I feel like I have betrayed my one true love. I pick up the sticks for the first time in ages to work on some production work and I dropped them a few hours later. That was two days ago and I just realized that I have been crocheting non stop since.
Why, oh why have I turned my back on my first love? I feel so dirty, and yet…
This piece just speaks to me.
Whenever I am crocheting, my mind is free. I am following a path set out by the yarn, twists, turns and curves which all come to me effortlessly. Theus palette is inspired by the magnolia blooms just starting to break forth.
I believe there will be a hat as I am not done with this beautiful fibre. Silk and wool together just excite me. Did I just say that?
And on a completely different note, I spied this on my walk today. Whoever knows what this blossom is, please let me know. The smell was heavenly.
Heavenly, I tell you.
Crochet is actually MY first love! You just can’t get these types of motifs with knitting. Gorgeous work Carmen!
Thanks, both of you. I really do not want to sell it…I am drawn to it. I want to make another one, but somehow it will not be the same.
You made that for me? right? It’s pink and brown, and wool and silk, all my favorties. Whoever gets it will be very lucky!
SQUEE! You DID spin/dye up a fiber version of the magnolia. It’s spot on!! And gorgeous. I dont’ know what the other flowers are, but they are nice. Perhaps an undyed merino/tencel blend?
