Crochet Fruit Basket

When I go shopping, I I end up smashing fruits like blueberries, strawberries and raspberries in my bag. So I made crochet fruit baskets for shopping.

I used thick cotton yarn.

Beach Hat (Wide Brim) – Black

I made another beach hat with a black yarn, the same design as the red one I made previously.

Love this simple design!

Beach Hat (Wide Brim) – Red

I made my second beach hat.

I used a washi (Japanese paper) yarn. It is paper but it acts almost the same as straw. Washi is used for tatami mats (Japanese straw flooring mats) as substitute for straw.

It took a while before I got used to crocheting with this yarn but I love it.

Hannah is wearing it but this one is mine.

Beach Hat

I made a hat for myself (Hannah modeled for the pic.)

I used Hamanaka Eco Andaria which is made with 100% biodegradable material. I purchase a lot of knitting tools and materials from Hamanaka. By doing so, I can support the company that the headquarter is located in Kyoto, my hometown. Also I love their products!

Toeless Socks

I bought some OPAL summer sock yarns from KFS and made some toeless socks for this summer. My heels get really dry and get cracks if I don’t wear socks (even though I put moisturizer) so I always need to wear socks. Toeless socks are great when I wear beach sandals during summer.

Martina’s Haramaki (Belly Warmer) Cap (#3)

This is my third one.

The yarn is OPAL sock yarn but this ‘Zebra’ is sold only by KFS

A Crochet Mat For Rocky

I made a cotton crochet mat for Rocky.

He loves it!

Room Shoes

We take off our shoes in the house following the Japanese tradition (also I find a lot of people do so here in BC.) I don’t like walking in the house with socks or bare feet, so I made room shoes for myself…

It was so much fun to make them, I ended up making so many!
