The legendary net bag of Tik Tok

Image
The video with this bag was shared on Tik tok by @celanicole and got more than 1000000 views and inspired hundreds of people to start learning how to crochet.   I was extremely touched by the fact that celanicole actually recreated my bag with such details and her bags looks identical to mine on YouTube tutorial!!  It is an awesome experience because everytime I record a tutorial I wish all my viwers can succeed in achieving the final result.  It is sometimes clear to me how to make the crochet item but it is not easy to make it clear for everyone just by recording a video tutorial.  So it is very rewarding to see people actually make what you are trying to teach in the video.  I received many comments from complete beginners that they watched this video and made a beautiful net bag. It is so perfect for everyday life and so easy to make. If you still didn't crochet it is high time to make one. Here the tick tock link: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSTefJ9Y/ Here th

Korean style scarves with one ball of yarn

It often happens to me that when I see some attractive new type of yarn for me, I still buy that  yarn but just one ball. And then I sit in my studio with one question in my head: "what can I do with this ball of yarn?". Or when I buy one ball of yarn for specific project but later I realise that it can't be done with that yarn. Recently THAT YARN for me was one ball of fur yarn and velvet yarn. I had many ideas for that one ball of fur yarn but it was enough for nothing not even a small pillow or tiny mat. Until one day the idea hit my brain Korean style fur scarf. I call it korean style just because I saw many korean vloggers had similar ones. It's short practical and pretty.   For this type of scarf you can use literally any yarn you want and a matching hook. The recommended size is 80~90 cm long and 10 cm wide. You can customise the size as you prefer. The key idea is to crochet a little whole where one end of scarf can be inserted to avoid
