Last month I was working on some secret stitching and promised to show you this month what I was working on. It was these.
Yes, another little log cabin pin cushion - this time with no gusset. It is about 3" across.
The little pouch bag I made using this pattern from s.o.t.a.k handmade - a good basic pattern in four sizes. I made the smallest.
Whilst in UK last weekend I collected a large package of wool from The Wool Warehouse in order to make this blanket.
Good job it is squashy so that I was able to get it in my suitcase! I love the colours. I made a start on some of the blocks while I was away.
What I realsied was that I needed a small container in which to keep my crochet hooks, stitch markers, scissors and needle while I was working on the blocks - and so to my project for FNSI!
I used the same s.o.t.a.k pattern but adapted it to make a squatter pouch to keep all my little tools in.
Another little project for Friday was to make this card using 1/2" hexies for a poorly friend.
Now, while talking about the s.o.t.a.k pattern I also want to show you this wristlet bag that I made for my Mum adapting the same pattern.
I used some Liberty furnishing fabric samples and added a pocket to the inside, leaving out the boxed corners on the base.
It's a useful, adaptable, beginner friendly pattern that I am sure I am going to use a lot.
Well I think that is enough for one day - hope everyone had a great Friday.
I am also linking up with BagIt 2017 run by Patty at Elm Street Quilts.
You've made some useful little bags there!
ReplyDeleteWow, Lin! You have been busy! Pretty crochet! I love the way the wool is being packaged these days. A friend from handicrafts was only showing us her wool last week with a bag just this like this! I love your crochet hook pouch, it’s very pretty. I really need something like this!
ReplyDeleteIt’ll have to go on the list!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful crochet blanket you are working on,pretty colours..
Very useful and very pretty bags. Love the Afghan.
ReplyDeleteI love your pincushion and matching bag. The fabrics are beautiful. I admire your ability to make bags, they frustrate me too much. Your crocheted blanket is already taking shape so quickly! Don't you love the organza bags that their yarn comes in. I recognise that crochet hook...bought one myself in that size and 2 other sizes. So lovely to hold. I also like how each size is a different colour. I look forward to seeing your crochet progress.
ReplyDeleteYour bag looks wonderful. Thanks for linking up to the Elm Street Quilts Bag It event.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful projects.!

ReplyDeleteThe little bags are so cute and useful. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThe squares for the afghan are wonderful. Love that colour assortment.
Goodness Lin, you certainly made a quick start with your crochet... the pattern looks beautiful, can't wait to see it come together!
ReplyDeleteIt's always neat to see the various bags that you've created! They are so nice to have to tuck in a larger bag or purse. You made all of those crocheted blocks already! You must be really enjoying yourself and I love those colors that you're working with.
ReplyDeleteHappy stitching,
Judy
Hello Lin, you've made such delightful and very useful bags. I love your choices of materials too, especially in the pin cushion.
ReplyDeleteThe little tag you've sew into the side is cute too - it's so nice putting your name on your creation, I liked that.
Your card is lovely as well.
It's really beaut catching up with you once more, hugs :D) xx

ReplyDeleteGorgeous work! Love little bags and pincushions! I bought a bag of wool from Wool Warehouse a couple of years ago and it made a beautifully soft and cuddly Afghan! I’m looking forward to placing another order soon!
ReplyDeleteYou are just so prolific Lin! I've just bought a copy of Simply Sewing magazine and feel inspired to try some practical makes too.
ReplyDeleteHi Lin....don't you just love the wool warehouse!! Even tho I live in the USA, I order all my yarns and projects there. You new crochet project is so pretty as are the other items you have shown us. Did you see the "Eastern Jewels" on the WW site? That is my next crochet project!
