FANCY CROCHET CELLPHONE POUCHES AND TRIANGLE PURSE

Hello friends.... 

     First of all happy new year to all with a fresh rose in my garden

     I'm very much happy to post my 100th post..... Although i started my blog in December 2008 I posted a lot in 2011 I'm happy with my posts too... 
     At this time I want to thank all of you who gave me great support.... Without Ur wonderful comments there's no joy in these works.... and I'm grateful to my family for their kind love to me... I wish to travel with my blog throughout my life with all your support.... 

And this is time to show you my new works..... I learned cable stitch.... i learned this from an wonderful e-book from allfreecrochet it has step by step tutorials for different types of stitches. Another one is made of solid shell stitch. And the next one is a triangle purse... This is my own pattern. As the granny triangle pattern is like a bowl after few rounds (check my drag my button picture) i tried a new one... I my next post i'll write the pattern for the triangle.....

ALL THREE WITH AN UNFINISHED ONE

TUNISIAN CROCHET POUCH/PURSE/DRAWSTRING PURSE

Here is my another purse.... draw string type.... I learnt Tunisian crochet a while ago with the help of a book... I tried this stitch in two pieces... So joined both and made this... This is absolutely very very easy stitch to learn..... In other countries they use a separate needle for  Tunisian crochet (same needle but lengthy)... but we can use our normal needle.... 



These are some links for the tutorial for learning purpose ...
