Crocheted bag

Hi there!

Summer has started, as well as the time spent in the park watching my 4YO girl playing with some other kids. Sometimes I am wishing I have simple and rather mechanical to do, so I can keep an eye on her and do something at the same time.

So I tried with this item, a crocheted bag useful to go shopping. Pattern by Drops Design, here you have the link:

I used some cotton/acrylic yarn, same as I used for scientific amigurumi. I used 50 g in orange color, and 100 g in green.

I am very happy with the result, it is very useful and I could do something else but being seated 😉

Scientific amigurumi

Hi there,

How are you? I hope very fine.

Today I want to share with you a nice pattern published in Ravelry. It is a crochet pattern of an Erlenmeyer flask. Here you are the link:

https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/earl-lenmeyer-the-flask

I am preparing a gift for a labmate who is about to defend her PhD thesis. And this amigurumi flask is just great. I crochetted it together with a test tube. The test tube it really easy to crochet, just make a magic ring of 5 single crochet stitches, make 2 sc in the next round and keep on crochetting as long as you want your tube to be. You can "fill in" your tube just using a colored yarn, and changing to white yarn for the empty part. When you think your tube is big enough, just stuff it, and decrease in each sc crocheting only in the back loop. The cap of the tube is also easy, make a magic ring with 6 sc, increase in the next round to 12 sc, and then crochet in the back loop in the next round. Make 2 or 3 more rounds and finish it. Your test tube is done!!

I hope you will like it.
