About a promise and crochet...

You might or might not remember that there was one thing
I never ever wanted to crochet.
A potholder.
Or so I thought when I first learned to crochet...

Well - unless you're new to this blog,
you know I didn't keep that promise to myself.
Not quite.

There was one other thing of which I thought:
Not in this life.

And there you are.
A tea cosy...

So much for principles, hey?
Enjoy your weekend!
(With a nice cup of tea perhaps?)

    He jakkes, ik dacht dat ik ook nooit never echt niet een teacosy ging maken. Na deze gezien te hebben wil ik niet alleen een teacosy maar wil ik ook een emaile theepot. Wat doe je me aan? :)
    En hoewel ik het jullie van harte gun, het mooie weer dat vandaag voor Nederland is voorspeld....ik zie wel groen van jaloezie. Hier stormt en regent het. Grrrr.
    Een fijne zonnige zondag.

    And so we loose our principles along the way ;-)
    Very pretty.

    Well, I must say I quite like certain crocheted potholders.
    For instance my own design.. .;-)

    I always said to myself that I would never ever crochet a granny square...
    But now I am no so sure anymore.
    What else can one do with left over yarn?

    Beautiful creations! I love your pictures. Do you always work with pastels? I have never seen them all combined so beautifully.

      Wow - that's very kind, thank you! For the last months I have been working with mostly (or only...?) pastels, it's true. Although at the moment I have a small, quite bright project on my hook!

    Jeetje wat mooi, mag ik vragen met welk garen of jij haakt en welke haaknaald of je gebruikt. Super zo met de kleurtjes. Heb er één gehaakt met HOOKED garen en dan gewoon vasten en dat is een beetje een stoere theepot geworden. Ik haak meestal maar met één kleur, maar deze kleuren zijn gewoon heel lief en schattig!!

    Groetjes,
    Ina
