My first attempt... with such a good result!!!!

I've been working in an attempt of blanket that resulted in a nice craft... It's the first time I did something like this, but with some motherly advice I ended up doing better than I expected! There's another project in progress that helped me keep motivated (it will show up shortly, hopefully...).

This is the result, I did it in two colors, white and grey and used cotton yarn:

I'm looking forward to starting something else now!!!!!

More baskets

After my first experience with the white basket I made as a gift I kept on working...

I made another one in two colos, two shades of grey, and used it to keep the yarn:

But then I kind of improved the technique, always with the help from Attic 24. She has some patterns to crochet flowers and, although I don't think mines are as nice as hers at least they looked like flowers, so I decided to decorate my new green basket with them.

These are some pictures of the crochet flowers. They are not as nice as the ones in Attic24 (she's a master of crochet and I'm just starting...). But the truth is that her tutorials are so easy to follow, even if you don't know the different names of the stitches! 

So here's the result, in different color combinations:

shortcrust pastry biscuits

This is recycling! Recently I made a cake with shortcrust pastry and I used the leftovers to make some buiscuits. They were as easy to make as good!

Eccole qua!

More winter... or spring already?

More winter... cold, snow, fog...

 

 ... or is it spring already?

A gift

Yes, I know... Some people sy white is not a colour... But I made this as a gift and as I don't know what it will be used for, I decided to crochet it in white (so simple, so clean, so pure...).

I can think of many uses for this basket... Work in progress...

Some knitting

This is my first knitting project! It's avery soft neck warmer. I made it for my sister and she loved it! The truth is that it was easier than I thought, so I hope I can think of more things to knit shortly!
