Granny Square Bolero WIP

  I've started a new crochet project! It will be a granny square bolero. Or shrug, as you want... Since I've received  as a giveaway prize a beautiful merino yarn  from Avery Homestore I was constantly thinking how to use this lovely soft yarn. One  day I saw one nice shrug in DROPS Design and I realized what I need!
So I have three squares so far in 9 rounds.

And each of lovely squares separately...

The colors are beautiful, isn't it? I like them combination! I should make 5 more squares. And I am thinking I have not enough yarn to join the squares. Probably I will order at the same store a few balls in Cornish color. As well as some new colors, yes... I'm yarnoholic, as some of you! By the way the yarn is so soft, nice and delicate! I love it!

Take care of each other!  

With Love

Memory Wire Bracelets

Millefiori glass heart and oval beads,  black acrylic round beads, black glass seed beads, Tibetian silver "Made with Love" heart pendant.

Today I and my sister Inga made our first memory wire bracelets. Oooooh... it was so exciting and very very interesting to make them. It was not easy to stop making... Each of us made two bracelets:

Millefiori glass oval beads, black acrylic round beads, and black, and red glass seed beads.

And the next two made my sister:

Light blue acrylic round beads, light blue plastic piece beads, black acrylic round beads, black seed beads, Tibetian silver "Made with Love" heart pendant.

Black acrylic round beads, black seed beads, and acrylic round beads in pearl color.

We have used different beads from my stash as well as new Millefiori glass floral beads and acrylic beads. Also Tibetian silver heart pendants.
The most difficult thing was to bend the ends of the wire to make beautiful little rings. And I very liked the result! The next should be bracelets for my daughters.

*****
Edited next day:
I was unable to stop and made two bracelets yesterday night and one in the morning:

Millefiori glass heart and oval beads, cobalt blue Cat's eye glass round beads, blue glass seed beads.

Clear glass piece beads, clear glass round beads, Tibetian silver Flower Elephant pendant.

Silver color Acrylic round beads, clear glass seed beads, and black acrylic round beads.

Making these bracelets is easier than making pictures of them. Exactly!

With love

Have a sunny day!

My Dayghter. My Yarn.

Simple Square Blanket

  Yes, the blanket is finished a while ago as well as a couple of other projects. You know now is the summer holidays and my kids are at home... so I have not enough free time to write here...
And my blanket is not mine... I made it for my youngest son. He himself chose the colors from James C.Brett Top Value DK Acrylic yarn .

The size is 125*145cm. 

The as-you-go joining method I've used.

A 4.5mm hook.

For the edging I made 1 round  of  3dc and 2dc clusters one by one, then 2 rounds in sc(one in black, one in white) and then 1 round in dc.
  Now I'm working with one summer shrug and just started another one warm granny stripe shrug with long sleeves.

I hope I'll see you soon here...

Have a wonderful week!
