Leftovers - Garnreste
Dear friends,
I've
got this box full of started skeins and leftovers.
It's absolutely
perfect to bounce off ideas. I did start fiddling around with the
yarn dreaming of something flowery, but never expected this unreflected bit
of crochet would turn into this:
or
this...
or
this...
or
these...
Haven't
got a clue what I'm going to do with these grannies but they are
making me happy...
I'll
keep in touch!
Liebe Freunde,
ich
habe eine Box voller angebrochener Garnknäuel bzw. Garnreste.
Diese
ist perfekt, um einfach etwas neues auszuprobieren. Ich hatte zwar
vage etwas blumiges im Sinn, als ich mit dem gedankenlosen
Herumspielen anfing. Daher war ich baff, als das dabei herauskam:
Und
das...
und
das...
und
diese...
Ich
habe zwar absolut keine Ahnung, was ich mit den Grannies anfangen
soll, aber sie machen gute Laune...
Ich
halte euch auf dem Laufenden!
I love them! Both the design and the colors!
AntwortenLöschenThank you, Monica. It's fun just to try yet another combination...
LöschenHave a nice week,
Marjan
These squares are beautiful! Are you going to share the patterns! Sure would be nice to have them. Such lovely designs!
AntwortenLöschenSure, I will. Have a lot on my plate at the time though and I definitely must wait till the sun is out again! As you can see the pics are rather dull because of the rain.
LöschenHappy crafting,
Marjan
They look fantastic! And they are making me happy too :-)
AntwortenLöschenPerhaps a new blanket? A cushion or a bag?
Would all be terrific, I really like your flowers!
Take care,
Sigrid
Thank you, dear Sigrid!
LöschenAs I still don't know what to do with these grannies I'm simply making some more...
Happy crafting,
Marjan
Those grannies are just beautiful, I love the color combinations! They would sure make a lovely blanket! Did you use a pattern or just crocheted along? Thank you for sharing at The Really Crafty Link Party! Pinned!
AntwortenLöschenHello Teresa,
Löschenthank you very much! I just crocheted along, no pattern involved. The flowers were rather easy, but it was quite a challenge to turn them into grannies.
Thank you for hosting The Really Crafty Link Party!

Hi, thank you again for sharing this at The Really Crafty Link Party this week! I've featured your post today. Check it out here (http://keepingitrreal.blogspot.pt/2016/05/the-really-crafty-link-party-20-featured-posts.html)! Have a great weekend and I hope to see you back next week!
LöschenMy pleasure! See you next week!
LöschenThose flowery squares are lovely! do you plan to share the pattern(s) with us?
AntwortenLöschenMost of us have those leftovers/bits/scraps of yarn and would love to have a worthwhile use for them!
As the flowery grannies are such fun to make I surely will write the pattern. I've got a lot to do at work though so just be on the lookout, the pattern will follow as soon as possible!
LöschenHappy crocheting,
Marjan

DANKE!!
LöschenMarjan I love that box with all of the colored yarns and leftovers! It looks like such a happy box. Of course you make the prettiest and happy things with that yarn.
AntwortenLöschenHello Mary,
Löschenthis is indeed a happy box, but sometimes it's a frustrating one too (when I keep trying and trying and nothing I try turns out nice).
Have a nice weekend,
Marjan
Hallo Marjan, wow, Du bist so kreativ! Die Flower Grannies sind wunderschoen!!! Ich habe seit Jahren nicht mehr gehaekelt und wuesste glaub' ich auch nicht mehr wie! Vielleicht koenntest Du sie einrahmen, kann ich mir toll vorstellen! So pretty!
AntwortenLöschenHallo Katrin,
Löschendanke, für die schönen Worte. Übrigens, ich hatte eine Häkelpause von ca. 19 Jahren (und dachte auch, ich könne es nicht mehr), aber sobald ich eine Häkelnadel in Händen hielt, lief es wie von alleine, also: Einfach mal trauen!
Schönes Wochenende,
Marjan
Wow, who would've imagine that your skein of leftovers could be imagined up into such beautiful Granny squares. Each and every one is beautiful.
AntwortenLöschenHello Kim,
Löschenthank you very much! There seems to be no limit to the numbers of variations.
Have fun,
Marjan
