So today I thought since it is so miserable outside I'd break the back of this wall hanging so I can take photo of how it has progressed to the CRUNCH group at midday. All the flowers were knitted or crocheted by all the ladies who CRUNCH (Solihull craft at lunch group) and I just have to get the edges sorted out before I add the leaves and final flowers. There are some very large tulips to be added which I am struggling to incorporate at the moment but I think this may resolve itself when the hanging gets its boundaries.
My favourite bits of knitting are the lavender and my mate Steph made this lovely blackberry. A lot of the patterns for the flowers can be found online at Oddknit. Click on the link for the pansies although I lost the will to live darning in the ends. I will post the hanging when it is finished. Have a good Wednesday - for those who wish to know about WOYWW is all about click on the link - thanks to Julia for hosting.

What a fabulous project - it is certainly going to be stunning when it's all put together. I love that little blackberry, it's so sweet and would look lovely on an autumn piece too. Have a good week

Hi Jackie! Thanks for the comment on my blog! The pig container was made many years ago bij my then 10 year old niece Danielle; it´s a clay flower pot, painted and the ears are made of thin wood and glued on to the flower pot. I love it too, because she made it of course and because we have two pigs!
ReplyDeleteLove your flowers! That is a nice idea for our patio,

Wow! That wall hanging is going to be amazing! Looking forward to seeing the finished article.
ReplyDeleteYes, the blackberry is great.
You're not the only one that hates doing the end bits. I try to do end bits as I go along as much as possible because I hate it too.
Happy WOYWW and thanks for visiting,
Have a great week ahead,
Blessings,
