Crochet Cable Beret


 
I've already made several berets of this pattern;)
It looks complicated, but it's not so difficult once you get going. 
This lovely pattern is from the book below; Crochet Best Selection

Baby Booties


I tried to crochet booties several times following patterns, but I always struggled making them. Finally I completed that ;) 

Mandala


I crocheted Mandala using colourful yarn leftovers.
I enjoyed thinking combination of colours.
I followed the pattern from Barbara's website:

Baby Shawl


I made a baby shawl at a lady's request. I used 3 ply yarns and blanket stitch. It's very simple. Work in multiples of 3, and just repeat (skip 2ch, 1dc and 2tr in the same chain space). I referred this stitch from Rachel's website here.

Moko-Moko-Fat-Bag


'Moko-moko′ means soft and fluffy in Japanese.
Pattern is the same as a fat bag.
A different yarn creates a different image.

My teapot is small, but it's for medium size, I guess.
I followed a free pattern below;

A Fat Bag

 
I crocheted a bag with the yarn I dyed using turmeric spice. 
I think this is the one I want to do.
I mean, I want to make something painstakeingly piece by piece from the beginning.
It requires time and effort, but it gives more uniqueness and distinctiveness.
 
 
I got this yarn at a bargain price at a charity shop!
I had thought to dye this yarn from the beginning because it was boring white.
When one door shuts another opens.
This is a sort of my grandmother's way.
She created many wonderful things from leftovers and junk boxes.
 
I dyed the cotton yarn using turmeric spice and washing soda.
It gives uneven yellow and orange.
Allocation? By guess.
 

I wanted to make a fat bag and googled a free pattern of it. I referenced Bend Beanies's blog. It shows how to make it step by step. It's easy to understand. The making process is simple and looks more effective than the effort. I attached a liner as well. I don't have a sewing machine at the moment, but it doesn't require a sewing machine. That's why I could make it fast. I used ring handles instead of making. I am very satisfied with it.

Mat


This yarn is a bit heavy, so I thought a mat is ideal.
I used 2 boodles' yarns. It's all half treble crochet.
