Coming up Daisies!

I have reverted to a project I started AGES ago this week and all because I found inspiration in a colour of yarn!


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?!

  4. 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.
