution in air is comparitively less compared to evening time. The birds are active chirping, trees looks fresh after a sleep to rejuvenate us for the day with their oxygen factory.... oho! I am taking you somewhere else!!

Instead of carrying it in hand I thought why not make a mobile cover for myself and thus ended up making this cell cozy which I can hang in my neck.




Used silk thread for this project (told by the vendor). It comes in many colours with a shine.  It is a local make and didn't have a brand label on it.  The thread is thick and stretches while in use & contracts when not in use.

Many crochet mobile cozies in the market here which has a shine is made using this thread.

I used I-cord method for making the chord for hanging it on neck. You can check the video for it here  

Made some chains for base foundation, followed by two rows of SC around and then V-stitch around till desired length.


I liked this gorgeous button which goes well with this silk thread.


Happy Crocheting

crochet flower bag

Presenting  Crochet Flower Bag



Though I finished this bag long back, this time I wanted to get the lining and stitching zip done by a tailor for a change. But I feel I should have done this by myself now. He could not get it, the finish I expected.

Those who want to give it a try, click on the link to get the tutorial.

I started this say more than 8 months back and kept it aside unfinished as I could not get the same yarn colour in the market.

I used 4 ply thick acrylic wool for this work which is easy to wash and dry. This is a very interesting project which I enjoyed doing very much. 

Just do two flower motifs and one connector piece a day.... you will finish it within a month.

Happy Crocheting

Crochet Scarf - Pink

I  was hooked to some crochet project which I will share with you one by one in the coming days.

A beautiful scarf in baby pink colour finished just now. Because of the light effect the exact colour has not come in this picture. But in the following pictures you can see its beautiful baby pink colour.


 
I used Vardhaman 4 ply light weight knitting yarn (around 400gm) and crochet hook Tulip (Japan) No.1.75mm hook.

The finished length measures :- 64" excluding tassels

I made 57 nos. of motif and joined them and finally gave a v-stitch border at both ends, then attached 7 nos. of tassels at each end.

The motif design (courtersy google search) :-



My finished work - motif close up shot :-




Exact colour has come in the above picture

Crocheted Puff stitch Beaded Coin Purse

While organizing files in my system noticed this old photograph of a coin purse made by me and then remembered that is not yet posted here.

Made this coin purse some months back.I made set of 3 purses in three different colours but took photo of only this one.

Gifted it to my friend's daughter. My joy knew no bounds when my friend said that her daughter was proudly showing it to her friends saying "My Mira aunty gifted the purses to me.."
