During this last week I was working on the shawl for myself and I was crocheting the last floral motif right this morning!!!!
It has been a lovely project to work with. No difficult stitches to crochet and I found it satisfying to join each flower when almost done. I was even good enough to remember to trim in the ends when the new flower was joined to the shawl!!!!
The colours chosen for this soft accessorise were 5, but each row is formed by 16 flowers, so I had to decide for a 6th shade…. For a long while it was orange…
….. but this morning ( I know, it sounds a little bit crazy!) I decided that I didn't like orange anymore, so I cut the previous ones and I crocheted new ones in a delicate green hue ….
…… and I reached the end of my shawl !!!!! Look !!!!
….. If you know me well, imagine what's going on right now ?
A new project, just sketched ……
Happy Weekend, xxxx Alessandra ;oD

that's a pretty motif, makes a lovely shawl. I think the colour swap was a good one. Easier to wear maybe. Enjoy, Heather x
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I also prefer the green much more sophisticated!
ReplyDeleteThank you Zeina!!!!!! ;oD

Hi Ale, the green is beautiful so mutch better than the orange. And a new project " What did the fox said!" Is it a blanket? X Chantal
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty scarf!! And yes I agree, the green is a good match ;-)...
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love your all bordered blanket very much! That yellow finishes it off so nicely... well done!!
Have a great weekend, love from Mirjam.
Thank for all your likings Mirjam!!
DeleteHappy weekend, xxxxxxxxxx Ale
What a beautiful scarf. I like the colors and think that it's good wearable without the orange ones. I really like orange but with the colors you used it's great. Wishing you a lovely weekend with you're loved ones. Love from Tinie
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful Ale. I like the pale green color that you chose - it blends in nicely. Have a great day. :)
ReplyDeletethank you so much Debi !!!!!
Deletehappy weekend, xxxxxx Ale
Nice job Ale! I liked the orange, but like the green even better; good call! Can't wait to see more on your new fox project!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

Grazie Maria Luisa, sei davvero molto gentile!
ReplyDeleteBuon fine settimana, xxxxxxx Ale
So lovely! You are so quick with your crochet, and it is always beautiful!

A me piace molto la nuova versione,con il verde...si armonizza meglio...Poi ,si sa,é sempre questione di gusti!Brava brava,pure tu stai crochettando alla grande eh!Buona domenica!
ReplyDeleteHa I went through the same with the Moroccan throw - had three shades of orange in there and after 6 squares decided to ditch the orange. Good call! Your shawl is a winner!!!
ReplyDeletethank you Magda!!!!!
DeleteNow I need a cold place to wear my new shawl………!!!!!! ;oD
xxxxxxxx Ale
Your new shawl is stunning and so stylish, Ale! the colour change was definitely the right thing to do. I love the lacy pattern....your crochet is always amazing!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
Helen xox
you know: i love colours, but i prefer the second version. the shawl looks really cozy♥♥♥
ReplyDeletenice weekend, my dear!!
xxxo, Martina
I love colours, too, as you know very well!!!! ;oD
DeleteIt was a good challenge to try something different!!!!! I'm quite happy with it!!!
xxxxxxxxxxxx Ale
Wow, what a difference the green makes, the colours sing together now. Lovely pattern too. Have a great weekend, Tracey xx
ReplyDeleteSuper Mooi !
ReplyDeletepretty ale!! and i see a fox!
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty and I can just imagine you snuggled up in it, a change every now and then is good for you! :) x
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely shawl. I like the green colour a lot, but orange would have been all right as well. Not that terrible after all.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the making off.
Sometime, in a very far future, when time will be no problem, I'll try to make one myself, but before that I'll have to start on your special blanket (the one I 've written about on my blog and I've been wanting to make for ages)
Have a nice sunday! How is the weather over there? Is it Always good or does it change from time to time?
Hi Brigitte !!!!
DeleteOrange or green, at the end it's only a question of taste. I love orange, but that particular hue was not of my taste!!!!! ;oD
Now it's late afternoon in JK ant it's sunny. This morning , instead, was raining a lot!!! Crazy weather !!!!
xxxxxxx Ale
Your brain must be in overdrive all the time and your hands working overtime. I can barely get a dishcloth crocheted most days. :) Have a good week. Tammy
ReplyDeleteCiao Ale ! Che lavoro veloce e carino, stai facendo molti scialli, uno più bello dell' altro . Io preferisco la versione con il verde , che è anche di una bellissima tonalità , l 'arancione lo userei poco, ma come dici tu è sono una questione di gusti . Sono curiosa di sapere a che altro stai lavorando, io ho ripreso in mano i pennelli e ho le mani in pasta su diversi lavori ! Oggi però mi sono dedicata al giardino .
ReplyDeleteSpero che la tua domenica sia trascorsa bene !Un abbraccio e a presto
Maddalena
Bellissimo, Alessandra! (that's my best Italian, hehe!). The colours worked out great - it's lovely to make something for yourself for a change - enjoy it!!
ReplyDeleteAlison x
I like both versions, with the orange and with the green, but the right version is obviously the one you'll wear most :)
ReplyDeleteDear Ale,
ReplyDeleteYou asked me for a translation button in my blog.
I had one at first, but I didn't work. Especially for you I put on a new one.
Could you please try it out and let my know whether it is doing its job?
It looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAle, this is so beautiful! I loved the pop of orange but the sweet green is a nice elegant touch too. Changes the shawl's personality!
ReplyDeleteps -- you were wise to weave in the ends as you go -- I try to do that too so that the end isn't a bear! :)
Amy
Beautiful colours that scarf ... sure that orange. All my color!
ReplyDeleteAnd your photos are also nice.
I'm looking forward to your new project.
Thank you my dear!!!!!
Delete….next project will be ready soon, some sneak peaks will be posted briefly in the week!!!
xxxxxx Ale
