Stash-Busting: Scarf for little girls . . .

 Hello !! 

For a while I could not decide on which pattern to use for a new scarf for my daughter. 

I looked through Raverly, blogs, etc but could not find a pattern that I loved utterly. 

Finally I can show you the result of this project for which I gave you a sneak peak on this post. 

I had been wanting to make something with Attic24 lovely little May Roses, and so I thought this was the perfect project ! (see May Roses scarf version at the end of the post) 

However, when I had it finished I kept thinking it was not the definite scarf and so last Saturday, looking through Lucy's blog I also saw again the flower she had made for her lovely hat.  

 And thought: this could be it ! It could be the definite touch for the scarf. 

So I made a test version of the Triple Layer Flower, and then another version until I made this one and thought I was happy with it. 

 The scarf is made in Soft Merino Wool Yarn in rows of single crochet (US), double crochet (UK). 

The coloured details and flower is made in the same yarn I made my daughter's blanket, a yarn I adore. 

It is 50% wool, 50% acrylic and the colours are really yummy !

To make the fuchsia detail I made a row of single crochet (US) or double crochet (UK) in the back loop of the stitches you are working on. This makes a ripple effect on your row, them continued with SC/DC all along. On top of the rippled row I made a slip stitch (Single Crochet in UK) row in fuchsia pink. 

 The edge was just a very simple but pretty one and it kind of was screaming for it. 

I made the border : 

US terms

3 double crochet on same stitch, slip stitch on next, 3 DC on next stitch, slip stich on next, and so on

UK terms

3 triple crochet on same stitch, single crochet on next, 3 TC on next, SC on next, and so on

This was the May Roses Version. 

What are you making at the moment ?

Have a lovely week !!

New Bunting & New Look . . .

Hello all ! 

Last few weeks are being hectic over here but good too.

I have also been changing the look of my blog as I just felt like it and wanted to create my own logo and this time do it by myself, which I did.

What do you think ? Do you like it ? 

I feel a bit nervous about this change, not sure why but I do. 

I will still probably play around the whole look the next few weeks until I feel 

completely happy with it. 

I had no idea I could create my own kind of logo as I have no idea of design, technology, etc and I have used Pickmonkey for it. I quite like the result. 

Then I also have to show you the latest bunting I have made. 

It was again a custom order and this time they just told me that the 

girls room was grey and white. 

Then I went to my local craft supplies store and chose this delicate fabric by Riley Blake, it is called 

Willow Main in Pink. 

I decided to add some pink into it too and they loved the result. 

After I delivered the bunting I was told that they had actually forgotten to mention that the room was actually grey, white and pink ! 

So everyone happy ! 

Now I need to get a better camera so that I can show you better pictures next times. . . 

(all pictures are being taken with my mobile at the moment, not ideal, I know)

HAVE  A WONDERFUL WEEK !
