crochet projects in the works

welcome!

have you worked hard on your creative projects the last few days?

i’ve done quite a lot in terms of crocheting. i have a cowl and a scarf almost finished, only the yarn ends needs to weave in and the buttons sewn on.

i also tested a few stitch patterns, but as usual most of them i did not like, i mean the result of the pattern in combination with the yarn i work with.

here are two of them (see my pinterest board for links to more stitch patterns):

then i found another and with a minor modification i was happy with the look of it. since a few years i have a large pile of inexpensive acrylic yarn in my closet, i like to make something pretty of it. not sure exactly what yet, i have many other projects that are unfinished, like a few bags.

UPDATE: sorry i forgot to post this link to the stitch pattern. it is a diagram for a ‘stole with sleeves’ by gosyo. i have left out the picots to get this plain effect and i work with double theads.

in the meantime, i am still working on the small bowls because i have something in mind i like to make for christmas. i want to combine the mini bowls with a few things from last year and some beautiful cardboard tags.
