It's a Pastel Day

Love these happy stacks of crochet... There are quite a few of these stacks, most of them neatly tucked away in boxes in my little studio... Sometimes I open a box at random and am surprised by what I find... Pieces I had forgotten about... I take a picture and stow them away again... Maybe I should open an Etsy shop after all. ;-)

I'm curious to know what you do with the work you make.

The weather is getting sunny here again and I'm hoping to do a spot of outside crocheting this weekend. Looking forward to that.

Thanks for your visit. Wishing you a lovely day!

    I also like pastel colors. And yes, sometimes i find unfinished things but these usually get back in the closet :-)
    Recently I sent a few grannies to someone who asked for help on FB to quickly create a blanket.
    Hopefully I do not write too many mistakes in English.

    Have a nice day, greetings Tinne

      Je Engels is helemaal prima! Maar we kunnen ook gezellig in het Nederlands kletsen. ;-) Wat leuk om mee te werken aan een deken met/door verschillende hakers! Fijne dag nog!

    Beautiful pastels! I encountered an unfinished project today, not bad actually, but like Tinne's projects; it ended up back in the closet :-O

      Ah yes, it happens... ;-) All those WiP's... But I do believe that even unfinished projects have their purpose, because you learn something from every project. - At least so I hope with my impressive nr. of WiP's! ;-) Thanks for commenting, really appreciated! Lovely day to you.

    I never make anything I am not going to use. Potholders get plenty used in my house and it doesn't take long for them to "look" used and grimy from stains that won't wash out. So I am careful to not make something really pretty for everyday use. I keep a stack of pretties like this to put out when company comes or to use as wall art.

      Thanks for sharing! You're right, a potholder is always a good idea! Thanks and have a lovely day!

    Pretty pastels... I do have a few I shall finish those one day projects, stuffed in bags in various cupboards, though I don't tend to make things without knowing what I shall use them for. My husband may disagree...

      ;-) Thanks for sharing! It's interesting to read everybody has his/her own approach to this issue! Wishing you a lovely day!

    They look lovely. I think we all have some small projects stored away, we don't know what to do with them but we can't part with them either.
    I usually make blankets with matching squares and save the others for potholders or washclothes. :-)

      So true! Thanks for sharing your solution. I'm thinking a mismatched blanket would be a great idea for combining all those small finished projects! A lovely day to you! xh

    Your pastel crochet is beautiful. I'm quite ruthless, if a piece has been around for a while and I haven't found a blanket or other use for it I'll usually rip it out and use the yarn for something else, maybe because I haven't got a lot of space. Hx
