Large MP3 Case

Hey everyone!

It's just a quick post this morning as I have a current WIP that I need to try and get finished before this Saturday! Ahh! If you've read my latest post, you will know that I am on about the blanket I am doing for my mum, I was originally doing 190 squares but don't know whether to do 125 now, I shall soon see if I have enough time! I will be doing a post later on today about it. 

A couple of weeks back I made an mp3 case for my music player, do you remember? If not take a look! So Mr. B decided he wanted one for his and of course, I had to make one! He chose this lovely Emerald colour that I already had at the bottom of my wool bag (Monsters Inc - Disney reusable bag - Excellent use for everything! I use them to store my cake stuff in too and for college!)

The wool was Hayfield Bonus DK in Emerald and was lovely to work with! :) 

I'll be honest, as the MP3 is a lot bigger than mine it took me quite a while to get the same length and width for each side (I didn't count them like a numpty!) Using a 4mm hook, I then just kept going until it reached the right size, then got the front and the back and darned it together :) I have since realised that I should of probably crocheted the sides together using a single stitch, but hey! I'm still learning! ;) 

Needless to say that he loves his new case for his MP3 and has requested some more, should this one get damaged in anyway, after all his MP3 was not on the cheap side, but he loves his music and only wants the best ;) 

Will post more later!

Happy Crafting! 

Mini Project: Sony MP3 Case

Evening everyone! 

What have you all been up to recently?

I was going to post this a couple of  days ago, but I never got round to it, what with making all the blankets and what not. Busy, busy bee! 
Be warned -  The pictures are a little bit dull I'm afraid. 

So here it is! Sadly I can't remember the pattern for it as I made it up as I went along. 

I do know that it is all in single and chain stitches. 

I managed to roughly make them the same size which I am so happy about, as I made one for Mr. B and his was a pain to do, but I eventually did it in the end. 

I decided to do the sides separate this time, compared to the first one I did where I did it in one long, stretch and then stitched it all the way around. It looks much better like this...

And it looks a lot neater once all sewn together! Quite proud of myself really, it's nice and snug so it wont fall out either! I was going to make one for my Kobo but I can't seem to find it anywhere :( Which I am gutted and a little worried about, I'm sure it will turn up somewhere!  

*Crosses fingers and toes*

So here we have it! Was a nice quick and little project to do, there is a hole in it, simply because I was going to make a fasten on clip form the back with a button but then I couldn't be bothered as I felt it looked cute already! 

Will post again soon! 

Happy Crafting! 

Much love, 

Goldfish Case

Hi everyone!

I know what you're thinking, a case for an actual Goldfish?!

I am happy to tell you that it isn't, it's just the name I have decided to give it as I felt like the colours went well. Infant, I might make a blanket out of those colours for myself :D 

Don't you think the colours are just beautiful? 

Oooh I could squeal I'm so excited about them haha 

I decided to make up a pattern, in all honesty it's not too great but next time, it shall be wonderful!

Mr.B asked me to make him a case for his new MP3 player, it's not your average MP3 either. It's like this big industrial expensive one, and trust me, even I wouldn't want it to get broke. 

The pattern consisted of: 

Chaining 12 and then turning the work around, doing a treble crochet into every chain stitch. Continually turning over your work as you go and doing this to the desired length and height. I used a 5mm hook

I think I did about 28 rows altogether, I then just used the folding method and just sewed up the left and right sides. 

I know that the stitching isn't that great around the outside but hey ho! I'm still learning and will get there the next time I make one. I did make a button but he decided he didn't want it, which was a shame cause it was so cute! So here it is! it fits nice and snug, which is what he wanted the design to be and it's not safe and has a little home! 

I present to you...

The Goldfish! 

Much love as always, 

Emma
