CHANEL, ICE CREAM, AND THE FLOWER BED CAL?

Love these Ice Cream colours from Chanel's spring/summer show and the yummy stripes too
l can dream can't l?....long line cardy maybe in another 6 months my midriff was never that good even at 7st!!!
And it's a pity l can't do anything about the 5' nothing height but l do love this outfit so much
The New Year diet going well so far, the box says so anyway lol....2 inches bigger than l am now!

FLOWER POWER...
Still playing with flower patterns and hook sizes
8mm hook and chunky or 2 strands of DK makes a 9" diameter flower so about 70 for a double bed.
 At ONLY 2 flowers a day, it would take just over a month to make a bed cover for a double bed!....not bad although my crochet tension is loose so l will probably stick with the 6mm hook, double wool and still undecided about the pattern to use but something that measures about 9" in diameter...big bed so l'll need about 90 flowers
made a double petal version this morning
Terrible photo so l won't show you but l've made 47 of these flowers in the last few days!
Definitely an addiction

  1. Hi Suz. What a brilliant idea. I've got so many projects on the go at the mo and as you can imagine I am knitting for England so think it best if I opt out this time :-)
