Hello my dears – mind you, with starting the week in hospital and all, I didn’t even realize I still had time to post my YOP update until just now! Well, here we go …
I finished crocheting the basic net of the Tea Flower Shawl, and have started the flower border. I decided on pink sock yarn for the flowers. It’s difficult to tell in artificial light but the pink looks lovely against the various shades of blue, green and yellow.
There will be an awful lot of lose ends to weave in, though.
Then there are the „Call Them Cherry Blossoms“ socks I started in hospital:
I’m using a light grey as main colour and red variagated as contrast colour. I might switch the colours for the second sock, though. Having red flowers on a light grey background might look even nicer… Hmmm, maybe I should frog and start anew? What do you think?
If you’re curious about what my fellow YOPpers are up to, or would like to join in the fun, find our group on Ravelry.
Those socks are fabulous, I hope all is well and no more hospital visits are needed.
Thank you, Lucy. I hope so, too. I could do with a little peace and quiet for the few remaining weeks of 2018.
Your shawl is lovely, Ella. And the trim of deep pink flowers is going to be so fun! Looking forward to seeing the finished project. Glad you’re back home from the hospital!
Thank you, Becki. I so look forward to spring and to wearing the shawl for the first time. I’ve got a fabric somewhere that should go so well with it, I’ll just have to make time to sew a dress.
