If you mix together....

....two different tutorials, what will happen as a result? You'll discover it in few seconds!!

Thanks to Jacquie at Bunny Mummy, I've learned to crochet some sunburst granny hearts (here)....!!!
I made even some yarn dolls (a group of five!) following my tutorial (here)....!!!
What happened next?
I started to line up the hearts first


and then I added the yarn dolls!!!


From my drawer full of ribbons, I cut out a couple of meters from my jute ribbon reel and I started to make it pass trough each heart, alternating a knotted yarn doll...

One knot and one bow for the ladies


and a double knot for each boy, instead!


I've alternated a boy with a girl...


...and this is the outcome...TA-DAH...!!!! A Yarn dolls & granny hearts bunting!!!!



...Some more detailed pics....



I love it!!! It's so colourful and eye-catching...!!!! Maybe I'll do some more...even because this is an easy and quick project!!!



Even this week I'll join Welcome to Craft Schooling Sunday ! Come with me!!!

See you soon, xxxxx

    What a joyous garland! I remember those yarn dollies from when I was a little one. My aunt made them for us!

    Thanks for the memories Alessandra, and I hope you're having a lovely Italian vacation! Be safe.

    Wow, I haven't seen these little men in years! I used to always be making them, along with Pom poms, alas that is where my woolly crafty ways end! I literally have 2 left hands, one day I may make my very own granny square! Ada :)

Make it ! Knitted triangular scarf !!!

Last December, I saw a very simple and cute scarf knitted by Angie ( le monde de sucrette) and I thought to knit one for me, too, but then I was busy with the gifts to prepare for family and friends back in Italy .... so nothing was done for me!!! Luckily, some days ago, while browsing through my blogs list, I found a post from Ilaria ( IDA interior lifestyle) , who was proposing the same (she added a pompom!) piece of clothing .... I didn't have any excuse to wait longer for knitting my own triangular scarf!!!! ;oD So, I started .... Do you want to start one, too ??? Well, you need : some yarn ! My personal choice was : Lana Grossa Basics Calmo (59% acrylic, 24% cotton and 17% linen), shade 207. All my 4 balls of yarn (50g each) have been used for this project. Then 2 balls (50g each) from Rowan Classic Cotton Jeans Yarn (100% cotton), shade 365-Sierra, for both stripes and tassels! a pair of 4,5mm  knitting circular needles or, if you prefer, a pair of long ...

Make it ! The Granny Yarn Chain !!!

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS ???? SURE YOU ARE !!! I now that!!!! ;oD So during this last week I was showing you via Instagram (see  my personal feed ) some colourful pictures about my new crochet w.i.p. , which I completed last night ... ... so this morning, before school/office time a couple of boys helped me with the last photos for this blog post ... TA-DAH ... The beauty of this project resides in the fact that is adaptable to any extent, any kind of yarn and any corner of your home (in or out!) !!! The inspiration and "creative kick" derives from two other projects I've seen around :  The Chain Statement Necklace  by my dear friend Miki from  Set Free My Gypsy Soul  and  Peggy's Comfy Indoors Blanket  by Pip Lincoln from  Meet Me at Mike's  !!! Thank you both, girls !!! It has been a long time since I've been wanting to crochet (or even knit !) a paper chain ... I made some long paper chains for our Christmas tree back in ...

Make it ! The Granny Bunny !!!

You know, this picture from my  Instagram feed  has collected more than 900 likes ... ... and a colourful crocheter named Karin @woolfieber , made her own version just looking at my pic (you can find her work  HERE  ) !!!! My idea, since the beginning , was to prepare a photo tutorial for you, but do you really need one ? These Granny Bunnies are so easy to crochet, believe me !!!! YOU NEED : some colourful mercerised cotton a 3,5 mm hook a pair of scissors a tapestry needle beads for embellishments (optional) Please note that I follow the US crochet terminology, thank you ! Each bunny measures 13 cm in height and it can be used for different purposes : bunting, hanging decorations, appliques, brooches, on napkin rings and more !!!! The sky's the limit !!! You can use this pattern even with different yarns and, consequently, hook sizes !!! ;oD Abbreviations : DC = double crochet ch = chain SC = single crochet 2SCtog = 2...
