Many thanks to Wendy for inviting us round not just once this month but twice!
We have had beautiful weather here all week and Friday was no exception so after adding the final borders to this Gardeners Journal panel (which has been waiting for it's borders for some months) I headed outside to do some more work in the garden.
So then my task for the evening was to add some quilting which I did with a lovely yellow/pale green variegated perle thread.
Then for the last hour of my evening I got out some crochet. I started knitting a pair of socks with this lovely yarn last year but was not happy with the pattern. Now I NEED a cowl so have undone my knitting and started crocheting my cowl. Not sure how big it will turn out but I am sure there will be enough there. It's lovely, simple, rhythmic ripple crochet - perfect for relaxing with at the end of the day.
Thanks Wendy - see you again next week. xx
Your gardener's journal panel is perfect!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you have finished up the YOur Gardener's Journal panel. The perle quilting looks great too! Love that colour yarn you are crocheting with.

ReplyDeleteThe GJ block is such a pretty piece. Love your choice of borders.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with having enough woll for the cowl.
Your gardener's panel looks so pretty finished. The quilting is lovely. Pretty wool you are using for the cowl. It sounds as if you are enjoying some soothing and calm evening crocheting.
ReplyDeleteHello Lin, I love the leaf patterned material you've used in the border for your gardener's journal panel. Also, your embroidered gardening lady is so beautiful and I love all the little touches that tell her story... she loves cats and is enjoying a nice rest with a drink at the end of a productive gardening day!
ReplyDeleteYour cowl will be so pretty, it's beautiful wool.
Cheers :D)
Your Garden journal is looking good, I love a warm neck and cowls keep my neck so warm. I tried wearing scarves but they either came undone or dropped into things.
ReplyDeleteGood post again, Lin. Love the embroidered lady ... she looks so relaxed and I love the border treatment.
ReplyDeleteYou can't go wrong with some nice rhythmic hand work. I love the colour of the yarn.
ReplyDeleteLove your GJ block. They are such lovely blocks to stitch. Very pretty crochet as well xx
ReplyDeleteThis is exquisite! I love the colors, the yellow really makes the stitchery pop. And the green calms it down, while adding a nice foundation. I love your stitching all around the edges, giving it that bit of charm. Nice, Nice work.
ReplyDeleteI love the embroidery and the quilting that you are doing! I like the soft colors that blend together so well. This time of year just makes you want to knit or crochet, doesn't it? Best wishes on your project!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work on the quilting. Love the colours for your knitting. Take care :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful wool for your cowl; I love the pattern you are crocheting x
ReplyDeleteI have plans for a ripple crochet something - when I've finished what I'm doing now! I'm looking forward to seeing yours grow, as it will be very encouraging!
ReplyDeleteWhat very pretty colours you have used for the journal panel, lovely stitched piece.
ReplyDeleteLove your stitcheries. I did them a few years ago but they are still waiting to be put together LOL. Lovely crocheting there.
