C'est l'heure des fleurs...

Flowers and more flowers! All I can think about is how to add more flowers to my projects.


I found some more of the the Malabrigo yarn in Natural 63. It is a beautiful cream color but I wanted to add some shine. Thanks to my new BFFs at Imagiknit, I was advised to add some "Garden Metalic". A lovely combination!

Cream with a Golden Zing

The result: a chunky cowl with shine and three dangling flowers on the side made from some of my left over yarn. Not sure if it's practical but it sure is original. 

Same color as the cowl

A grey blue

A dark brown and blue mix

And this is the final result:

Cowl with flowers...

I have a poncho idea next - ideally with some flowers!

Stay tuned...

Avec des fleurs, c'est si joli!

I had this plan to make my daughter a hat and add cute crochet flowers onto it. It's always great to have the vision... implementation takes a while.

I had made her a cute little blue cowl which she actually loves and wears daily.

With the left-over yarn, I wanted to try to knit her a hat... it turned out halfway decent!

The last time I held a crochet hook, I believe was in 8th grade. Needless to say, I immediately referred to YouTube and got a very needed fix.

The result wasn't too bad. Certainly not pro work, but not too bad for a first attempt.

Flowers in Magenta and Orange

As I started to assemble it all, I thought I should maybe ask her. It turns out, she didn't want any flowers on her hat. So that was that! We later discussed that maybe dark blue and bright green flowers would be ok. Have to love the 4 year old and her opinions!

This being said, it was great practice because inside my tiny little head, I had a million projects struggling to come out. The next one was simply beautiful!
