Project Round-up: January to March 2015

4/14/2015

3 Comments

 
It turns out there is one, huge advantage to a winter in which it continuously precipitates snot and rain: you get A LOT of making time. It's possible the only advantage - it hasn't been an easy few months and I am absolutely ready for spring - but still. Crocheting in bed with a poorly toddler watching My Neighbour Totoro next to me? I can do that. 

So without further ado, here's what I've been churning out over the last few months.

Pasta & Patchwork Winter 2014-15 Project Round-up: Fairisle-inpspired Crochet Shrug
1. Fairisle Crochet Shrug - Though I might have already mentioned just a few times that my first run-in with crochet colourwork involved a fair amount of swearing, in the end I was very happy with the motif as well as the colours.

Pasta & Patchwork Winter 2014-15 Project Round-up: Men's Striped Crochet Beanie (inspiration only)
2. Men's Striped Crochet Scarf & Beanie - After seeing me make wintry woollies for both my mother and toddler, Mr P&P was understandably feeling a bit left out. The solution? A crochet scarf, for which you can find the free pattern here. I then made a beanie with the same striped motif. I'd love to be able to share the pattern with you, but unfortunately I haven't been able to obtain permission from the designer of the scarf to use their motif. 
Pasta & Patchwork Winter 2014-15 Project Round-up: DIY Toddler Dinosaur Headband (link to tutorial in post)
3. DIY Dinosaur Headband - Talking of headwear, at 8PM one February evening I realised the next day the Bean would need to go into nursery dressed up for carnival. Pinterest came to my rescue, however, and the next morning we had a cute little dinosaur in pyjamas. There is a tutorial for a paper version here (I decided cardboard would have a better chance of survival in our case...).
Pasta & Patchwork Winter 2014-15 Project Round-up: Asymmetric Toddler Vest - link to free pattern in post
4. Asymmetric Toddler Vest - More winter woolly goodness in the form of this crochet vest, for which you can find my free pattern here. 
Pasta & Patchwork Winter 2014-15 Project Round-up: DIY DSLR Camera Cosy (link to instructions in post)
5. DIY DSLR Camera Cosy - For the first time in a while I got my needle and thread out to make this cosy for my new toy. It's dead easy, the tutorial shows you how. 
Pasta & Patchwork Winter 2014-15 Project Round-up: Granny Poncho with Bobble Edge (link to bobble edge tutorial in post)
6. Granny Poncho with Bobble Edge - Not wanting be left out of the Simply Crochet poncho craze, I finally made something for myself. The poncho pattern is available to buy from Ravelry, while the bobble edge is my own addition. My tutorial shows you how to do the bobbles, which would look great on a granny blanket too.

7. Crochet Granny Squares - Finally, there was more granny love for the "Crochet Meets Patchwork" blanket in the form of two new, free patterns: "Ribbed Cross" on the left and "Lily Pad" on the right.

What lovely projects. Although I can knit I never learned how to crochet. I wish I had now, your designs are so pretty
