Placemats

Last weekend I started again with some research about making placemats. Earlier I talked about research of making placemats on a cardboard loom, but it did not turned out like I wanted it to be, it was too loose and the shape did not came out good. In the past I started to crochet first ideas for placemats, and this is what I will do in the coming periode again. Doing research, trying out different colors, I even was inspired with the pink, orange colour of the flowers from my begonia plant. I will work out square pieces and round pieces. I finished the last rounds of a piece that I started some time ago, it is just to practice and a part of my research. I will finish it this week and we will see how it comes out and then I can think further about it . Also the patterns from my book I will use in the future for designing placemats, but also for other work of course. More about my research will follow soon, in the mean while have a lovely time creating.

Pattern book

Next week I will show you some pages out of my crochet pattern book. Step by step it is coming together now. It will be an archive where I can look back to durning my whole life. Every pattern that get's a place in it will be playing an important part in the creating proces of a crochet work. The book will be like a inspiration guide to me and I will fill it up bit by bit in time, when I can.
