Fall still has some beautiful days left! It’s nice to sit in the garden or on the patio with a cool drink and enjoy the last warm rays of sunshine. If only it weren’t for those pesky wasps!

These fruity coasters are the perfect solution! They work wonderfully as glass covers. The hole in the middle is just the right size for a straw, so the wasps don’t stand a chance.
The coasters are super easy to crochet; you just need a few scraps of cotton yarn in the corresponding colors:
- for kiwi: light green, medium green, black, and brown
- for lemon: yellow, light yellow, white
- for orange: orange, light orange, and white
- for melon: pink, white, dark green, black
- for apple: vanilla yellow, red (or green), and dark brown

Felted Shoes Made from Scraps with Homemade Leather Soles

Finally, a practical use for all your felted yarn scraps: simply knit colorful felted shoes out of them. You can use all your scraps, big and small. The pattern describes and shows how you can make them for yourself, your family, your children, your grandchildren, and your friends. You knit them in one piece; the washing machine takes care of the felting.

They keep your feet wonderfully warm and always make a beautiful, personalized gift. You’ll find more examples and information by clicking on the title.

I hope you enjoy this project—Yours, “Ina strickt”

Craft Bucket

This craft bucket is a very practical and strikingly beautiful helper for craft enthusiasts. It’s crocheted from leftover acrylic yarn. Inside is a plastic bucket.



On the outside, it has many handy compartments for your crochet hooks and other tools.



Put your current crochet projects in the bucket. That way, you’ll always have everything you need for your crafts right at hand. You can carry it from place to place and won’t have to search for anything anymore. Everything is always organized and has its own designated spot.

The crochet pattern is especially suitable for beginners, since I describe and demonstrate everything in detail. It’s fun to mix and match the colors, and you’ll make quick progress—soon you’ll be rewarded with a beautiful finished piece.

I hope you enjoy this project. Yours, Ina
