I don't know if you have done some (or just one! ;oD) embellished granny squares from my tutorial, but in case, I would love to show you what I did with mine!!!
I took all 3 of them and with a pom pom maker ( the small one), I did 9 (you can do less, more or none at all!!!) little and colourful pom poms
I decided even to add a yarn doll ( HERE the instructions!) ....
I had in mind a vertical garland, so I started to join (using knots) the pieces from the bottom-up, and the first elements were the yarn doll, one pom pom and one of the embellished grannies
As you can see from the above picture and the following one, the red pom pom seems the wig of the yarn doll!!!!
Then I collected other 3 pom poms to join (knotting the tails in the back, as I let pass them in the corners of the granny squares) the last granny to the 2nd one...
At this point I joined the first granny to the one in the middle, with the help of other 3 pom poms
Last touch : on the top of the corner of the first granny, I simply knotted a red velvety ribbon ( I made a loop big enough to hang the garland somewhere!) and the last 2 pom poms left
The garland can dangle from a chest of drawers
or from a bookcase, for example
...this is where I like it most!!!

Oh the yarn doll brings back memories! My mother used to make them when we were small. I remember a pumpkin, a ghost, a Santa, and a snowman. Thank you for helping me remember :)
ReplyDeleteSooooo colourful! :) x
ReplyDeleteA vertical garland....why not?
ReplyDeleteThose pom poms are so cute Ale, like yummy sweets.
Your granny squares are lovely and colourful too.
Your parcel arrived today....thankyou so much for all the lovely things you added. It was such fun opening it up and your crochet glass covers are lovely. Beautifully made. Still find it hard to believe, I was seeing them on your blog over in JK and now they are here in my home!!
