Mindfuck and mind clearance

After some moaning, groaning and giving up plus time passed I have finally beaten the beast. Let the material guide you and you get great meditation time while stitching.

Sports and beyond



Here is your carrot net revived for all sorts of storage problems.











Origami bags

Word of mouth from my crafting aunt taught me the how-to of the triangle bags. The most important thing is to observe the geometrics: 3-square-length.














































There are several instructions on the net also, e.g. this one in German.

Couldn't resist

It's not that I need anymore, but the color, folks, the color ...

How-to cases for glasses

Soft care


New notebook - new pouch (es). One was fun, the other necessary. For both I used these sheets of soft packing material as protective lining.  




















See-through storage

Some of the one-way nets are great for storage of all sorts of stuff, e.g. buttons, beads and pearls. They also are great gift "wrap".

Net shoe bag

 Pretty colors, lots of fresh air...
















Basketry

 Looped and lined the carrot nets


The silvery thread

With the latest net donation came another Christmas tree net (see April). Not one bag is like the other, but here the fabric works so well with the knitted net that I followed the general idea I used before.

Round it goes

Had lots of fun looping the nets...

Tights'n nets


Some time has passed and I still like to work with nets. Here, for a change combined with tights. Loop-knitted, lined, handle and bottom real leather.

Two sides of a backpack


Orange nets looped


















From the diary of the lonely overshoe



After my master had quit fighting Napoleon and I had lost my companion I was suffering in some dark corner doing nothing. Now, I am finally happy to report that I was put to good use again as a protective pouch for woodworking tools.

Buy a tree and have a bag

These white nets they use for selling Christmas trees are quite inspiring! They have a slight silvery touch. I have come to like knitting them using one of those frames for making loops. That generates a uniform surface.
