All finished,blocked and bobbles brushed!
Finally ....
I have finished the shawl I mentioned in my
previous post . I am quite pleased with it and more so because I have been able to use up lots of "bits and bobs" from my stash. A real stash buster!!!!
This first photo shows the real colours. I'm afraid the other photos which I took in another part of the house make it look rather orangey but it is definitely predominately green.
What Yarn did I use? All sorts! As I said "bits and bobs" in fact I think I will call it my B&B shawl.
The pattern is from Esther Sandrof and I found it on Ravelry,
"The Stashbuster Blarf". A delight to crochet!
My version is bigger because I just flung myself into the making of it eager to get on with it and I didn't really pay attention to measurements; so it is big! When I was blocking it I had to be careful not to stretch it too much so as not to make it any bigger.
Big,warm and cosy!
I also made up my own edging and the bobbles to add fluffiness. Why the bobbles? I am not sure really I just fancied a bit of something frivolous. I am planning to use those type of bobbles again because they were fun to make!
The negative side of the B&B shawl. Unfortunately I can't see myself using it not in this climate even in winter. As my heading here implies it is powerfully cosy ...........and warm!!!
keep well
Amanda :-)
