Thor and his Mjölnir and Loki

Again for friend. This time to give to her friends :D  Sanna does my wool socks and I do crocheting for her. I was meant to teach her how to do these, but the patterns were not very beginner friendly.


Thor with his hammer and helmet. I did not have the time to starch the helmet, but luckily it stays in shape quite well. It was posted to UK for Christmas.


Loreal....because you're worth it! :D Thor became quite a princess.
And the pattern is from here.


Loki is travelling to UK in January so I had the chance to starch his helmet. And it was a must because of the horns.


Now he doesn't look that mean does he? I am going to make a staff to him also.
The pattern is in here.

Nesting for winter

I had some idle time and I have been eyeing my little white birdcage for a while. It was cute when I bought it but needed some touch up. Last weekend I was given a little book about felting and crocheting.  I haven't done any felting works really so first I will look at it as an inspiration.

It had an instruction to do a small felt nest/tent and a bird. We have a word here in Finland "Lintukoto" if I translate it it means bird home but it doesn't really mean actually that. It means a place that is small, cozy and safe place. A sort of happy place.

We are starting to have snow in here and woolly, cozy place would be nice. So here it is...in very small size :D The nest is just first try and it is hanging just with small bow. And I stitched the carpet all around to the mesh floor. The bird cage is about 12 centimeters in diameter.

Gifts for friend!

Hello again!

My darling friend turned 25 almost two months ago. We didn't see each other until the beginning of this month and I was able to give these presents to her. I can't take credit from these in any case. All of them are lovely ideas I found from the internet. She had asked earlier this year if I could make some crochet Ood's to her and so I did. This is the idea my friend send to me.


 And here are some cute jewelry I thought she might like. The idea came from here.

 This idea came from here. I actually saw this a long time ago and the thought stick with me, but I didn't look up to it until I had done my version of it :D So my solutions are a bit different XD Any whooo it works...kind of.


She seemed to be pleased, but I gave her full and utter permission to ditch them to trash if they were rubbish. I had fun at least :)

Happy December!

Hello readers!

This year I'm going to present a deacoration idea or something from my home related to christmas at every day until 25th of December. You could think it as some kind of advent calender :)

So here are crochet snoflakes and christmas flowers that I made to decorate the tree later. They are made out of thin cotton yarn and they are about 6 cm wide.

The tutorial for these you can find from here.

And the snoflakes are from here.

Both of the ornaments were pinned to board and sprayd with spray lacquer to make them stiff. I don't yet have fabric stiffener but I really shoul get some :)

Little crochet tablecloth

So, somewhile ago I bought this table from IKEA. I knew that I was going to paint it mat black, because my bed is mat black and it was going to be my new bedsidetable. And because the table is made from metal, I needed a tablecloth to it. I haven't found suitable yet from store so I crochetted one.


Here is also another DIY version of IKEA table that I find quite nice.

Here is also few pumpkins that I made earlier. Few more and I should end up with some sort of door decoration before christmas. Guide for the pumpkins is found here with whole lot of other fun patterns :)

A birthday present to my friend

One of my friends is a huuuuuuge Dr. Who fan so I made this Tardis inspired pouch to her new phone. Made out of merino wool, felt lining and button closing.

Russian doll/ Matryoshka

Nowdays I seem to be very fond of matryoshkas. So I did little googling and found this pattern, thank you very much Rebecca!

I left out two rows from neck and one (if I remember correctly) from the head. And added one back loop row three rows after the first one. I was going to add more, but forgot :D I was watching James Bond, From Russia With Love during the time (quite suited for the theme XD) Then face from felt and scarf decorations from two ribbons and apron from rosefabric. The doll is about 20 cm high.


I chose the colours because they were close to one we had at home (still is at my mothers) It doesn't have all it parts anymore and the biggest has a huge crack on it, but maybe it will have a new life someday. The doll is like the one in this pick at topleft corner. Pick from here.

Wrist warmers

I'm a person who has cold hands way too often. So I like wrist/hand warmers. Here's a pair that have a lacy look. I'm going to make a second pair with more sleeve.

