Still experimenting...this one is mixing textures together..chunky 2 strands DK 6mm hook in the centre and Hot sock yarn and 4mm hook on the edges
a few more squares...again a mix of texture acrylic centre and sock yarn on the out side
and stars too...
Just not happy with the very subtle and to me, dark sock yarn, l feel the need to add splashes of bright colours
Do you remember the March Holiday project again influenced by Sophie Digard but l used
100% Merino and a tiny hook but slightly brighter colours
more me l feel but l will persevere with the sock yarn and keep mixing it with a few brights see if it appeals more
These too are more me for colour...
the lime green a big favourite of mine is silk......search party needed to find this project hiding some where in my craft room....wish me luck it could be any where lol
Thanks for the house repairs good wishes the plaster has almost completely dried over the weekend
so painting and wallpaper next but not sure when Midlands Restoration will be back to finish the repairs...the bit l hate the waiting
Have a Soothing Sunday everyone
hugs x
I like the style of the motifs in the second picture. But you're right, they need more COLOUR. Muted can be nice, but it's a little bit boring at times!
ReplyDeleteI've recently been inspired by Gustav Klimt. I haven't actually put anything into action yet, but I think some of his works of art would translate to a crochet bedspread quite nicely.

I saw some of these today in the flesh at Ally Pally show. The pale ones were equally beautiful, although I usually lean to darks.
ReplyDeleteMy favorites are the 2nd squares set tight together. I like the muted colors. Sometimes life calls for soft tones.
