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! ♦♦♦
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.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow, you had a workshop there, that sounds great. Looking forward to seeing your triangle shawl. Happy week!
DeleteGorgeous yarn, I have the urge to poke my finger into the dark middle! Whatever you will make will no doubt look super, the ombre effect is a stunner! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThanks Magda! I'm still in awe with your Istanbul blanket. Wow!
Deletebeautiful stitch and yarn, Haafner!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think you don't have any problem with inspiration….. so soon we'll see what you are up to!!!!
happy week, xxxxx Ale
Thanks for your kind words Alessandra! xhaafner
DeleteGorgeous yarn, I didn't see it before so thanks for sharing the info and the pictures! Lovely stitch too:)
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day!
Thank you & same to you! xhaafner
DeleteLovely 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
ReplyDeleteThanks 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... ;-)
DeleteHappy week! xhaafner
