Crocheting sheep, broomstick lace cozy, bottle topper

Presenting the most lovable crocheting sheep couple.. One who is crocheting and the other who is donating his yarn straight off his back.. !! He is holding the rose for her too!! and hanging out in the rose garden!!

Well ..I made this bottle topper and cozy with broomstick lace.
Can you see the little details here? The sheep has a crochet hook and is weaving a granny square blanket for themselves...How cute is that?

They also  have a smile of their face. I handcrafted the sheep and all of what you see ..The sheep have some rouge on their cheeks too!!

I so love sheep and crochet and this piece of mine has both of them in it!! Can store gummy bears or cute little art thingies in this bottle cozy. Isn't it fun to make dresses for bottles too?

You see my cute crocheting sheep here again..look at where all the wool has gone into from the sheep's back!! Wool cannot be any much more fresh...

I must say I do like the iphone 5 which takes such great pictures. So handy and useful indeed.

Another picture for you..a view from the top.. The grass and rose patch is so very refreshing...

More of the loving crocheting sheep couple..

 

I like the lovely sheen on my broomstick lace cozy..the cozy can be removed and washed and also used as a draw string bag. I designed this with a tightknit circular base that makes the drawstring bag to have its form and hold up well.

Another use is as a candle holder.

Hope you enjoyed this, and until we meet again..

With lots of love ..

Lakshmi garlic paste bottle cozy: Broomstick lace crochet

Presenting here is my bottle art:
The garlic and ginger paste bottle from the Brand Lakshmi is really the best versatile bottle I have seen by far. I have hand made a bottle topper and am in the process of weaving a cozy for the bottle in a pretty green. 

Just begining with simple SCs here and you also see my pretty green handled crochet hook. I made this handle myself, and it helps me identify the different sizes by just the handles, enables me have a better grip. and another benefit is that it enhances the width of the hook and gives me a better feel.

I am developing the base of the cozy with the bottle base in mind and with tight knit stitches that gives a good foundation for this cozy to be also used as a draw string bag.

I worked around the base..

Pretty Broomstick lace ..This is my all time favorite indeed. The lace is also known as the Peacock eye lace or the Jiffy lace.

Green is so refreshing indeed.

This is a top down view of the serenading birds. The birds are in a rose patch as you can see.
My imagination runs wild with nature, when I start developing my themes and designs and get them from my drawing board on to form... Midway the yarn was getting really knotted, and it was another lesson for me on lovingly and patiently unraveling the knots...

 

This is the view of the bottle with the ginger paste inside. I wait for them to get over!!

 

Have used the jar with the bird topper to store candy!!

Hope you enjoyed this art. Until we meet again,
Lots of love
