Over the last months I've been obsessing - juuuust a bit - over classic, lacy patterns. I love to give them a - hopefully ;-) - contemporary twist. If you are on Instagram you might have seen some of them already.
Oh! Before I forget... Personally I'm really in love with my Jord Wood Watch. If you like this timepiece too, I've got some good news: I've teamed up with the people from Jord to bring you a give-away, yay! Just leave your first name and email address here (click!) for a chance to win a $100 coupon, and ALL other entries will receive a $20 coupon. That what I call a win-win!
(If you scroll all the way down this page you'll also find a button that brings you to the Jord website to see all their models.)
And here's the same crochet pattern, worked in different colours.
I love it by the way when the Airbnb apartment where I'm staying is photogenic. :-)
The original pattern is from a Spanish crochet magazine titled Creaciones de Ganchillo (#12), however, as per usual, I made some modifications along the way. I just like to personalise a pattern. ;-)
For both pieces I've just the eco-friendly cotton DMC Natura. It's an ideal match with this type of work, I think.
That's all I have for now... Thanks so much for your kind visit and I hope to back here soon. Wishing you a lovely and colourful day!
Great to see this post from you, filled with excellent inspiration! Your color variations on the same crochet design really do indicate just how effective it can be to update a traditional pattern. Both the warm and the cool combinations look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks also for the tip on the cotton yarn.
Your watch is very stylish, but I will keep on wearing my own little treasure. Isn't it funny how many folks don't even wear watches any more...relying on smartphones, or asking for time advice from others?
Best wishes.
it's so lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work!
ReplyDeleteI am just smitten with your doilies! I love the idea of updating patterns and using modern yarn - I plan on doing this with my linen threads, too! Chrissie xxx
