Guest Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) I started a scarf for Ian before Christmas and while the main bit is finished, i still haven't got round to adding tassles but i bought some lovely wool on Saturday and a pattern book for beginners and was determined to finish something! I've just finished this scarf in treble crochet with a flower at each end and I'm pretty pleased with it http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=7707266&l=29c089711b&id=568396756 Edited January 18, 2011 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 hen, your avatar has just inspired me! I'm going to crochet some squares, fold them corner to corner, add fabric wattles/beak and a crocheted bunch of tail feathers, stuff them and sew them up!

Guest Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Flowers are clever Poet. I made this one today with help from my mum, http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=7731888&l=acb3104a99&id=568396756 it was done 'in the round' and i found it tricky but i think if i practice it I can get them a lot neater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Beautiful. What about a coloured wooden bead in the middle Did you see the crochet flower bunting on the site that Egluntyne linked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Beautiful. What about a coloured wooden bead in the middle Did you see the crochet flower bunting on the site that Egluntyne linked. thank you! good idea! I haven't seen it yet, don't s'pose you have a link? Just finished a scarf for my hubbie that i started ages ago and a friend suggested it would look nice for a girl with flowers on so I'm making some flowers to add to it and keeping it for myself! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=7732607&l=7cf202a3a5&id=568396756 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 thanks bit late if he doesn't! shall i attach them like this... http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=7733038&l=a6c9fee0d4&id=568396756 or like this... http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=7733040&l=9fb068ede7&id=568396756 or any other suggestions? maybe just one big flower at each end? I'm not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 If it was me I'd just put them where I felt was pleasing to me. So my choice would be the second. They really show off well against the dark scarf and love the way you've put some colour in the tassels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I think I agree it's finished! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=7738940&l=d895abe3ba&id=568396756 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 It looks good - I bet it's satisfying to have it finished! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleTree Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 That scarf's fab. I really want to learn to crochet now. Maybe it'll be my project for this year I have done simple blankets in the past with help from my mum, fancy doing something like those flowers though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 thanks ladies Re the flowers, i couldn't follow the pattern on my own, i had to get my mum to show me but now that she has, i'm getting the hang of it, i think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
