More new crochet projects: shoes and bag

Posted by: Fats in: Needleworks > Edward's CnC

The Japanese crochet magazines are more useful than I have imagined. Although I couldn’t read the texts, the pattern diagrams have provided me with a great deal of inspired new ideas. In fact, now I am thinking of making the patterns of my own crochet projects available through diagrams rather than written instructions.

Anyway, the other day I managed to finish the multi-colored bag that I was making using scrap yarn. Below is a photo of the bag. It has a small inside pocket and an outside pocket decorated with beads.

Right now I am trying to finish the right shoe for a new pair that I decided to make several days ago following the tiny pair I made for my nephew. Below is a photo of my crocheted shoe. :)

In the meantime, the crocheted blouse that I’ve been making for several weeks now is on hold - but should continue when I’m done with the shoes. I have also decided to make the blouse into a full crocheted dress! ;) That was the original challenge anyhow, to see if I have enough patience to crochet an entire dress. ;)

And finally, with all these distractions, I managed to finish the first draft of a text about the newly approved international standard, MSOOXML. I’ve posted the text over at Korakora Proyekto - and welcome comments, questions, corrections.

    shoe fan in me loves the shoe. looks like those worn by the chinese dowagers with bound feet.

    but as this shoe wasn’t for deformed “Golden Lotus” feet, i’m sure the old ladies would snub it and say it was for a Mongolian peasant.

    hmmm. maybe you can embrace the hypothetical snub, and make another pair fully embellished with turquoises and silver beads with bells in them? ;-)
