…. a new shawl ….
…. no bright colours, but very soothing ones…. not my usual choice, I know….
I have to crochet (we'll see then, even because the centre of the flowers is not as the pattern dictates!) 4 stripes of 16 flowers each….
The book, where the inspiration comes from, is this one ….
…. and the pattern that made me say "awwwww!" is the following ….
In the meantime, my blanket is getting bigger and bigger…..
P.S. : Milena got inspired by the same pattern!!!!
…. since the previous show off, I've crocheted 12 stripes of shells!!!!!! ;oD
xxxx Alessandra

It's a color bomb your blanket, love it! And I do love the colors for your scarf, little bit icy colors.
ReplyDeletewoww allesandra, what are you a nice shawl!! and your blanket is truly a picture ♥
ReplyDeleteWhaw! Clever that you can read chinese! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe scarf becomes beautiful! I'm sure!
Have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteA very chic shawl shawl in the making, i can see it's potential. Nice to have the choice of calm and energizing projects! Heather x
I can imagine the choice of colors for your shawl, because working on your blanket (so beautiful) your eyes needs a more calm project, haha. But I am sure this becomes a shawl you will wear often. byebye
ReplyDelete@ Jenneke : thank you!!! you are too kind!! ;oD

@ Onlie Mie : Oh, I'm not able to read Chinese or Japanese, but the crochet charts on these books are really good to follow!!!
ReplyDeletexxxxxx Ale
@ Franciens : I think your thinking is right!!!!! ;oD
ReplyDeletexxxxxx Ale
trying something new is always good, your shawl looks really noble.

Thats a coincidence!!! Yesterday I was thinking I'd like to make another shawl for myself ....although that is a bit of a joke....for myself indeed I bet by the time I finish it it'll have another destination! I've been mozzing around on blogland looking for a pattern. There are so many delicious patterns out there! I think the colours you have chosen are very wise as they go with a lot of other colours. The blanket ....what can I say but fabulous!
ReplyDeletekeep well

@ Martina : thank you my dear!!!!
ReplyDeletexxxxxx Ale
Your blanket is gonna be a pretty one!With all those lovely colors!And your shawl is also looking great...and I love the colors also..changing colors some times is not a bad idea! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour blanket must look like having a rainbow in your room!
ReplyDeleteLove the shades of your new scarf, that will be a beauty!
Have a lovely day Ale!
Thank you Andree'!!!! I know that the blanket is very bright and maybe I need some colours balance, so that's why the shawl is less dramatic!!!
Deletehappy week to you, xxxxxx Ale
I love the colors for your scarf! I'm curious to see the result.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shawl! I think you need some grey to relax after all those amazing bright colours! Love your foxy banner, so sweet!
ReplyDeleteAdoro scialli e coperte ,per cui mi piace tutto quello che stai facendo!Buon lavoro!:-)
ReplyDeleteI like the colors you chose for your shawl - they're basic, classic colors that can be worn anywhere. :)

How lovely two have two wips which are completely different colourwise. I always think it's nice to swap one project for another sometimes - depending on your mood.
ReplyDeleteAll best! Haafner
