Crochet Galore

thank you all for your lovely comments on the previous post

reading them is very encouraging and rewarding

makes me hurry to add a few more lines to the new baby blanket in progress


do you see I got my inspiration from the Greengate blanket I featured in this post?

I love the double crochet clusters alternating blue and white for a few rows


on a rainy day like this in Holland

I love to browse the web and get inspired for new crochet projects

for example, to make this wonderful mesh bag, check out Elisabeth Andrée's fantastic tutorial here

I love the colorcombination she picked, it looks so stylish and classy!


also, for some baby cuteness

~ other than just blankets ~

visit the Etsy shop Mamachee, can you resist those Chloe slippers on the left?


do not hestitate to visit her lovely blog EASY makes me happy, don't we all agree on that name...

~

well, long live inspiration

and happy chrocheting!

~  love ~
