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.

Jeah! Moving complited

Ok, so this week I finally unpacked the last moving boxes. That took about three weeks so I'm quite proud of myself :D

Hopefully now I get some crafting done. Here is something at least from my new bedroom. I have always wanted to put text on walls and in this apartment I'm going to do so.

I love the phrase "Keep calm and...." so here's my version :)

I took the pic at day time, but it's something like that at the evening. I cut the letters from interior magazine pages that had no text or as little as possible. Heres another pic with flash.

Monsters!

Hello! I just moved to a new apartment less than two weeks ago and all my stuff are still in a big pile. I have less cupboard space so my craft thingies are just in boxes over boxes. Hopefully I make some sense to it soon.

However I bought this book to be my new ideabook. I normally just scrible in the edge of any paper on the table so this might be a good thing XD

All the monsters that have stich-on-pants are terrified :D Maybe that tells me that only few ideas are actually good. Like the little green smiling one seems to agree ^^

Here's some other cute monsters, just click the pic to go!

Some crochet ones

One cute little toothfairy monster called Miss Petunia (love it!)

These are born to be classics!

And finally a link to how to make your own baby monsters!

The final winter knit

So here's the final knit work of the winter. Maybe I should do something spring themed so I could persuade the winter to retreat after these long months :D

The wooly cap was inspired by a bag that I got from my friend. And also I had chance to use some left over yarns to it.
I made it long so I could turn it a bit twofold for my cold fearing ears :D

Another woolcap and scarf

Winter is nearly over here. Snowpiles are melting fast and you just might buds of a leaf in the trees beginning to grow. So soon there is no need for wooly accessories but i began this scarf at last fall and it was my neverending project thourgh winter. And now, hurray! It's finally done and of course it needed a matching hat.

The scarf is knitted in 1. row:1 knit 1 purl and 2. row knit all. The pattern has its own name, but i don't know how to translate it to english (in finnish: kohoneule). I used about 300 grams of yarn to this scarf and it it about 2 meters long.

And the hat is knitted in twisted style: purl 1 knit 4, repeat row. Then move the purl one stitch forward. Here's the instruction found through Raverly.

Felt brooches

Hello! I'm totally bad at blogging these days. My only excuse is that I have started my final thesis project at school and need to finish it at this spring. But I will try to balance my life between school and crafts and be more active at blogland :)

So these brooches are made of felt. One of my favorite materials ever :D they have simple safety pin fastening because I don't want to use actual brooch bases to these sort of accessories. I sewed a piece of felt behind the booch and but the pin through it.

Little owl ^^ I love owl's so much!

And little round thingy with button :)
