Happy Crochet♡

Hello lovely lovelies♡ A beautiful Sunday morning, welcome to you♡ 'Tis a sunny morning here. A lazy day ahead to do whatever I please. I hope you enjoyed a pleasant week. I did. 'Twas another week of summery days to soak in.

As Into the Woods is now a flimsy I picked up my crochet again. When I last chatted about my crochet pretty I was unsure about the sizing. I thought my jumper might be wider than longer; not so. It's a little longer with the addition of the shoulder tabs. I crocheted two large granny squares; one for the front and the other for the back. As my crochet hook and woolly yarn do-si-do-ed around the large granny squares, interlocking loops of yarn as I went, I just kept holding the pieces against me to determine the  size. I know, a thoroughly  higgledy piggeldy, let-it-happen kinda approach to determine the finished size. Again, flying by the seat of my pants! I crocheted five rows of a lovely darker blue around  the coloured granny square for a border. I also crocheted four rows for the shoulder tabs. It's such a lovely shade. It reminds me of a french blue. I used the blue also for the tabs at the shoulders. YouTube came to the rescue to help me figure out how to shape the neckline. But, oh my goodness, I must admit it took a few attempts. After shaping the neck I then crocheted a scalloped edging. I like the soft look of the scalloped neckline rather than a ribbed one. The neckline is more of a boat neck look, but that's okay. The shoulder seams are joined together with slip stitches.

I've had a lovely time snapping happy snaps of my crochet pretty.......and flowers. Flowers enhance.....well......everything, don't you think??  They certainly make for a pretty picture. =) Oh, I do love to play 'stylists'. =)

The crochet bag in some of the photos was gifted to me by my lovely friend, Michelle. She of course crocheted it with her magical fingers. It's so, so pretty. It's a fabulously spacious, fit-all-your-worldy-possessions-in-it, kinda bag! Wish oh wish she was here at my little place to keep me on the straight and narrow, woolly crochet path. She could set me right with all my li'l crochet foibles. But she's not, so I will just keep on keeping on, muddling my way along  the crochet path. 

A tangly, puddley mess of woolly threads to be sewn in!

I rather love my granny square pretty as a vest......but I'll begin the sleeves and see how my pretty looks. The fabulous thing about crochet is it's so easy to unravel. So much easier than knitting. 

Thank you, lovely lovelies for visiting my little place, and taking the time to read my 'stuff and nonsense'♡ Now to work on the sleeves. I look forward to partying with some of you over at Kathy's place later this evening.  Have a wonderful day♡ I'm off to enjoy a li'l happy crochet; and take some time to smell the roses♡

Until the next time......
