Hello everybody,
Last Saturday night I started packing, we are moving again to another City. My first to gather were my stash of course, ahehehe, I got this Yarn first attitude! Oh, oh...I realized as the years went by I formed a mountain of junks to hubby's eyes. I just tell him to close his eyes, hahaha!
Hmm, not easy to pack things agaib and again, I got tired. While I was sitting down, I was thinking what will I make with the left over, frogged, topsy turvy cotton thread. Then, boom! Got an idea!
Reviewed my cellphone gallery and looked for motifs, found it. Grabed the crochet steel hook and the cottons, after 3 attempts of copying which I failed, a beautiful 4 petal flower was born, my version. Combining the thin 3 ply twisted mercerized cotton and the thick 4 ply indophil acrylic using the same imia brand steel hook no. 2 or some call it "HAMAK" na hook (cheapest hook) in the Philippines.
Then, here's the first line of squares formed by joining as I go.
For my breast upper part.
Showing you the before they were a squares...
See! But, with my experienced and with my patience, I turned them into a crochetiful item.
Here's the motif inspiration that I copied which showed up in my fb feed. When the motif is unique and colorful I save it right away.
The materials I use some scraps of cotton mercerized and the edging black colorway is soft indophil 4 ply acrylic not twisted which is difficult to crochet in my experienced,you must always pull tight the 4 ply of yarn and use the right hook bigger size.
The pattern using 2mm hook
Round(Rnd)1: With cotton scraps, in a ring or magic ring, Chain(ch) 2, 8 Half Double Crochet(hdc) pull center thread to close the ring, Slip Stitch(sl st) into 1st hdc, down with scraps, pull new color. (8 hdc)

Last week, my new guitar made of jackfruit was delivered. Thankful much because I now have my own guitar, I will not borrow anymore. I practiced for just an hour every night before I sleep, whoa my tip fingers was painful because I got hold of a guitar was 3 yrs ago, so, must practice the chords again in transferring my fingers to every chords. Then, last night, I tried making a finger tip protector, just a try what will be the sound.
Till next post guys, I will tell you the result of my experiment.
