This project was started so long ago that I don't blame you for not remembering THIS post. It turns out that was back in 2013. I made quite a few squares but never did find "just that right blue" to match up so I decided to add another colour.......I would have liked a nice soft green......Pistachio comes to mind.......however, the right green was also elusive so I settled for a grey.
After finishing off a great many of my squares with the grey, I decided I didn't like it so the whole lot just got bundled up and basically forgotten about.
Scoot right back to this week and I was walking through a shop in town looking for something quite unrelated when, suddenly, I laid eyes on........Pistachio Green......Oh My! Quick as a flash, I honed in on the much sought after yarn and grabbed arms full of it.......before, coming to my senses and selecting 4 balls. Drove back home as soon as possible to unravel all the grey stuff.......(I am sure it will have a place elsewhere)
With that done, I started the new row of crocheting on my daisy blocks.
I am really liking it now and since I couldn't wait to see what it would look like joined together, I even joined two rows of blocks
What do you think? I was so excited by my find that I went past that same shop the next time I was in town to pick up some more yarn. I envisage a whole new stash happening!
It turns out that nothing could be better than doing some craft today. It is wild and wooly outside with 55km winds gusting up to 100km/hr........and getting really chilly......possible snow over the next two days.....brrrr!
Now where is that crochet hook?!
I love them! So pretty :)

That is just lovely...the perfect shade of green...i don't think i would have been inspired by that grey either...i just love Granny Squares''' i wish i knew how to make them....they look so simple yet lovely... but i bet they are not so easy...i can crochet a little...enough to make a very simple scarf... i may have to see if i can figure ut granny squares...you and your green have inspired me..hugs deb
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your pretty daisy blocks! The green just gives it a lift and the colour combo is perfect. Have fun completing your project now... and working your way through that lovely stash too :-)

LOVE the color combination! In my 20s, I started one in light blue/dark blue with white flowers. I remember having a whole bag of squares done, but I don't ever remember joining them. Don't know what ever happened to them. It wasn't nearly as fresh looking as your colors.
ReplyDeleteOooh! Love those daiseys. The green is perfect.
