Wonder Woman


Yes, I am a bit of a nerd. I love super hero strips and also the films. One of my favorites are Thor and Captain America, and thanks to Tom Hiddleston I have a tiny crush on Loki, but don't tell!

So a month ago I started my Wonder Woman amigarumi en today (after a few projects a side, like two challenges a babyshower present and a design from a drawing I made two years ago, still working on that one though) she is finally done! I am so proud! And this one is for me and no one else!



I absolutely adore this pattern and planning to make the other super hero's aswell!

She even got ears and earrings!


Look at her, standing tall looking like a super hero! I love her!

All year round challenge: F from Flamingo


>>>Click here for Dutch<<<

I have seen so much crocheted purses that I actually got sick of it, but when I saw this purse brace for 1 euro I had to try it at least one time.
In my challenge I am a bit behind so I went for a simple pattern.



Materials

  • Catania cotton in any color you like
  • Hook size (3mm)
  • Embroidery thread
  • Embroidery needle
  • Purse brace

Questions & Answers

Q: How to make a magic ring? 
A: Click here for the video. 

Q: How to decrease invicible? 
A: Put the hook through the front loop of the first 2 stitches and work your stitch like normal.

Stitches

Sc = single crochet
Slst = slipstitch
Sc2tog = 2 single crochet together

Pattern

Round 1: 8 sc in magic ring
Round 2: 2 sc in each st (16 st)
Round 3: 2 in 1th st, 1 in the next (24 st)
Round 4: 2 sc, * 2 in the next st, 3 in the next 3 st * repeat 7 times, 2 in next st, 1 sc (32 st)
Round 5: 2 in 1th st, 4 in the next (40 st)
Round 6:  2 sc, * 2 in the next st, 5 in the next 5 st * repeat 7 times, 2 in next st, 3 sc 48 st)
Round 7: 2 in 1th st, 6 in the next (56 st)
Round 8: 3 sc, * 2 in the next st, 7 in the next 7 st * repeat 7 times, 2 in next st, 3 sc (64 st)
Round 9: 2 in 1th st, 8 in the next (72 st)
Now it fits my brace, if yours is smaller or bigger increase or decrease a round or 2.


Round 10 - 28: 1 sc around (72 st)
Optional: join new color
Round 29: * 5 sc, sc2tog * repeat 10 times sc to end
Round 30: 1 sc around (62 st), stst, bind of, leave long tail.
Now sew one side on the brace and make sure you have equal amouth of stitches on both sizes of the brace (I had 7 on both sizes) and skip these and sew the other size on the brace



Now the magic comes in! We are going tot embroider in cross stitch a flamingo I have designed. Click here for an tutorial.
Always go from left to right.



I weaved a thread in so I had an idea on where to start.





When you have made a purse with this pattern please put a link to this blog when you publish it on social media. 
Please do not publish this pattern as your own, I have put a lot of work in writing and translating it.

Elephant baby graphgan


Okay, large projects are not my kind of juice. I have tried several times to make a graphgan or blanket but I have never finished one.

O no I did finish one for my niece her birthday! I am so proud of this one!


But for my own children I have started but never finished one.

UFO number 1 a ripple blanket for my oldest daughter. Nice and cozy for the winter but oops it's spring already!
You can find the free pattern here

UFO number 2 an avenger pixel graphgan for my sons avenger room, oh well I have just finished a pixel wall painting so he is satisfied for now 😉
You can find the pixels chards here




Pixel wall painting

And, stupid me, for my challenge I had desided to make a graphgan in corner to corner style, yes this one could really work and yes I will finish this one for sure... Well in my dreams maybe because I have started this graphgan in februari and in april it's still not finished and baptised in UFO number 3.


So for the letter E I have made a quick baby toy and the graphgan lies in a bag in the 'still have to finish' corner.

So I have desided to share my pixel pattern with you guys and hope someone is more consistent as I am and will finish it!



So have fun with it and please let me know when you did finished this cute design!
