Crochet tomato

Homemade in the summer… this crocheted tomato, isn’t he sweet? It is in the style of amigurumi. I found it al little bit hard to make it, it is al very tiny and creak to crochet it.. ( I hope I spell the words correctly ) I get cramp in my fingers, and have to stop in a hour, stretch my fingers and hope I can do it again for a hour.
Much much easier is are these mouse’s, I have to
knit them and that is much more relaxing for my
fingers! I made 2 of them for our two cats… they
love them, because the yarn is sticking al little
bit on there nails is looks for the cats the mouse
is moving it selves! You can also made the tail in
a knot so you can wear it with your keys!

How I started

2 years ago I started with crochet. Little flowers and bags, my mother in low learn me how to crochet.
When I was little my grandmother learn me to knit… as grandmothers do! I am no great knitter or super with crochet needles, but I love it!
In Holland were I live ( yes I am a Dutch girl) is knitting and crochet a small hobby, not very much people do it, but it gets popular again! In the 80’s everybody was knitting… Now we have the book stitch ‘n bitch it is getting very popular again… we are waiting for the translation of ‘happy hooker’ from Debbie Stoller.We love Debbie Stoller! I have the English version of the book, and I have to translate al the patterns, thats sometimes very hard to do.

Next time more about my hobby!
