Rainbow Granny Bunting

Well, I just haven’t had this much fun in a lonnnng time–and then to have the results turn out oh, soooo adorable!!  Huge, unexpected plus.

What started out yesterday as an enormous pile of granny triangles—became magically transformed…

into the sweetest little bunting I’ve ever seen in my livin’ life—with just few more stitches to link them all together.

Last week, I searched the crochet universe until just the perfect triangle caught my eye over at Crochet With Raymond. It was love at first sight I tell you!

After a few days of crocheting these fun little Grannies I found the perfect way to link them together over at Carina’s Craftblog.

 

I love this thing so much I can hardly stop taking pictures of it. Like having a celebrity living in the building. Now all we need is to throw a party to celebrate this sweet little work of art.

And so I can hang it up and just stare at it for a few days.

Color School

It only took a week or so–sheesh–to pick out and gather the perfect colors for another project in the works. I’m not so good at figuring out all the modern color ways yet, but I have lots of help so I can’t stray too far from the straight and narrow. I’m still in the midst of choosing…

Oh, and by the way–I wouldn’t think of using that dreadful lavender or that incredibly wrong maroon…apparently highly un-stylish. The light blue is also out.

Who knew? This silly “old dog” is definitely learning some new tricks.

I’ll admit though, it’s kinda fun putting these pretty brights together and getting a feel for what works and what–ahemdoesn’t these days. This sweet little project is nearly finished and I’m soooo excited to show it to you, but not yet! Soon, soon.

Be brave–

I think, I hope you’ll love it. And maybe…just maybe, you’ll want one too. And THAT, my friends, can be arranged. Hee hee.

A Little Help…

Oh, sure–I have a busload of other projects that need doing but fact is, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this scrumptious little baby ripple project…for that “certain” baby.

I’m trying out the stripe generator for the first time, so that I can get a feel for working with random colors. It’s kinda fun–in a wild sort of way–to let the computer tell me yarn to use next. This way, if it turns out a hideous waste, then of course it would be the computer’s fault. If, on the other hand, it turns out to be the most beautiful thing on earth, well then, it will be entirely MY doing. I sure you see my logic.

:}

Now then, my friends…I’d like your opinion. My wise and all knowing daughter picked out a handful of lovely, trendy colors for this particular project and I’m having trouble deciding whether to use all 6 or not.

What do you think? With the yellow?

or without?

You know, if it were up to me, I’m just old school enough to think all colors need to be baby pastels, but I’m surrounded by brilliant, modern folk who are educating me on the finer art of color blending. It’s scary, unbroken ground, but I’ll tough it out and hopefully be wiser in the end.

So help me…please.

Yellow? No yellow? White? No white?

I’m terrifically stumped…

but I’ll wait patiently for your reply.

Well, until the cookies run out at least.
