I just love colourful crochet shawls!

Hello, my dear blog friends,


Good to see you back here! And a hearty welcome to my newest followers, you are very welcome and I value your input and comments, and appreciate your time!

Today I want to do a review post, one that looks back at some of my previous makes.

As you can see from the title, I just love colourful shawls. You might have noticed this before. It just struck me when I wrote my last two posts, and I warned you to wear your sunglasses!!!

Afterwards I thought to myself, wouldn't it be fun, if I took a look at some of my shawls and took some photos. So that is what I did! And I really enjoyed it, looking at all that colour together.

And the naughty cats proceeded to walk, no run and skid, across my shawls which meant I had to lay them all out properly once again.

So here they are, some of my colourful shawls, most of them are for the summer. Enjoy!

Here is a striped Crocodile Stitch Scarf I made some time ago (love how the stripes match up)

Here you can see that my colourful South Bay Shawl really steals the show, it is huge!

If you want to find out more about any of these shawls, just click on the right side bar on the tag called 'Shawl' and it will bring up all the posts that I tagged like that!

Obviously I forgot some, like the Tahiti Shawl I made last summer, it must be somewhere else...

And of course there are the two woollen South Bay Shawls which are draped over my chair where I sit, I didn't include them in the picture because there wouldn't have been enough floor space!

It makes me very happy to think that I got all these shawls waiting for me, that I can pick and choose which one to wear, according to my fancy! And to know, that they are unique, that I made them myself, also fills me with pleasure and joy!

I think this is something we all got in common, when we make things for ourselves and others - it brings joy to the maker and to the wearer.



Hope you liked this post, feel free to leave your comments, it's always great to hear from you!

Have a nice weekend!

My Neon Waves Summer Scarf

Hello, lovely to see you!


Thanks for your visit here, I know you probably would rather sit in the garden with a cool drink and some fun crochet than spend time on the internet reading blog posts! What? You are actually sitting in the garden, reading this for a moment, whilst nestling your crochet on your lap and sipping from that delicious cool drink?

Congratulations, I admire you for your brilliant multi tasking!!! Well done!!! ;)

Here is something new for you!


Neon Waves Summer Scarf


Well last week I found 4 x balls of lovely bright mercerised cotton by Schoeller & Stahl or should I say it found me? Anyway, I instantly knew what I wanted to make from it!

I wanted to make one of these wavy patterns, where the stitch size varies, goes up and down again to create soothing waves.

So I came up with this!





Rhubarb and Custard?

I started on Tuesday evening, sitting on my balcony with Jasper the cat who helped me with my crochet. In fact he got pretty protective of this project since...




Deciding on my first two colours

Making Waves!

Ooh, colour number 4 now...

Making good progress

This is what I am hoping that the scarf will look like!

In case you are wondering - I laid the scarf in layers to simulate how it should look, my computer still hasn't learnt how to crochet!

I just seem to love scarves and shawls! And I can't help myself with starting new projects!!!

What is your favourite summer project? I better let you get back to it now...

Happy crocheting!!!
