DIY Wire ear cuffs

To make a change from crochet I decided to buy some wire. 20ga purple wire to be exact. I have always liked ear cuffs and thought I'd try to make some, only simple ones obviously. So my first try was this:

I made it by following this tutorial: http://shealynns-faerie-shoppe.blogspot.nl/2012/07/simple-ear-cuff-tutorial.html?m=1

It didn't take long to make at all and it's quite easy to follow. I added the stone from a broken bracelet that I had lying around.

Then I tried another cuff seen as I made that one really quickly:

I made this cuff from studying one on the Internet but there was no tutorial. This wasn't as easy to make, getting it evenly spaced was tricky. I think I prefer the first one I made but here's a picture of them both being worn:

Crochet Waistcoat (with link to free pattern)

I love waistcoats and have spent a lot of time looking for a crochet waitcoat pattern that I actually like. When came across one that I would actually wear I added it straight to my to do list! I think it is quite smart and simple looking (just the way I like things). Here it is: This is the first piece of clothing that I have made and I really like the way it has turned out. The patterns is well written and easy to follow, however I did have to keep trying the waistcoat on as I was making it because I have a very small build and most 'normal' sized clothes do not fit me. After making a few adjustments to the pattern the waistcoat fits perfectly. It is so comfortable and looks great over a shirt, I have had a few compliments whilst wearing it so overall a great make. The pattern is quite simple as far as clothes patterns go, it took me about two days to make, I probably could have done it in one day if I had the time. Find the pattern Here .

Crochet Sorting Hat

A very Harry Potter obsessed friend wanted me to make her a Sorting hat. It was pretty good timing to be honest as I am currently re-reading the Harry Potter books at the minute, I read them when they first came out and had the urge to re-read. I do however need to get my hands on the films just so I can compare the books to the film just for my own interest. I've never really been interested in the films. Here is the finished product: The pattern (below for link) I used is ace and really easy to follow however when I made it the first time it was way too small. At the end of the pattern it says to add extra rounds and increases until the hat fits. If I had have done this the face would have been a really small face right at the top of the hat that would just have looked utterly wrong. I used chunky yarn as suggested in the pattern however I did not have the size hook that was suggested so I used the size down but made loose stitches. Anyway, as I said, it turned out sma...
