Granny's shawl 2016

I have always wanted a granny-like shawl to put on my shoulders when the nights get cool on summer time. So, I decided to crochet one.

 

Pattern is adapted from here

Dragonflies and diamonds

Sunday. Need to do something. Idea.  Excecution. Dragonflies, diamonds, piece of wood.

Yep, yep.

Happy crutches 😊

I will be walking with crutches for a little while. I felt that they need a bit of color ... A little legwarmer.

Maybe two?

Four?

More color and joy .... Flowers!

Be happy with crutches!!!!

Octopussy for premature babies

I broke my achilles tendon a week ago. Now I am stuck with crutches and no sports, ballet, dance for weeks to come... Awful! ... But - positive news - time for crocheting .... Something meaningful.... Octopussies for premature babies who need something to grab on, instead of vital tubes that keep them alive. This is a crowd-crocheting initiative launched by a Finnish hospital. I feel useful! Again.

My daughter made a Blue one. I made a green one. Growing the Family.

One more in yellow.

Easter egg project

hmmmm... A case of eggs .. Filled with chocolate ...

Maybe a girl with a crochet beanie would be cool ...

Easter without Minions would also be boring ...

Lonely cowboy....

The more the merrier!

Scarf in pastel shades

Spring is in the air and I needed something to do on our way back home from Lapland few weeks ago. So I started crocheting.... A scarf.

With my cat Rosa we were discussing how long it should be.

Done. Ready to wear!

The pattern.
