Time to break out the summer designs and get started
Just a few new things we've put together lately.
This sweater is made with Omega's KuKu 100 yarn. 3 1/2 skeins slate blue. The pattern is from Doris Chan's Everyday Crochet book, also available here. Crocheted from top down in one piece.
Ceci made this beautiful Seraphina shawl with 1 1/2 skeins Omega Estilo yarn in steel blue. This pattern can be found online free.
This is the Karen's Garden Party Wrap in salmon Omega Estilo yarn, less than 1 skein
This adorable romper outfit Betty made with OmegaCrys which is available in 89 colors. WOW!
I hope to have patterns for these shortly
This Dreamy yellow bag was made with Omega LaEspiga nylon size 9. It was very easy to make and adding the 7.2" purse frame (PV65) was a snap (no pun intended). Just open the frame all the way and you see a rectangle. That's how big to make your bag, then just slip stitch the bag to the frame. This adds a whole new dimension to what kind of bags I can make, from every day to evening and bridal. I'm so excited. This really does tickle a pursaholic (and Omegaholic)
The Handsome bag was made with Omega LaEspiga size 18. I made the bag about the size of the plastic mesh frame then just single crocheted around the top edge. That was easy too. I don't think I'll even have to line it. The frame comes in 2 halves that you can cut to any size then just slip stitch the 2 halves together. This bag was made with the full size frame.

"now that I've tried this yarn, I don't think I need anything else. thanks" That's what others are saying after they use this great yarn.

This is becoming amazing!!! And you can become a part of the story....
Why & How? Crocheting has been a part of my life for over 40 years. I have many, many books and magazines because I am always looking for something new, either a pattern, yarn or thread. Recently I discovered nylon thread, namely Hilos Omega. I was amazed at the feel when working with it, the clean look of the finished product, and the amazing versatility it offers. Then I learned the size I was using comes in 74 different colors and in 7 additional sizes. There is nothing I can't make with it. This thread was very hard to find so I've decided to become a distributor. I can now use any size or color I want for the many items I plan on making with it. And I knew that there are lots of other crocheters out there that would be amazed at all the possibilities. And then I found out that they carry a ton of yarns that I had never seen before. I'm in heaven!!! But what can you make with this wonderful nylon ???? Totes/bags/purses, hats, cell phone cases, ipod and pda cases, belts, watchbands, baskets, jewelry, bath accessories, bookmarks, bridal accessories, candle holders, doilies, dolls, fans, gift bags, home decor, napkin rings, placemats, hotpads, pet leash, runners and scarves, sachets, vases, wreaths, plant hangers, aprons, coasters, curtains, bells, tissue covers, and doilies. Patterns??? There's a few here and more coming. But most of the time I just substitute. If it's fine work like a doily I use size 2 which is comparable to DMC size 20 and I use a size 8 or 9 steel crochet hook. If the pattern is worked with yarn and uses a size E of F aluminum crochet needle, I use size 18 thread. I hope more patterns will become available and will specifically call for this thread. Take a look at the colors and then some of the items I have made. I'll be adding items frequently so please stop back. If you're interesting in purchasing, I guarantee your satisfaction or your money back instantly. Thanks for stopping by!!!!!
| Columbus OH OHG I had to show this to everyone! Go to beta.searchme.com . It's a new search engine (beta for now) that shows you the actual pages. VERY cool! I put in "crochet bags" and just had a ball seeing what came up. This is going to be an amazing tool!The following is an excerpt from "The State of Specialty Needlearts 2007". "Crocheters form a specialty market of major significance. Each crocheter spends twice as much time and does twice as many projects as a knitter, but spends less money per project. They donate more than one-third as gifts". New nylon creations!
