i had the idea
for these brewing and pieces languishing in basket for months,
nothing like a deadline to give you a push. i needed that push and i am
so pleased with the result. many thanks for these amazing pictures go to my lovely and uber talented friend susan.
here is where we started, originally i had not planned on using the green fan flowers (it is fair to say i love a neutral and muted colour pallet) but miss pitter can carry off any colour so it was back in the mix and allowed me enough fabric to squeak out two bands of colour on each scarf. the blue tulipish pattern was a much lighter cotton and was whipped into tags, as everything is much better with a tag.
my trimming pieces along with crochet panels of alpaca, cotton and thick linen have been pulled together to make a family of loop scarves. the wool is reassuringly wintery smelling and the cotton backing means no crys of itchyness from the littles. the linen was destashed from my mother on a recent trip and is thick and soft. for all outings these will be a go to for most of the year and i am hoping to have these in use for many years yet.
voting opens on the pinterest board on the 1st of june and runs until the 5th, do check it out and give your favourite a repin. i highly recommend looking over the past years at some amazing work. this has been another challenge i am so glad to have joined, i have such lovely things from it and will find more amazing crafters no doubt.
and this is me enney pitter......hi (many of you will know the rare feeling of a photo of yourself you like....this is one for me)
