Teeny-Weeny projects


Turning scrap yarns into book thongs and other teeny-weeny projects is also fun...

Headbands

Christmas is only some weeks away. I thought of doing something light these past few weeks and I came out with new headbands.
I am posting them here, together with the old ones.
This was consigned to a store and was already sold



This was sold too


This was sent to a cousin in Singapore, I guess

This was also sent to Singapore




This is a new item. I just finished it last week


Finished this last week


The thread in cream was originally intended as bookmark. But perhaps it came out too long. I just added the blue edgings and lo, you got a headband!


This was also intended to be a bookmark. But I added the edgings and now it is a child's headband

Capelets

Lately, I had this urge to experiment on other creative pieces other than bookmarks and bracelets. I actually started a blouse, around five years ago but I never got to finish it, so I ripped it off and began a smaller project I could finish.

The cream-and-maroon combination for a blouse did not push through, but here is the alternative piece--a capelet.


This is the product of the ripped blouse. I re-did the thread and came up with a capelet instead.

Inspired by the cream-and-maroon combination I did, I tried to combine a solid color and a variegated hue of the same shade. I came up with this.

This is what happens when you put together leftover yarns. LOL


This is actually an unfinished work. I am still thinking what to do next. Someone suggested I'd do a blouse instead of a capelet because its design can be the beginning of a blouse.
I guess this color combination is the one I like best. The color is so feminine!
