Crochet Fails
Cleaning out my yarn I came across quite a few of my crochet fails.
Someone may find these humorous, or maybe even inspirational. 😅
Pony Bead Belt was an epic FAIL. Similar to what I was going for, but just no. Maybe for bellydance, or a costume of some sort. 🤔 But this one I may have dared to wear once since 2010.
Basically a very FAILED project.
Santa Hat 2010
Another not so much a fail, as just kind of funny to see the progression of my crochet, and patterns.
Old vs New Water Bottle Tote 😅
I kind of like the first one, but not so much the strap. The second one has the first blown away with the awesome strap. It is my go to strap pattern. ;)The first water bottle holder can not be counted as a fail for the fact that I used it for a few years. I strived for many years to make a better water bottle pattern, with many fails. The second Water Bottle Tote pattern definitely did not fail, and I have made many, including the pattern for sale on Etsy.
Recently, I added my free Chunky Scarf pattern on the blog, which was where I began using pony beads with crochet.
Back then, for many years I had wanted to add bead work to my crochet, but all the bead holes were too tiny for the yarn or tapestry needles, accept for pony beads, which at the time, did not have quite the look that I was after.
Later they come out with some metallic and clear pony beads that I had found later, and they were acceptable for my use, so I tried them. Other than a few projects to experiment, like the belt, I have not used them much. I did use them on my Chunky Scarves. (Click Here to find the free Chunky Scarf pattern on my blog.)
Crocheting with Pony Beads
Pony beads work great with crochet, for the large holes that yarn easily feeds thru.
Free Crochet Tiny Star Pattern
We are trying some of our tiny stars as earrings, though I think a good stiffening would be great for these.
Star Chart
Crochet Star Chart, a galaxy of crochet STAR possibilities.
One crochet pattern with so many possibilities for crochet stars, starting with different sizes, different shapes to choose from, and endless possible uses for this 12 in 1 Crochet Star Chart Pattern.Named for the fact that the pattern gives you a basic size chart for 12+ star patterns, to use for countless things. The pattern is charted with a general sizes for various hook sizes, for each different star shape, and a multitude of sizes for basic star. Chart graphs hook sizes from F, and some H, I, & K hooks, all using worsted weight yarn.
Crochet Star Chart Pattern comes with a pictorial for basic small star, along with a picture of each star with its written pattern. Written in US crochet terms.
Choose from the Basic Star in many sizes and slightly different shapes, Happy Star :) in 2 sizes, Blanket Star also in multiple sizes and slightly different shapes, 8 Point Sun Star, or 8 Point Starburst with variations. The skies the limit ✰
The theme is 'Galaxy Star, Star Chart' but all stars could be multipurpose, made in a variety of colors, for Christmas STARS, to make Christmas ornaments, or for patches, for clothing and bags, year round. Add Patriotic stars to crochet flags, and so much more. Stars are always in Season.
The story behind the Star Chart...
One day my daughter says to me, "A Star Patch would be awesome, Mom.", and I think that is a fantastic idea! A few weeks later, she sadly tore her favorite pj pants, so I say to her, "A Star Patch would fix that right up. 😁", and my sweet girl loves the idea.
One would presume that having made an uncountable number of crochet stars, at least 2K, over years, and making patterns for stars, that I have to have some idea by now of how to make a star. 😅 Since my daughter absolutely loves stars, I wanted this star to be the perfect star for her, but I wasn't sure which one to make. And that is the moment the Star Chart was born. Pick a star, any star. So many to choose from.
Using what I could dig up, I painted the back drop that night, and it also became the night that I finally found myself painting something. (yay!😅) The Celestial theme carries throughout this pattern, 🌠 for Liz 💜
What a starry eyed journey it has been, very out of this world.
Thank you for stopping by.
Best wishes, and happy crocheting!
