pretty flower brooch

I read on littlegems-world a few weeks ago about a brooch she had bought on eBay. I was intrigued so purchased one myself earlier this month. Here it is today on my Per Una Spring cardi from last year, well it feels like Spring to me but it also looks great on my coat, handbag probably great on anything. I liked it so much I am bidding on another one and she has so many to choose from! It's not a great photo as it was taken on my mobile phone!

Lovely brooch! And lovely cardi the colours go perfectly with the brooch. ( (If you hadn't mentioned Per Una I'd have thought it was hand knitted!)

Lovely, and it goes with your spring cardi so well. It's a gorgeous day today, I hope it stays like this for the weekend.

Thanks for all your lovely comments
I bought the cardi because it looks hand knitted, I've not managed to finish a garment for myself yet! It was a snip in an outlet centre :)
Sadly the weather in Kent is going to be gloomy again tomorrow. So I will have to find a brighter cardi to brighten up my day.
Please send me details of your friend who makes brooches to order, a girl can never have enough ;)

Denim Daisy Granny Square construction

And here it is all finished last Friday, just in time for a heat wave! Seriously I do love this jumper and it fits so well with a white t shirt underneath, jeans and flip flops. Just waiting for the cold spell so that I can wear it out (rather than around the garden when its cooled down in the evenings!). I haven't written a pattern as such just some helpful notes from my pad. If people want to know how to construct one have added some notes below. As you know the Daisy Granny Square is the design of Sue Pinner from her book Granny Squares published 2013. I do love Sue's book, its packed with so many projects and ideas and the photos are beautiful. The daisy granny square pattern is quite addictive and you soon have a small pile of them in no time! I have an idea to make another one for the autumn in the same Debbie Bliss Rialto DK yarn but all edged in shade 90 honey, I have enough in my stash. Construction Notes: You need to make 18 grann...

My granny tee is finished

You might remember this post from about ten days ago, well I've now finished my 4th granny tee and I'm currently finishing off my fifth one this week that I stared last year (oops). Indigo Blue came about when I took delivery of my Scheepjes Skies mini skien box (heavy/aran) and I'm in love with this yarn! I was sitting watching a film when I had the sudden urge to crochet another Granny Tee by Sarah (aka annaboos house) The mini skeins are perfect and I ended up using two boxes plus a larger 100g skein for the sleeves and joining. It has amazing drape and the colours are a subtle shift of indigo that is going to look fabulous over a white t shirt with jeans and flip flops. Perfect partnership and so bang on trend for the tie dye look that's about for festivals for this summer. The total cost was around GBP35 not including delivery and I think for a custom made jumper that's not a bad price. I measured it as I added rows then I added side slits to my g...
