Five playing...

...or how to knit cute boot cuffs!!

I used 100g bulky yarn and a set of 3,5mm bamboo needles and a 5mm crochet hook

cast 12 stitches on each of for needles

than start with the fifth working in rounds

always K2, P2

work up to a length of 22cm

than loosely cast off

use the last stitch to crochet the shell edge

stitch in between two K stitches and work 5 DC

and in between two P stitches work one SC

all the round

work the second boot cuff the same way,

if you like you can add a crochet flower!!!

Enjoy!!

..much of my day I spend driving around
picking up my kids from school, getting them to their
training, games, doctors etc..
and like I hate to be late,
I am always min. 10 minutes too early!!!
Usually this lost time freaked me out as much as being late,
than I discovered crochet again - after more than 25 years
I still know to do it, wow!!
Now 10 minutes hanging around for my
kids, gets me a crochet flower done
for rings, brooches, scrunchies and other stuff
to be pimped up.

...and I JUST LOVE THEM!!!

Love is in the air....

...the almond trees are in blossom here,
the birds are singing sweet tunes,
first violets show their face to enjoy the late winter sun
and it's true "Love is in the air"

I oppened one of my most appreciated scrap boxes,
the one with Japanese fabrics...
made tiny hearts,
a wreath of vine twigs and crochet flowers
- a cage of love -
for the purple bird twittering among them.




Happy Valentine's Day !!!
