As you could read in my blog the other week, I started making little dresses.

They are quite a handful, but the results are great!

Here a few other dresses I made last year:

For the dress I used tricot fabric, and again, my Mom did the sewing...

The back of the dress:

And a detailed picture:

 

The dress which follows, I already sold..*smile*...

Details from back and front:

I have to admit, crocheting the top of these dresses is a lot of work.

I had to start over and over again, looking at samples I had from other (shop-bought) dresses, and hoping the end-results are to my liking...

And yes, I am very happy with the results, but at the moment I don't have the courage to start on a new dress...

I forgot one picture, a detailed photo of the skirt, so you can see the pattern and also the great colours!

After a very busy period, without any crochet at all, I'm getting motivated more and more!

 

For our Little Lady I wanted to make a nice dress, and I started, without a pattern.

I used a mixed yarn, 100% cotton, and started with the top:

 

 

I have to say that the sewing is not my work, but my Mom's, thank you, Mom!

It took a lot of time and patience to figure out how to create this, and also start over and over again...

 

Only a top, and I like sets, so I started with a skirt, very easy, just increase the total of stitches in every row.

The result:

 

 

The end-result:

 

 

I Love It!

The colours, the pattern, it all worked out! 

 

I am so sorry I don't have any patterns for you, I could try in Dutch, but to explain this in English would be quite difficult for me.

If you would really want to have a pattern, email me, and I try in my best English...

 

Have a nice weekend!

Spring is in the air!

Well, not here at the moment, because it's still snowing outside, but I'm making sure our house is in Spring Mood!

 

Because of Easter, I chose soft colours, combined with yellow, and this is the result:

 

 

 

For the two round vases, I used a pattern of Lucy, from Attic24.

I have to confess, I love Lucy and her beautiful crochet patterns!

 

The pattern is easy to make, and you can chose all the colours you like.

The vases are from Ikea :).

 

 

 

 

 

The following is my favourite, because I love roses...

 

 

 

 

Only 2,5 weeks til Easter, I can't wait!

Have a nice day!

Oh my, I have been neglecting this blog a bit...

And I have to confess, I have been neglecting my crochet a bit...

 

For now I have to show you some pictures of a baby comforter (here is a small problem, Google Translate is not giving me the correct word for this....):

 

 

A blue one for a little baby boy, and of course a pink one for a baby girl!

 

 

They are very easy to make, and look so lovely!

I have a description how to make it, but sadly, it is in Dutch...

 

Next time I show some pictures of the little dresses I am working on!

Hi everybody,

 

It has been a while, but we have had a lovely holiday in Scotland, the Highlands!

We have been driving every day, and the wee one (21 months) loved the country, and especially the food (toast and cereal).

 

It has been a busy time, so I didn't have time for my crochet...

 

Here a few pictures from some more baby hats I made:

 

After the pictures of the first baby hats (see my first blog), I got some requests for other baby hats.

The first two are made for two sisters, the first one is a hat for a girl about 3 years old, the second for a girl of 1.

 

 

I made them with coton yarn, here in The Netherland we love to use coton for little ones.

 

This hat followed very quickly after:

 

 

A little hat for a newborn!

This is also made from coton.

 

I almost never use a pattern, I try and try and see if I like it ;).

 

Got to go now, I still have a lot of ironing to do after the holiday.

Bye for now!

So, this will be my new blog, and now in English...

Since a few months I have my own blog, freubelheukske.blogspot.com, but in Dutch, and I noticed that there are a lot of people visiting my website, who don't speak Dutch, so I decided to make a new blog, in English.

First of all, excuse my bad English..

Me learning how to crochet, it all started almost 2 years ago...
One of our foster children was going home to her parents (that is always good news!), and I had a lot of freetime left...
What to do with this?
I know how to knit (and quite good), but wasn't in the least interested in knitting anything, so I started to google in how to crochet.

After a few nice youtube-movies, I decided to start with a closed granny square blanket (yes, I know now, that could take a while).

Here is how far I am now:

When I'm finished, it should be around 1.40 by 2.00 meters... at this point 2/3 is done...

 

These are my favourite colours, and it is easy to crochet, but it takes a while... especially for a beginner..

Some months ago I decided to put this blanket aside (but not forget it!), and start something else...

This was the result:

I started with the pink one, then the purple, and at last the green one.

 

And the best part is: this is not the last of it!

In my next blog I show you my other creations!

Have a nice day!