I'm a huge steampunk fan, but I don't really know how to show it in everyday life. Maybe these are suitable for that mission :D

Lämmikettä

Nyt valmistui Emma akryylilangasta neulottu pipo ja virkattu huivi. Pipon ja sen koristeiden ohjeet löytyvät Puikoissa-kirjasta. Huivi on tehty salomonin solmuilla ja huivia varten selasin useita eri malleja. En tiedä lisäänkö vielä muutaman ruusun pipoon, mutta mennään nyt aluksi kolmella :D

Muffinsimaniaa

Halusin söpöstellä ihan väkisin, joten virkkasin pienen muffinsikoristeisen pussukan, neuloin pehmomuffinsin sekä jokin aika sitten massaillessani nukkiskamaa tein muun mussa tuon pienen massamuffinsin, josta tulee kaulakoru.


Ohje tuohon neulottuun muffinsiin löytyy täältä. Sivusto vaatii rekisteröitymisen, mutta on ilmainen ja sieltä löytyy paljon ohjeita.

Kukkapipo

Nyt kyllä tuli kauhia repsahdus tämän blogin päivittämiseen :) Kaikkea on tekeillä, mutta aloitetut työt kummittelevat kaapin perällä ja hamuavat jatkoa.

Jotain on kuitenkin tullut tehtyä. Sain itselleni aikaiseksi pipon ja siihen suuren kukan koristeeksi. Malli täältä ja kukan ohje kirjasta Virkkauksen ilo, Frida Pontén.


Lankana on Novitan Fiesta, jonka pinkki versio loppui valitettavasti kesken, sillä yhteenkuuluva kaulaliina on siitä tulossa. Eli jatkoa seuraa!

Äidille synttärilahjoja

Tänä vuonna äiti mainitsi joululahjatoiveiksi uusia pannulappuja ja neulatyynyn. No jouluksi keksin jotain muuta kylläkin, mutta näin synttärilahjaksi virkkasin kaksi pannulappua ja neulatyynyn. Lisäksi kyllä ostinkin tavaraa, mutta nehän nyt eivät tänne kuulu :D

Pipoa pukkasi kaverille


Tällä viikolla oli hyvän ystävän syntymäpäivä ja hänelle virkkasin pipon. Malli on Novitan sivuilta täältä, tosin ei tarkasti, koska joissain kohdissa ei minun mielestäni vain ollut järkeä. Lankana Novita Fiesta ja puikko nro 6.

Siitä tuli ihana! Ja näytti uuden omistajansa päässä hyvin suloiselta ^^ voipi olla että itsellekin virkkaan samalla mallilla.

Rakastan animea ja mangaa yli kaiken!


Ja lempi elokuviani on Totoro, sillä se tuo aina hyvän mielen. Erityisesti pienin metsänhenki on über suloinen! Joten virkkasin sen. Siitä tuli noin 2 cm korkea ja liitin sen päähän sellaisen mustan kännykkäkorunarulenkin. Silmät leikkaisn paperista, lakkasin ja liimasin paikoilleen.

Kesän tullen kukkia tein

Tahdoin virkata asusteiksi kukkasia ja etsin sopivaa ohjetta netistä. Löysinkin, kuten kuvasta näkyy, mutta olenko sittemmin sen linkin hukannut...totta kai. Hyvin tavanomaista minulle. Siivoan kirjanmerkit huolimattomasti. Jos joku tunnistaa tavan niin hihkaiskaa. Tästä meni osa yhdelle ystävälle. Muutama omaan käyttöön, ja loput varastoon.

Aina pussaten virkkauksias tee


Tämä kolikkokukkaro sai alkunsa täältä. Ja tässä on minun tulkintani. Vetskari uupuu ja tahdon vihreän rusetin takatukkaan ettei takaraivo ole tylsän oranssi. Hieman isompi kuin alkuperäinen, sillä tällä kokoa on 13,5 cm x 10 cm
