Hi lovelies!
If you're a visitor from the One a day group, welcome to my little blog! Nice of you to stop by.
Well, this is the progress I have been making for my One a Day project. I thought I would cheat and make more than one a day, but unfortunately I have also been working on other projects and this one goes really slow. Good thing I joined the group on Ravelry, otherwise it would now be lying in one of my baskets with WIP's haha.
I still really like the pattern and since I only use one color it's pretty quick. It is also a project that I can easily take with me in the car/train. But the one-color aspect also makes it kind of boring.
So some other projects are necessary to color my world. One of these is the scarf I made for my mom. It is finished and I like it!
This picture isn't showing the colors very well, so I made another picture outside. Well, Mr. L. thought it was a swell idea to put me in the photo with it, but I must say I don't like posing a lot. So it looks a bit awkward haha. Here it goes:
I hope my mom likes it! It is made from this yarn, Scheepjes Highlands and I used this pattern (you have to be a member of Ravelry to open the links, but I think most of you are). The pattern is Japanese, but since they work with charts you can follow pretty well. Once you figure out the symbols it's a piece of cake.
Lots of love to all my lovely followers and visitors that stop by my blog! A lot of sweet comments lately and it warms my heart! Thank you!
Your scarf is lovely, the colour is beautiful
ReplyDeleteLove the scarf. Your flowers are coming along really well too.
ReplyDeleteYour japanese flower pattern is looking very beautiful, i love how delicate they look..although understandable in only using one colour, but I think it will make you admire the pattern more.
ReplyDeleteThe scarf is wonderful and looks really comfortable! I think your mum will love it!!
Nice. I swear my mom had a tablecloth in more or less that pattern, will have to search for it.
ReplyDeleteFabulous scarf and the flowers look beautiful too :)
ReplyDeleteOh I love this !! (Hi there from a One a Day 'er' :-)
ReplyDeleteThe scarf looks great on you and you are posing very nicely! I know what you mean though, it's like where do you look? What do you do with your hands? How should you stand? I end up photographing mine on a heap on a chair or having my DD model it for me.
ReplyDeleteGood progress on the Japanese flower pattern too!
I love your flowers, they look amazing on your table. I guess I just found my next project!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week! Barbina
Wow, you have been busy. I love the scarf, scarfs are so much fun to make aren't they? The flowers look fabulous to.
ReplyDeleteYour Japanese flowers are so pretty and delicate, your Mom will love the scarf,great colour. Deb xxxx
ReplyDeleteYour crochet is coming along nicely! Will it be a blanket or table runner?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your mom will love your scarf. Moms are so appreciative of our handiwork.
If you have to pose next time try reading a book or sipping a cup of something on a bench or stairs :O).
Your flowers are looking beautiful! You might be finding them a bit boring to crochet, but they're definitely not boring to look at - I really love them!
ReplyDeleteAnd the scarf is gorgeous too, and modelled very nicely by yourself by the way! :)
Your one a day project looks amazing and the scarf is lovely too. :-)
ReplyDeleteI do love those japanese flowers, so pretty. I will get round to making them one day! The scarf is gorgeous, such a lovely colour. I'm sure your mum will love it.

Oh I don't think the one colour is boring at all- it looks like lovely delicate snowflakes all joined together. I think it'll be very striking when it's finished :) sometimes keeping it simple is the best way to go!
