Superstars and Cannonballs and Friday

TGIF!

It is Friday! And I do have a finish...

I made this bolero, in Viking Nordlys, I bought a 100 gram ball at the old local shop which started selling yarn after we moved. Buu. This bolero used up 66 grams, so I have some left, I wanted to make one for me, but this is too tight a fit, so my plan is to buy some more of the same yarn and use this as a template to make one in my size.

So now the question is if it is a size XS of a child's size... Do I know any children this would fit? Not really. But it was a fun make, I made it with a 4 hook and spent two evenings on it.

I should have made more Maybelle flowers those nights, but my finger was a bit sore from using such a small hook so I took a break. But I do think I have tripled my flower yield since I picked them up again. 88 flowers done now and since I only had 17 when I picked them up I am quite pleased. If I can make 16 flowers out of every skein I will have 256 flowers when done and that might me enough...

Although not if the yarn continues to be stupid, here I had to cut off almost a meter because one of the threads was cut off and made knots at each end.

#Stupid yarn!

Here is what I bought at the MiddelalderFestival we were at on Sunday in the rain, a small beautiful little basket that my flowers have already grown out of...

And I have used up another two colours on my stash busting acrylic baby blanket the light blue and pink at the left end were done yesterday. But Nille where I bought the yarn are saying most Nille stores now have discontinued the yarn so I guess I can't buy any more blue and it will become a mostly pink blanket since I still have a lot of that... And I wanted a candy themed blanket with soft colours of all kinds.... I guess I have to look around for some more blue...

Colourfull Maybelle show and tell

I am steadily making more flowers and my flowers have doubled, think I can triple them before I focus on something else? As I said I will work on this project during May so not much time left then.

But I do adore the colours, it is a feast for the eyes! I am hoping Søstrene Grene adds a perfect colour to crochet the flowers into squares... At the moment I am crocheting one skein to see how many flowers that will yield so I will get a feel to how big this project will be, so far I have seven flowers in middle pink but there is still plenty yarn left. 

Monday and Maybelle

Since it is still May I thought it fitting to make some more Maybelle flowers which eventually will turn into Maybelle Squares and then perhaps a blanket... I am thinking a sand colour on the squares, but we will see.

I had 17 flowers when I picked it up yesterday, and I now have made 19 more.

I have added some more colours, but I do think I will look around to see if I can find more blues and lilac colours. Perhaps even...gasp...yellow.

All yarn is cotton from Søstrene Grene and I am using a 1.5 hook.

And Mimle got a new toy which she loves, she throws it around all the time, too bad for me because it has a bell inside >.<

Oh, and congratulations to the proud parents and little kawaii-chan, I can't wait to meet you all.
