rose brooch

Hello friends! It’s been a while since I wrote last time. To tell the truth I found it hard to have two blogs to write to, but I don’t want to quit this one. So soon you’ll have a pile of posts here. And if you want to follow my news you can at least have a look at pictures in my Russian blog. I also post to my Facebook page, and have Flickr and Tumblr accounts only to show my creations.

Not a long time ago I found that brooch is quite a nice piece of jewelry and very convenient for decorating a coat or jacket or other outer clothing. For that I made some crochet roses. Leaved one for myself (it goes so good for my gray coats) presented rest as gifts.

My rose tutorial you can find here.

Another photo of necklace parts that I going to compose soon.

crochet necklaces

Hello friends! today I want to share with you the couple of my recent necklaces. Wanted to try new colors this time - pink and grey. Realized I love peach pink with beige color so much. It gives the necklace such a tender look. Grey one also with beige and wooden beads make altogether a nature look, I think it's going to fit to clothes made of linen or wool.  To make these necklaces I used 100% mercerized cotton, wooden and plastic beads, fake pearls.

Crochet rose tutorial

My previous post was about a rose crochet necklace I made. When I showed it in a Russian livejournal society ru_knitting, some people asked a question about how exactly I had made those roses.  Though I haven’t invented that scheme, I made my version “How to crochet a rose”

My recently made crochet necklace. I did this kind of necklace before and gave it as a gift to my friend. But I think the design of necklace is quite successful, so I wanted to repeat it. 100% mercerized cotton, pink color that I really love, and gorgeous green. I really enjoyed making it.

crochet scarf

This crochet scarf I made for my friend. Design in my head was a bit different, but yarn changed a lot, as usual for me. It is 100% mercerized cotton. I also made a little rose brooch to fix the scarf on desirable length.

roses

Roses are very beautiful flowers, that's obvious. But when I see them they beauty amaze me again and again, though I'm not such a fun of them. Recently we've been to a very nice place with a small rose garden. Can you imagine the smell of dozens of rose bushes?

couldn't help having that beautiful background for my necklace 

Three last weeks I spent in a village, quite away from a proper Internet connection, but it wasn't waste of time, I made some crochet things - flowers as usual, collars, scarf. That was nice time with fresh air and greenery around.
