Hand-rolled Hem

Learn something new today! How to make the hand-rolled hem. I learned this just this morning from a book I got from the Booksale several years ago. The book is called "The Art of Sewing: Delicate Wear" ( Time Life Books 1973 ). Good morning, Crochetology lovers! ^_^

Crocheting with Paper

Some time ago I made some yarn using paper and cotton string. I simply got some Manila paper and cut it into strips and twisted it with cotton thread using a drop spindle. It wasn't easy at first but I soon got the hang of it.

Today, I managed to crochet with my hand-spun paper yarn and made this headband. The flowers are crocheted using my own hand-dyed cotton-cashmere yarn. The headband uses an elastic for a good fit.

Here are photos of the process, showing how I completed this project. Enjoy! :)

New Crochetology Exercises for 2017

While having two sows farrow, a lot of work, but made sure that crocheting didn't get side-tracked! I am making lots of new projects, all of them are Crochetology exercises and Crochetology problems intended to help crocheters modify patterns and create new designs. Here are snapshots of some of the projects! I hope to be posting more in the next couple of weeks - that is, as soon as I get anew laptop - the old one is giving up on me!!
