Entrelac

December 15 2022 / / 0 Comments

Of course, there is still a small project update.

Besides “Christmas presents that are homemade even though you don’t really celebrate Christmas and don’t need anything anyway…”, there is also an update. I’m refreshing what I’ve learned in the past, thanks to Youtubers at this point, and I’m teaching myself new techniques.

Today I am implementing “Entrelac”. I still have some wool scraps that are normally used to crochet fabric baskets. Now I’m going to make something like “coasters” out of them.

You can see a “in progress” photo below this text.

For all those who are interested, here is a wikipedia link. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrelac
But it’s all about knitting. I decided to crochet. That is, “Tunisian crochet” with Entrelac “techinique” or something <3

beginning of a crochet basket in light green

This is the bottom of a rectangular crochet basket. I think at some point it was trendy to have crocheted baskets. I find it very exhausting and have only finished one so far. But these are the weeks of unfinished things, so here is an unfinished crochet basket that didn’t do my wrist much good.

Beginning of a blanket

In order to have some variety from the socks, I threw myself into a “leftover wool” project. It will be a 250 cm long blanket. From leftover wool. Which probably won’t be enough. I don’t have that much worsted yarn. But with 2 or 4-ply yarn I would never finish. I’ll keep the blog up to date.

The parts for the turtle shell multiply. Let’s see what comes out in the end. I’m a little worried about the dents, but good turtle shells take time.

old fabric in pieces
the beginning

At the moment I’m tearing and cutting up old t-shirts that don’t want to be worn anymore. I was thinking about making containers for clothes out of old clothes, maybe that’s not the worst idea 🙂

I don’t think the old jersey fabric is necessarily suitable for sewing. So I cut off the seams and by tearing I try to make the longest possible cord which I can then crochet. It’s quite hard on the arms. Let’s see what the final result will look like. I’ll keep you informed, blog. good night
