One week shawl !!!!

You had a hint in this post …

I've worked this new shawl just following Sucrette'granny shawl graphic : thank you very much Sucrette!!! It's easy to follow and quite addictive !!!




I've been using a 4mm hook with two strands of yarn ( baker's twine effect! ), crocheting a total of 52 "rounds"….



The main edging is made of picots ( each picot is made of 6 chains ) crocheted in the chain-1 space.
Around the neck I preferred to opt for a very simple idea : I've worked a line of slip stitches all around!









My old friend has modelled it for you to see …





…. what to say or add ?



….. I'm HAPPY !!!!!!!

xxxx Alessandra

    So pretty!
    You really are quick, aren't you?

    I love the way you mix your colours, you really have an eye for it. The combination is quite exotic. Could it be the the influence of Djakarta?

    Wowee wow! This beauty brought my browsing to a screeching stop! I love shawls, and I have to find out more about this truly lovely shawl of yours! I am in love with the WAY you did the double strands. It gives a "heather" sort of look. Did you use black as the second strand throughout the entire shawl? I hope I find the answer here, when I begin to read the post..yep, I am commenting before reading the post. Just had to let you know what a beautiful shawl you'd made asap! Now, I am going to go read how you crafted this. 😄😲

      Hi Maschelle!!!! I love the idea to comment before reading !!!!!! ;oD
      The second strand was purple from the beginning ( used with blue, red and yellow), then it was blue ( used with hot pink, grey, pink and white), then it was b&w for the last 4 rounds!!!!
      thank you for your enthusiastic comment !!!!

    Molto bello Ale e sembra anche pratico, lo vedo bene su cappotti e giacche quando fa molto freddo, qui invece è scoppiato il caldo africano , ma magari in autunno ci penserò a farmene uno : )

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 Indonesia but I al

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 strai

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 single crochet
