Cool knitted chair

En gammel kontorstol fikk nytt og spennende utseende ved hjelp av gamle joggebusker!

Trekket på stolen er rett og slett strikket av gamle joggebukser som er klippet opp i lange remser.

The cover for this chair is knitted from old sweatpants! A cool way to reuse old clothes!

 

The chair is made by: http://madhandremade.no/

Søte heklete Mary Jane-tøfler/Cute crochet Mary Jane-slippers

Jeg har lett etter mønster på heklete tøfler til min datter på ti år, og fant disse fantastisk søte Mary Jane-tøflene på nettsiden til Kathleen. Du må kanskje tilpasse mønsteret litt etter størrelsen, og garn og heklekroken du velger, jeg tror disse i mønsteret er ca en europeisk størrelse 37. Når jeg har eksperimentert litt med heklenål og tråd skal jeg legge inn bilder av resultatet og eventuelle justeringer her.

I have been looking for a pattern for crochet slippers for my ten year old daugheter for some time, searching stores and the internet. She already owns crochet ballerina slippers (I will post them later) but these Mary Jane-slippers will make her thrilled! Thanks to Kathleen Watkins at Chrocet Designs by Kathleen for sharing her pattern with her readers! I think this pattern is about a European size 37, so I will experiment a bit with my hook and different yarns and post the result and maybe adjustments here later. Thank you again Kathleen!

This is the pattern/post (and photo) borrowed from Kathleens webpage:

REMEMBER: the straps are sewn onto the inside of the slipper, and the buttons are sewn onto the outside of the slipper. Each slipper will be a mirror of the other.

Fantastic photo of knitted dress, top and skirt from the 60's. Can't remember where I found the photo, so I'm googling and googling.. I'd love to knit a short 60's mini dress like the one in yellow!
