A few months ago we made papier-mache balloons with the kids: https://neridacraft.com/2020/07/02/papier-mache-balloons That time I decided that I will crochet balloons... and I finished them today! I made 6 finally, all using the same pattern (see below), but with slight changes and different colours to make them attractive.๐ I saw similar hot air balloons on… Continue reading Hot air balloons in the clouds

Chenille gnomes
As promised in my previous post about christmas gomes, let me share here my gnomeโs pattern. https://neridacraft.com/2020/12/22/christmas-gnomes/ As I wanted to make a bigger one than those I made in the above collection, I used a thicker yarn, and a 4,5 mm crochet hook.

Rings bracelet
Last year I saw beautiful crocheted jewelleries in a market where you could buy handmade products. Those I liked the best were bracelets made by rings crocheted around. They are easy to make, and with this technique many different designs can be made by varying the colors, the number of the rings, or their size.… Continue reading Rings bracelet
