My little stack of grannies is surely and steadily growing and I now have enough for the front of my cushion cover..whoop whoop!! I've made a start on the back, I'm going for one big Granny...how much fun are they to make.
I've been asked a couple of times about the yarn that I using...it's Drops Muskat and it is so lovely and soft. I do love cotton, but I have to say it was a bit of a challenge initially as I found that it did split quite easily, but I'm finding the more experienced that I am getting, the less I am doing this.
It does come in a gorgeous range of colours as you can see here and whoops..some more just happened to find their way in to my shopping basket last night...I really must show some constraint I think! Whilst I wait for it to arrive, let me share a few more pictures with you......
Let me introduce you to Mr Collared Dove.... yes I know that is not very exciting........
however look....can you see......
Your squares look lovely Sarah!! I really like your colour combinations. I hope that Mr and Mrs Dove appreciate the nesting material that you have supplied!!! xx
ReplyDeleteOh I do love upcycling my yarn ends with the birdies! They look very lovely in your garden...and the cushion is coming along a treat! Chrissie x
ReplyDeletehello! oh it's lovely, I taught myself crochet last year and managed 2 big granny squares...I need to get back into it but have now forgotten how to start haha! Good thing we have You Tube :)
ReplyDeleteLove the crocheted work. We have very similar doves (mourning doves), but they are the laziest nest builders around. Two or three sticks in the crook of a tree and they're done! Sometimes they lose the entire nest to a strong wind. I do like the doves though, and we have quite a few in our yard. Wendy x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of the dove. Your crochet looks great x
