Yeay! My Etsy shop for KookiezNL is open for business!
In this shop you can find my crochet and sewing creations. At this moment 8 scarfs are available (really chunky soft scarfs) and a lot of pillow covers which can be bought in a set or as an individual cover.
I hope you stop by soon! Enjoy your shopping :)

Hexagons

This is another one of my work in projects. The yarn combination in a hexagon shape creates a nice retro look. The hexagons are not finished yet as you can see by all the loose threads. The pattern is nr 30 from "Beyond the Square Crochet Motifs" by Edie Eckman.

Now I am at the stage that I am not sure how to continue with this project. Create more hexagons to create a complete blanket? Turn it into a pillow cover? Or create a smaller circle shaped blanket? Or....? Any other ideas?

A long while ago I bought the book of Edie Eckman, Around the Corner Crochet Borders. Seeing all these lovely borders made me just want to add a border to a blanket. And so I did. I chose nr 20 on pages 64 & 65, and added it to the blanket already blogged about here. And here´s the result.

Flowers

As there is hardly any sunshine in the Netherlands over the past couple of weeks, we need to create some sunshine ourselves. And what´s a better way to do this than by creating some crocheted flowers. Unfortunately I haven´t saved the pattern description to my favourites, so I can´t share the original source where I got his idea. So I googled, and this description shows the instructions on how to crochet such a flower. Enjoy!

A perfect combination

Two of my favourite topics combined: Crochet and Pillow covers.
The initial thought was to create a scarf based on this pattern and yarn. Soon I discovered that the scarf would become rather wide and I didn´t have enough yarn to make it long enough. My plan B of the pillow cover turned out quite nicely. Here´s the "scarf " and pattern in more detail.

The inner pillow cover is a shiny silk fabric, that matches with the yarn.

My new BFF - welcome to the family

So then I traded in my good old Janome for a nice new upgrade. My new BFF Pfaff Ambition 1.5.
Welcome to the family! This is such an awesome machine!

Although I bought the machine a couple of days ago, I am still flabbergasted by what this machine can do.
It has:
* Almost 200 stitches
* 4 alphabets (wow)
* Automatic tool to put the thread through the needle
* Cruise control......
Yes it has cruise control and it is even better then in my car. I don´t have to push the foot pedal anymore if I don´t want to. What a breeze.

So congratulations to myself. I am more then happy that I treated myself to this new upgrade.

And it has its own video as well... Need I say more? :D

Hawaiian flowers

I recently rediscovered the blog of Sarah London. In one word it is Awesome. It is such a colourful blog with lots of inspiration for new crochet projects, sewing and other DIY. On her blog I immediately fell in love with her Hawaiian flower blanket and tutorial.  As I still have lots of different colours of yarn I could start with my own attempt of this lovely pattern.

The description of Sarah is very detailed and easy to follow. Here's my progress of the first six flowers. Lot's more to come!
