There are so many ideas out there in the
wonderful world wide web, that I wish for more time in a day, and maybe one
more right hand to work with.. hmmm, what say?

some Indian Anchor knitting cotton, with a 1.75 mm crochet hook.

Sc-blo : Single Crochet Back Loop Only
: For
this stitch, we work the regular sc, but instead of going through both loops,
you only go through the back loop of each sc.

Hdc : Half Double Crochet : yo,
insert hk into st ; yo (3 lps on hk), yo, draw through all 3 lps. One hdc made.
For the bird cage, I used the inspiration (photo below) and this pattern write up http://www.simplycrochetmag.co.uk/2013/04/04/dfdsfdsfsf/
I changed mine just a tad, by not
adding the LED light at the bottom, and by making it a little longer.
When I was done, I have hung a (rainbow) crystal from the centre of the bird cage, and I love the subtlety of the little crystal. So there’s an idea for you.

For the 1st one, I used Anchor
knitting cotton, and worked it like the pattern, using dc and ch-1 sps.
For the 2nd one, I used Red Rose
metallic knitting cotton, and thought I’d use just one long stitch with ch-1
sps.
I am not sure if this stitch actually exists,
but I did something that I’d call double double trc, (dd trc?), for which I
wrapped the yarn 5 times around the hook, and then yo, and pass through 2 lps 6
times till you finally make your stitch.
All this does is make a really really long stitch – which worked for
me. For the 1st st, I worked
6 ch and then 1 ch for the ch-1 sp between the 2 dd trc stitches.
The most important thing is to get it all blocked nice and propah.. else it will flip and fall all over the place.
Oh, I added a small crystal and some beads
inside as well.. after all, it is a bird cage, right?
Blocking ideas :
I would suggest that you block your project,
especially if you’ve used a cotton yarn.
I used a white glue (Mod Podge or Indian Fevicol) as a stiffner.
I used 1 part glue to 2 parts water and make a
light paste, and then I lightly applied this over the back of my work using a
paint brush. Allow to flat dry before
gifting or using.
