"Everybody wants to be a cat.."

                                                   (Aristocats;1970)

Recently, I have noticed a new trend among the teenagers interested in Japanese culture – cat's ears. They're supposed to be „kawaii” and adorable, but those I found are, for me, too fluffy and too extravagant so I decided to make simpler ones myself. They can be used as a hair decoration for teenagers, as an element of a costume for kids or an interesting addition to your sexy outfit. Once again the basic knowledge in crochet will be needed here (for the new readers – you can find very comprehensible tutorials for basic stitches in „A vernal hair accessory”).

Cell Phone Warmer

"Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories..."

                                                                                           (Sleepless in Seattle; 1993)

Well, winter season is history now but since it looks like a jumper for your phone, I’m used to call it a warmer. You can also call it a phone-case, so it won’t be associated only with cold months. This is a tutorial for those who can crochet, but also for those who want to learn this technique, since the pattern is simple and easy. It uses only the single crochet stitch, which is basic for crocheting and perfect for beginners.   

A vernal hair accessory

The spring is coming, so you can finally take off your winter clothes and hide them deep in your wardrobe for six months!  But your hair needs special care after winter... It was a very rough time for it. But today I can show you how you can give it more life. It won’t be about any hair conditioners or volume shampoos, but… a hair accessory.

This idea was inspired by the tutorials from a Polish book “Crochet ABC” by Helena Gawrońska. It requires the basic knowledge in crocheting. But for beginners there are some links below, where you can find some very comprehensible tutorials for basic stitches.
