This flower doily was slightly modified at the last round from https://dzen.ru/media/id/5ccfff2057047600b30341ef/krasivye-salfetki-sviazannye-kriuchkom-5ff18ed6bb14d54ffbf22ee1 Thread: Aunt Lydias crochet thread, classic 10, color Maize Hook size: 1.5mm (#7) Finished size:                          Unblock: 15 inches in diameter                          Block: 17 inches in diameter

  When I found this picture from https://www.liveinternet.ru/users/helgaolga/post376397628/ , I could not resist but make one.  I did not do the same border as the original piece simply because I ran out of the thread and was too lazy to buy more skein. The materials I used were: Thread: Aunt Lydia’s crochet thread, Classic 10, Color myrtle green, 4 skeins Crochet hook: #7 (1.5mm) Finished size (after block): 43 inches wide x 28 inches height

    This is a beautiful filet crochet swan I found in https://www.stranamam.ru/post/13955530/?sharelist=true The materials I used were: Thread: Red Heart thread, Classic 10, color white Crochet hook: #7 (1.5mm) Finished size (after block): 23 inches in width x 18 inches in height

  I found this eye-catching doily at http://www.triinochka.ru/post466522605/?upd and have wanted to make one for a while. I finally did it. I think it does not matter what types of yarn or thread you use.  The outcome is always beautiful. I use Aunt Lydia’s crochet thread classic 10 and US 7 (1.5mm) crochet hook for this project. My completion size after block: Inner circle diameter: 7 inches Outer circle diameter: 17 inches

      I love fun projects.   Recently, I completed this star-shaped round pillow.   The followings are the basic information: Hook: #F (3.75mm) hook. Yarn: Red Heart super saver color white and color royal Zipper: 14 inches Finished size: 18 inches diameter. Every round is joined using the invisible join method. Every round is turned. Every round is made with single crochet with back loops only.  That is how I get the ridges. Because I want to have a zipper for the pillowcase, I made two pieces and joined in the center at the end. At the last stitch before changing the color , instead of making 1sc, followed by skip 1 stitch, made 2sctog instead.  This was to make a better and smoother color transition. At the end of the whole thing, a tube shaped piece will be done. The most difficult part is the beginning because of trying not to twist the long chain stitches.  Once I carefully manage not to mess up my shape, the rest is easy.  

    I came across with this bag graph ( https://www.knittingideas.ru/posts/24252-interesnaja-sumka-s-zhakkardovym-uzorom.html ) and decided to make one with my own twist.   I used whatever yarn I have at home.  I decided to try the combination of Bernat Super Value yarn, color Forest Green (440 yds) and Dark Heather (440 yds). I also chose to use #F (3.75mm) crochet hook.  Every 2 inches consisted of 10 single crochet stitches and/or 8 crochet knit stitches. Honestly, trying different stitch combinations is fun.  So, this was what I did for this bag: The entire bag was crocheted in the round with waistcoat stitch (crochet knit stitch) combining with invisible join at the end of each round.  There are mirror images at both sides of the bag.     The straps were done with both basic Romanian cord and single crochet stitches. I also added a zipper for the bag. After the completion, the body of the bag was 15.5 inches in horizontal width and 12....
