I started with my wool, lovely red and yellow, orange wool. What should I make of it? Well a little thinking... yes coasters! The color of the wool fits in the interior color, the bank, the wall color, so a started with new coasters. Only one is finisht yet.. more to come.
The coasters are also lovely as a gift! a home made gift.

I also started with a black crochet bag, just a simple bag, maybe I'll
put some crochet flowers on it, but that's everything.
When we went to Germany I thought that is a knitting country.. with lots of stores with wool, but NO, no shops with wool, and magazines with knitting patterns? No they don't have it. I fount in Holland one nice new magazine with nice things to crochet and knit... so lots of inspiration.

Books

I love Books, reading books, hobby books etc. I have already a collection of knitting books. I was looking on the internet and I saw that there are lots and lots of English Knitting and crochet books… Than I have one thought ‘ I want them, I want them!’
I have to start saving for all the books. I have a look at bol.com I also saw a book of AMIGURUMI I love that sort of crocheting!!!!
The books are in Chinese, but there are lots of pictures, so you will understand the patterns. I only can buy the book on E-bay…. They don’t sell it in Holland.
They don’t sell any nice books about knitting or crochet…
But maybe I find some nice books in Germany in 3 weeks, I also can reed the German language… ( yes I did my school! ) but that was a long time ago… hiihi

Well I am going to crochet now… otherwise my bag is next year not ready!

Love La Silvia

Pin Cushion

This is my last finisht project… It is made by my crochet needle… so no knitting.
Al my needles are a mess. They are in 5 different drawers, I must always search for them, so now I made a Pin cushion To store all my needles!

I also started a new project! A rainbow bag. Also crochet! Special for the summer, al layers have different colors, so the bag will fit with al of my summer clothes! One thing a doubt about is the handgrip. Shall I make it long or short? A have plenty time to think about it, it takes a while to finish the bag.
