Cannon, a versatile cotton thread

Cannon thread can have various uses, so I can say its a versatile cotton thread. We can use different sizes of hooks, or use them in double or triple strands (as I've mentioned before). We can also try out different kinds of patterns and use it to substitute for more expensive yarns.
I've just checked out my project page on Ravelry and so far I had entered 200 projects made from Cannon threads :)
Here are some of my latest projects:

My latest crochet amigurumi projects

Most of us crocheters have made or want to make amigurumis. I've made several cats and dogs and some other creatures in the past. I observed in Ravelry that it is mostly made from worsted weight yarn, or even thicker yarn. Though there are Japanese amigurumi patterns that are made from light fingering (3-ply or 4-ply) yarn. For this we can substitute Cannon threads.
I've used our local threads for many amigurumi projects, sometimes I double or triple the strands and use from 2.5mm to 4mm hook.
Below are two of my latest projects and I used 2.5mm hook and one strand of Cannon thread. It may seem tedious, but crocheting with size 8 thread is very easy on the hands.
These cats are referred to as Lucky Cats, and we made it our Crochet-along project in our Ravelry group. The other cats we made can be seen here in my main blog ;)

Finished the Lace Tunic top

Sewed a lining for my lace top ;)

 

I already finished the lace top, and I sewed a sheer fabric lining at the skirt part. Its not very neat, but from the outside no one can tell ;) 

I'll be posting a modeled shot of my top soon!

Pineapple lace pattern on tunic (or dress)

I've made a lot of progress on the lace tunic. The pattern is very interesting and I could go on and on if I had nothing else to do :p. But as expected, I ran out of thread. I already guessed I didn't have enough of the gray thread, but I really wanted that color.
Meantime, here's what I made so far using up 5 1/2 balls of Cannon thread.
