I spent the time (between checking on the boys; finding snacks, books and toys for them; and cleaning up after a couple of motion sickness moments) hooking up something from this lovely yarn.
I actually bought it from my LYS last year, when I saw the colours and said to myself "You're so coming home with me! YUMMM!", but then failed to do anything with it, being preoccupied with other projects that had a date that they needed to be completed for. Story of my life it seems. Are any of you that way? You have a list of things you want to do, but there are things that are always more pressing to use your precious time with? But I digress...
It was an easy pattern. Last year I saw the Spring Frills Scarf over at Aesthetic Nest, and rather liked the look of it, but I thought it was a little to frilly for me... I'm a bit of a tomboy at times. So I just picked up my hook and started doing my own thing. I liked the way it was looking while the hook was flashing throught the yarn. But now that it is complete, I'm not certain. When I put it on, I rather feel like a clown with a big frill around my neck. Not really my intention. So....
What would you do with it?
1. Wear it as is?
2. Re-work it into something a little less frilly?
3. Start from scratch?
4. Sell it (not that I really want to get rid of this yummy yarn!)?
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Hope your creative spaces are filled with lots of creative juice. If you need a bit of a squeeze, have a look at Our Creative Spaces.
Very pretty! I do love the frills, but I am also not one who feels comfortable wearing lots of frills, LOL.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I have no suggestions, I have to be one of the worst crocheters around, he he.
I would rework it into something else :)

Thanks for your visit over at my blog. I'm not a frilly person usually, but I quite like your scarf. Cx
ReplyDeleteI like the way it looks in both the hanging shots there - perhaps if you wore it so it hangs down rather than wraps around your neck too much you would like it better.
ReplyDeleteIt's very pretty - but if you know you are ultimately not going to wear it then you'd be better to rework it into something you will wear so you can enjoy the yarn.
I think you should wear it as is - you worked hard to make it, show it off! Plus the colours are so pretty :-)

I think it is gorgeous but also would not wear it..not a frilly person either...kind of stumped. For starters you could take loads of photos of it, see how it sells...
ReplyDeleteThose colours really are beautiful, it would be a shame to waste it if you wont wear it. I think I'd rework it too.
ReplyDeleteI say wear it as is! You did a beautiful job and I think the colors are the perfect pop of color for spring. I loved reading your story about going back home...even if you only wandered around the gardens. It's still a magical thing.
ReplyDeletetake care,

love those colours together...perfect for this time of year x
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a wonderful scarf! The colors are perfect, sunny and cheerful, and the delicate yarn is suitable for the warm spring days. Thank you for visiting my turquoise living room!
