Virkkasin ja kirjoin hymiöitä Molla Millsin Smile-ohjeella, joka löytyy kirjasta Langankiertoja. Ajattelin ensin ommella pohjalaukun, mutta päällystinkin niillä ilmaiseksi saadun mainoskassin, joka on tehty kierrätyspuuvillasta. Keltainen puuvillalanka on kierrätyskeskuksesta, josta lankoja sai pienen pussillisen eurolla. Musta lanka on uutena ostettua Alize Angora Gold Simliä. Hieman pinkkiä jämälankaa kului vaihtoehtohymiöihin. Kirjan perushymiöiden lisäksi kaipasin vaihtelua, joten toisella puolella kassia on ilmeikkäämpiä hymiöitä. Virkkuukoukku oli 1.5 mm ja neulaa tarvittiin hymiöiden kirjailuun. This bag is made with Smile pattern that is by Molla Mills and published in the book Crochet Crush. The base is a bag made out of recycled cotton and I got it for free, as it had some ads printed on it. It has been in use for few years and is good size for groceries, books etc. I sewed on the bag the crochet panels that had the embroireded faces on them. The book's instructions have a graph for traditional smileys, but I wanted to liven up the production line process of making lots of similar things and made various smileys for the b-side. The black yarn is new skein of Alize Angora Gold Simli, but the yellow cotton yarn is actually from the local recycling center where I got a small bag of half-used skeins for one euro. I used 1.5 mm crochet hook and an ordinary needle for the embroidery. And bit of pink scrap yarn was needed for the alternative smileys. |
