Crochet Again

are you enjoying your weekend?

it is beginning to look a lot like winter here in Canada

temperatures around -10 C, snow and bright sunny days ~ I love this weather

~

warm inside our home I started a new project, my first in 2012

do you remember these lovelies I found in New York last Fall?


I love the flower pattern so much

I am trying to transfer it to a yarn project

so I took my colored pencils and draw out a pattern... to crochet!


it looks a lot like an embroidery pattern and I might even embroider the rose one day

but now I am making tiny crochet squares and plan to make them into a cushion cover or small blanket

it is a try out, so I will see what I end up making ~ smile


and it was about time I started crocheting again

it feels good to be working on a new, fresh project

and enjoying the flowers and beautiful sunny days at the same time

I love how the sun reflects through the icicles


but I must admit

my last knitting project is not yet finished


although I am coming close to finishing this shawl

after this pink part, there is one more white and one more grey part to go, and then I can start wearing it!


don't these knitting and crochet projects make a perfect match?

wishing you a happy creative Sunday too

  3. You always end up with these matching posts! How is that? Is your wardrobe just as matched, I wonder... Mine is chaos. A little bit of this, a little bit of that. Totally unorganized. After reading your letter (Thanks :D!)I have come to realize you are a bit of an organized lady. I guess you will use those crochet squares like mosaics... How clever is that!!! You amaze me darling. And I wonder why I didn't come up with that idea... Now I will probably turn into a boring copy cat...Big kiss. ♥♥♥ Annette
