Re: Nemia's Beautiful Crochet Items

I crochet more than I need for myself, so if you see a bag you like and have a deck you're sick and tired of ;-) maybe we have a deal...

I'll introduce the bags I have to offer one after the other - and if you see something you like but would prefer in another colour or size, just let me know. I'm really happy to make special things.

Arda crochet bag

Post by Nemia »

Made from earth-coloured yarn in half double stitches, with a semi-precious stone and a crochet flower on the flap. I added crochet chains for closure.

Blue Jeans YarnArt grit stitch little pouch

Post by Nemia »

I like this yarn from YarnArt - I once ordered a huge amount of it in all colours :-) and still have some skeins left. This colour is called Blue Jeans, I used a simple grit stitch, and although the flap didn't turn out perfect (it's a bit too wide, don't know why), this is a nice little bag for playing or Lenormand cards.

Caramel and peaches tarot pouch

Post by Nemia »

For this little bag, I used three colours - it was so much work to finish this job, had to sew away sooo many yarn ends... It's a sweet, maybe too sweet colour combination but I had to try it. V-stitch with colour change always turns out nice. And this YarnArt cotton yarn gives such a soft, tight texture.

I have more pictures of all the bags, and if you're interested in one, I can also measure them. Didn't do that until now... you can see on the pictures, the trimmed Renaissance tarot fits in nicely.

Cassandra mini tarot drawstring bag

Post by Nemia »

This yarn is really hard to photograph! It's a dark, rich, cool purple. I made this bag for my mini Pagan Cats deck. If you like it, I can make something similar :-)

Cool and Fresh half dc tarot bag

Post by Nemia »

I always give names to my yarn (my whole stash is catalogued in Evernote and Ravelry, I'm obsessive about cataloguing my stuff) and this one is called Cool and Fresh because I bought it on a hot day and the colours looked sooo cool and fresh!

Image

Image

Image

I used the half double crochet V-stitch - the name sounds horrible but it's really easy.

Image

Very compact structure.

Cool and Fresh lenormand bag

Post by Nemia »

The same yarn as before; this time I used the double crochet V-stitch for a small bag. Ideal for Lenormand decks.

Cool Gradient long and narrow bag

Post by Nemia »

This is a typical example of a bag that didn't turn out well. I made it too long and too narrow. Hm, thinking about it now, maybe the Daniloff would be happy in this miscalculated but nicely coloured bag? But the Daniloff already inhabits a similarly narrow-long mistake ;-)

Image

Image

Image

Image

I used the blanket stitch. Isn't it wonderful that the Internet has sooo many instructions for nice stitches? Granite, blanket, moss, grit, suzette, iris stitch... all the different V-stitches... ripples and shells and waves.... I use them all the time and they're so easy to learn.

Image

Blanket stitch gives a three dimensional texture. I confess, I like this bag and use it although the size is awkward...

Crazy Colours cruciform wrap

Post by Nemia »

That's one of my versatile and much-beloved cruciform wraps.

I started with regular rectangular wraps because I wanted a portable reading cloth... but they're impossible to close. The decks just slide out - or the whole parcel becomes impossibly bulky! But once I tried a cruciform shape instead of rectangular, it all turned out nicely.

I call this yarn Crazy Colours because it's the greatest craziest gradient between purple and green. V-stitch. My Universal Fantasy Tarot lives in this bag and loves it!

Dark Fuchsia grit stitch cruciform wrap

Post by Nemia »

Yes, I like purple! another cruciform wrap, in tight grit stitch. The button is sub-optimal, it was the only button I found but I'm going to replace it one of these days.

Image

Image

The inner button is nice but not really necessary. This was one of my first cruciform wraps; I noticed later that they hold together well without inner buttons...

Image

Image

I added a long chain and simply wrap it around the large outer button. That's really easy.
