Easy Owl

Veröffentlicht am von Carina6 Kommentare

Last night I ran out of yarn – no chance to work on either the ottoman cover or the African Flower blanket. Instead, I spent a long time reading (and admiring) my favorite blogs to finally crochet a little owl from stash just like Jacquie in UK and Janette in NZ. And while choosing colors and following the perfect tutorial (thank you!) I mused how small the world has become with everyone writing blogs and speaking English …

So here’s the German owl:

Flower Blanket

The weather is bad, it’s cold, rainy, NASTY outside and I feel the urge to repost the flower blanket. Here it is, together with J:

Blumendecke

Recently, I started working on a „summer version“ (pure cotton) but the store ran out of red and pink … Not sure what to do next. Maybe I’ll arrange the squares randomly without any red or pink at all. I might as well wait for next summer hoping that both colors will be available again. Or I surf the net (why didn’t I think of that before?!) and find it online. It’s definitely a 2013 project …

The Dachshund

A pet is not on the top of my list for 2013. To be honest – it’s not on my list at all. It never has been, as we live in the city and (at least in my world) animals and cities do not go well together.

However, after surfing the net I know now that I might make an exception … Anne Claire Petit came up with the most beautiful little dog I can possibly think of and I wish I knew how to make one of those.

No Flower Blanket

I started those little squares in 2010 (yes, 2010 …) and maybe I needed a blog to finally confess this will NEVER be a blanket. NEVER. Each flower square measures an inch …

But what am I going to do with them? Greeting cards? A mini scarf? A border of some sort? Or yet a baby blanket with the flowers spread out randomly? What color and how? I don’t know. What would you do? Suggestions are highly appreciated …

Purl Bee’s Best

Veröffentlicht am von Carina

The Purl Bee posted their Best of 2012 and I can’t help myself from thinking that I NEED MORE TIME to do all the things I really want to do!

As a matter of fact, I really want to finish all those projects laying around here (…), before starting the Rainbow Blanket. Right after that the Penguins will be topping my list – even though I have never sewn before. Let’s hope that in the meantime the Purl Bee does not come up with other wonderful suggestions …
