Tinkering with yarn, making something pretty

It's so cold and snowy, you would think it's winter! Last Sunday it was 67degrees. 

Have not been out, and have no intention of doing so, it's 15 today.

Worked the hook a little bit this weekend, and ended up with these lovelies.

It is a centerpiece for a vintage doily. 

How pretty these would be as an applique to a pillow, or as a centerpiece for a doily, maybe a necklace or pin, a mandala.

I have many thread colors, and so I'll be adding to these, they work up very quickly and the pattern is not difficult. 

They have not been blocked or steamed. One is a tad smaller than the other. I especially like how the layers flow to give it texture. I think 2 a day is the limit, but even at that I can get a rainbow of colors to brighten the day.

This one is my own design which I told you about previously. I went off the rail and still didn't get the pattern written down. I find that rather difficult to do, stop and write. I'll remember ?

Not so much, but if I take the time I can recreate it.  

Tinkering with yarn, making something pretty

 OK..all you gals my age remember Tom Jones....
MY MY MY.......... Medallion Doily.....
Do you remember the song?
MY MY MY........?

Hee Hee a little Tom Jones lingo there!

I have no idea where the idea of TJ came from....Oh well we'll roll with it anyway.



Well this worked up so quickly. 

I had just enough stash, it's quite colorful no?

I found hoop at Micheals, I think that I will display it as a wall decoration. 

Because of the center rose, it cannot be displayed from the back side, not as pretty.

I don't want to go haywire and make a thousand of them. But it was a nice simple joy to move my hook and use crochet thread, rather than yarn.

Do any of you shop at AC Moore? 

They don't carry crochet thread??????????

What is that all about?

Well, maybe it's good, as then I'll use what I have before I buy one more. I have a pretty nice selection maybe about 10 skeins,it really is enough to make just about anything with.

I enjoy working with the thread. And will for a time...and then the yarn will come back out, and the bigger hook and give my eyes a rest.

I think we are going the hoop way....the hoop is silver metal, and so. I'll get some white of preferably off white spray paint, it will make a better finished product. When that part is done. I will afix the doily to the hoop. 

Have a wonderful day!

Could be a better picture...I'll show and tell again when it's all done.

For Pretty Crochet Potholders

 

 

 

Greetings ! Welcome! 

Today, keeping light hearted and fanciful!

Hope your 4th of July was full of Patriotism, Parades & Picnics.

A few "vintage" style crochet potholders I'll be sharing with you today. Love these little darlin's, but they are for pretty, not for function. 

I made the one on the left & right, the middle one was a gift from a blogger friend from days gone by, her blog is still up, but she's not posted in awhile.Crochet Galore,

 

I have a special fondness for those with the Irish Crochet Rose in the center...so lovely. 

 

 

Have a Beauty!
