On-line shopping

From now on you can buy some of my works on-line at Unikatno.com.mk.

Drenka's Crochet on Unikatno!!!!!!

Unikatno is a web page were you can buy homemade, original handcrafted pieces like clothing, jewelry, accessories. What I am really happy is that they have a "Recycling art" category where the artists have recycled and reused old things. And I am happy to be part of it!

I have added a link to my side bar. You can also contact me by mail or see my Facebook page if you want to buy something else.

Owl Hat

I made this hat before Christmas and didn't blog about it. I made it for a client that showed me a picture similar to this hat. I think I did a good job on it. And I wish I had better pictures of it.

Inspiration time

New crochet things form Anthropologie. And I love them both.

Rustled Crochet Vest by Anthropologie

I like the flow of this vest. The front  looks a little bit like a curtain but I like it. It gives it an interesting shape.

Gossamer Wings Capelette By Anthropologie

Looking at this capelettte I got to think that I don't have any capelette, bolero or some kind of a shawl. I should make something like this for myself.

Crocheted envelope bag

This is a crocheted bag that I made long time ago but never blogged about it. I think that I should brag about making it. It turned out cute and it was made for a client in Croatia.

Remember my Silver envelope bag? Well this one is the same except that I am using a different thread. It sure makes a difference what kind of thread/yarn you are using on your projects.

I crocheted one big square piece and then sewed it on an ordinary envelope bad that I bought at the local store.

Material used: 100% cotton (Teteks)

Hook No.2,5

I have just stumbled upon this interesting video on Youtube. The girl is knitting a blanket on two big pvc pipes. Her finished work is amazing!!!

Dark Rose Crochet Dress

image uploaded by topshop.com

I would like to make it for me but my body shape is not fit for this dress. I would look bulky in this because of the thickness of the fabric.

Lily Allen

Lily Allen is wearing something that looks like it is crocheted/knitted. Does anyone know the designer?

Red/White Socks

I have done these socks once before in these same two colors.

I find myself enjoying this pattern and I am seriously thinking of making another pair for me but in a different color. It took me one day to make them. Not eve one day, maybe several hours.

Pattern: Step by Step Socks (Ravelry link)
Yarn used: Olja by Teteks (30%Wool) and Test Yarn by Teteks
Crochet Hook: No2 and No.2,5

Can you notice the resemblance on the first two photos? She tried to recreate the scene on the photo. She even did the sheep in the back.

My Free Patterns-Plarn curtain

Did you know that I have published free patterns?
I have added new pages to my blog so you can easily access them.

One of them is my very first project that I ever did and the one that helped me learn a lot about crocheting.

It is my Plarn Curtain. For those of that don't know, plarn is yarn made form plastic bags.

Well, jkbiberstein (that's her nick name on Flickr)  made this curtain and I like it very much. I love the red color that she used for it.
You can see more pictures here and here.

Mint Bib Necklace

I haven't decided if I like it or not. I like the color but somehow it reminds me of a baby bib.

It was a very quick and easy pattern and I like that, but not sure if I will ever wear it.

Pattern: Ruffled Crochet Bib Necklace by Stefanie Fail (Ravlery link)
