now I am crocheting keyhole scarves for one (1) year olds......
I really enjoyed making this set - a request from a special customer.......
Finding the right colour was a bit of a challenge and then making sure a natural fibre yarn carried the colour.............
After some disappointing searching - colour charts on internet not matching the yarn etc. and then even the colour charts with yarn seemed to be a different dye lot and just wouldn't do at all......
patience is a virtue..... they say..........
and yes I managed to find the right yarn .........
I was just searching too soon..... the yarn had just arrived on the shop shelf.......... thank you Rowan by Amy Butler and Rowan Wool Cotton............ a perfect match.
Divine colours and both yarns crochet together perfectly - same tension and weight.
A soft and smooth DK weight yarn - providing warmth and comfort with 50% merino wool and 50% cotton blend. Definitely my new favourite yarn.
As I started crocheting I knew straight away I love this so much........
I must get a couple balls more of a few other colours..........
and yes when I finished the scarf set - I just loved the way it came together - so I made a second set - with a different contrast colour. Just couldn't help myself............
How perfect is that??? now where is that grandchild?
