New Yarn and a Sample

Hello crafty friends,
Hopefully you've had a lovely weekend.

Thanks for the kind comments on my last post. In case you were one of the admirers of that mesh bag: Alas! I did not make it myself... I wish! I bought it in Laos, and in case you'd like more information about the materials, and how and by whom it's produced, you can find the website here: Nature Bag.

I thought I'd share this sample with you. Made with this cotton yarn: Limited by Wolcafé which is made in The Netherlands; maybe you have seen it popping up on other Dutch crochet blogs. I just couldn't resist it when I *accidently* came across it. In a yarn shop. ;-)

Originally my idea was to make one big shawl, but I might make a small vest instead. One ball should be enough since it's almost one kilometre of yarn... Either way, I think I'll leave it lying around for a while until real inspiration hits. ;-)

In case you're interested in the pattern for this sample, here's my quick attempt to draw a chart. (The picture below doesn't do justice to the subtile grey of this yarn.)

This evening I hope to finish a few more squares of my polkadot blanket. Did you do manage to do any crocheting last weekend?

 Have a lovely week!

  1. Very nice yarn! I bought one ball when I was at a workshop in the Wolcafe. In my vacation I made a triangle shawl with it. Soon it will be on my blog (when I have time...). I didn't crochet this weekend, but I was working on a wish tree for a wedding party. Also nice to do.

  5. Lovely yarn. I've never thought of it in terms of kilometres before, you've made me think of it in a whole new way! The sample pattern is so pretty, I do wish I could do things like that. No crochet this week, just a little knitting on a scarf. I must be more adventurous next time I start a project. CJ xx

    1. Thanks CJ! The patterns is actually very easy once you get the hang of it. Speaking of being adventurous: I'd really wish I had the guts to finally learn to knit... ;-)
      Happy week! xhaafner
