Crochet Critter

This weeks crafts is a wristlet and some hair clips. I actually have a pink wristlet that is mainly done, but I kinda messed up on it so I have to make some alterations.

Crochet Critter

I found a great pattern and actually tried it before telling you all I was going to do it. Unfortunately the tunic didn't turn out so great, although in time I will take another shot at it. Well I have been working on more clutch purses. I also sewed a pink skirt purse just like my mom's. And I even went the extra mile to do decorative stitches on the handle. (pics below) I also found a great and easy pattern for crocheted slippers . They are adorable. The pattern was for Mary Jane slippers but I changed the way I made mine so they're ballerina slippers. The pattern didn't tell what size it was for. So the first pair I made was a pink pair for my sister because the part of the shoe where your toes go was a little tight. For my size I did 7 sc in the chain 1 space and I made the flap that comes over your foot 3 1/2 inches and the whole shoe was 8 1/2 inches. (this is the crochet language so if you don't crochet don't worry about it). I also made a larger pink pair for me and a black pair for my mom.

Crochet Critter #2

I was so pitiful last week. Usually my mom has to tell me to stop crocheting but all she did was ask me "When are you going to start on another project. I'm usually a crochet-aholic. I guess I just started to get down in the dumps when I realized I was really cutting it short with the teeny-tiny balls of yarn I had left. Luckily for Valentines Day my grandmother sent me some money. So today I get to go buy some more yarn for the tunic I have been wanting to work on. Also from my last post I made clutch purses here is a link to the instructions . Below are pictures of the things I have accomplished.

Crochet Critter

Lately I have really been spending all my time crocheting. I have only finished four projects so far but I'm working on my fifth. I have posted my projects below. The first project I started on was terrible. The pattern was cool but the instructions didn't seem like they were correct or maybe it's just me.

I am a little fustrated because after I finish this project I don't have enough yarn for another. So I will be on a crochet break for a while (sigh).

But enough chatting, take a look at my work below.
