The Evolution of a Dog

Posted by bayan

The little guy I showed last week are supposed to have two dogs, and using photos of them, I started crocheting the two tiny dogs. What at the beginning seemed to be an ordinary and simple task eventually became a long trial and error process which lasted more than two days, till I figured out how I should create those tiny creatures. I can't share the final results yet, but hope to do so soon.

The hands

Posted by bayan

Those were first, but they didn't fit very well,
 so I had to replace them, it lasted a while, till I figured out how should I crochet the human-like hands.
 And here they are, tomorrow I will begin with the feet.

Growing-up

Posted by bayan

Here she is, yet there is much more to be done; keeping on unpicking and re-crocheting, over and over again. The pace is slow, and now I keep working on the hands and legs.

Coming soon-Crochet workshop

Posted by bayan

Recently I have been busy getting ready for a new crochet workshop I will be conducting next month here in my new home studio. It required a lot of thinking and concentration on my part, since when I create my items; I just crochet freestyle, finding my way with the hook and stitches. I have a raw idea in my mind which comes to life loop by loop, and I don’t follow any patterns. Actually, it is not that simple. Many times it required countless unpicking until I got the form I wanted; a long trial and error process would perhaps be a better way to describe it. I have developed this process over the years, and came up with new ideas and techniques from doll to doll.
Many times I was asked to teach my own unique crocheting technique, I didn't feel confident enough to do so. But as I received more and more requests, I decided to give it a try. At first I made those trials by my own, and then asked a friend to be my guinea pig. I taught her my principles and it seemed like they were clear enough, she managed to come up with a crocheted head on her own, following my instructions. There still remain some issues like creating the workshop schedule and deciding on the number and duration of meetings, as well as some details about the process I have to plan, but  I will publish the invitation in the following few days.
Send me an e-mail if you'd like me to e-mail you when the invitation is done or if you'd like to join my mailing list, where I send updates about upcoming workshops.

Sock creatures need hands

Posted by bayan


"Sock creatures need hands," mumbled the round sock creature to himself,
while I was already crocheting a pair for him.
As soon as they were done, he was invited to take a look.

They seemed to be fine.
Sewing them to the creature's body was painful.
He had to take a rest when it was over.

But mother bird had other plans,

They had to go back home.
