Wizz Aran mesh scarf and a granny shrug in the making...

Looks like the Wizz Yarn has been around for a while I found, when I started to look on Ravelry for yarns.....118 projects in the making it seems!

My scarf is a just a few rows short of being finished, just want to match up the ends a bit better.

I had planned on playing with the yarn, trying s few different patterns to see which worked best.

A Granny square was one of them....to be made into a shrug.

I thought it might work as a granny but when i saw this Giant Granny made in the same colour Wizz Aran by.....

Mesh Scarf Pattern

US terms

ch39.

Row 1: htr, in each st. (39sts)

Row 2: 3tr, ch3, 3tr ch3, repeat to end finish with 3tr.

Row 3: repeat row 1, htr in every st. and 3htr in ch3 sp.

Row 4: repeat row 2, tr, on top of tr of 2 rows below and ch3 between.

continue to repeat rows 1 and 2 until the length required

Don't you just love the ease of a random dyed yarn, no ends to deal with, well almost none.

My scarf is about a ball...200grams. and I used a 4mm hook not a 5mm as recommended.

HAPPY HOOKING ALL

Wizz Aran a supermarket buy

Not a bad yarn either...

Tried a few pointed petal flowers and a treble mesh stitch.

And i have added a few more flowers to the round petal piece.

A very similar pattern.

4mm hook and not the 5mm hook advised though.

A treble, treble with hdc inbetween.

Happy New Year to you all

Sorry for the delay in posting, i've been trying to do this post for 3 days now.....do I need a new laptop?

 

For 2014 I am going to choose a different inspiration.

January 2014 is Aboriginal Art....a collection of pictures has been added to a folder on Pintrest here

and a quick play with an idea yesterday to start me off.

 

Happy Hooking to all in 2014

 

Just a little Christmas Crochet

A Linen mix to go with my Christmas Holiday outfits....

tried to make a blue bag before i went away, but didn't manage to finish, so i took some Linen/cotton mix with me to make something while in Lanzarote for Christmas.

Using the same motif design..
Popcorn flower HERE

had to make something to wear as my luggage would have been over the weight limit coming back.

as I bought a kilo of yummy cotton yarn...and only 2.50 euros for a 100grms.

next time I will bring back lots more...such a great price and so many gorgeous colours too.

hope you all had a fantastic Christmas

hugs xx

Crochet Christmas Decorations or a Shawl motif?

I had 5 minutes to play yesterday....

Christmas Decorations, but they would join together as a pretty colourful Shawl I think.
