Joining in today with the lovely Chrissie and Marianne for their weekly 'Blooming Crochet-A-Long'. This week I have been working this lovely 'Classic Snood' by Erika Knight in Drops Big Delight Autumn Forest.
I originally bought this yarn with another pattern in mind, but having seen this Erika Knight pattern done by Chrissie, I just had to give it a go.
I am working it the full length, so it's quite long, but perfect for wrapping around twice, which is exactly the way I like to wear my snoods. This yarn is a dream to work with and I love these gorgeous autumnal colours, aren't they just beautiful?! Especially against this lovely Poinsettia, which my darling other half brought for me this week.
All I have left to do now is to join it together, so hopefully this will happened tonight or possibly tomorrow. If you're interested in this pattern, you can find it in this lovely book.
I have also managed to finish the crochet edgings on the tea towels that I have made, and I am really happy with them all. 'What a difference a
Thank you for all your very kind comments about my sleeping bunnies, I had such fun making them and can't wait to make some more.
I will be back tomorrow with my Weekly Bake, but for now I am off to have a look at what everyone have been hooking this week.
Warm Wishes

Hello Hannapat, your snood is gorgeous, such rich colours and so soft looking. Good luck with your sale, I hope all goes well.
ReplyDeleteYour bunnies in the previous post are adorable, I love all the fabrics you have used. Thank you for your kind comments on my blog. Yes the angel is a Tilda one, which I made from one of her Christmas books. If you are not familiar with Tilda, it is a Danish company owned by Tone Finanger (I think that's how you spell it), she is an amazing designer, I love all her stuff.
Have a wonderful weekend, and keep up the good work. Oh, and your crocheted edged teatowels are wonderful too. Love Linda x
You're going to be lovely and warm with that.....you're going to need it too, it's freezing! I really, really need to put some crochet edging on something, ANYTHING! I think it always looks so lovely! :) x
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous colours in the snood, so lovely. I adore the tea towels with the crochet edge, they are really pretty. Hope you are having a lovely week!

I really love these colours!! And as Ada said you will definitely be lovely and war in that. Erka Knight books are full of great patterns aren't they?? A must for any serious crochet stitcher.

The colours on the snood are beautiful and very autumn-like. The crochet edge does make the tea towels look so pretty! Just lovely.
ReplyDeleteAlso I just wanted to say a big thank you for the comment you left on my "confessions" post. It is a great comfort to know that I'm not alone in feeling the way I do about motherhood. xx
Ah your snood is looking beautiful Hannapat, such lovely snuggly warm colours, and it sounds like you'll really be needing it over there. When I see the gorgeous warm accessories that you and others are making I feel like rushing into similar makes but then remind myself that it's the wrong time of year for me so best just keep doing things for 'now'! I am in danger of becoming confused! The sweet little edges on your tea towels really finish them off so nicely - well done! Is the school craft sale this weekend? All the very best with it anyway, and I'm sure it'll all be very successful - you really have put your heart and soul into your makings towards this fund-raiser and I applaud you for your generosity lovely! Lots of love, Joy xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love Drops yarn - their stall at Yarndale was huge...could have bought the whole range. Now I'm going to have to add this to my long 'wanties' list. Those colours are gorgeous, I'd love a snuggly jumper in this. Your bunnies and tea towels have a very pretty vintage look - I love that. XX
ReplyDeleteThe colors in your snood caught my eye! Perfect for fall! I am inspired to make myself some fingerless gloves in those colors now! Your snood is going to be beautiful! The tea towels are sweet! I wish I knew how to sew!
ReplyDeleteJust lovely! I am so in love with the tea towels and the crocheted edges. I never see such beautiful linens where I live and certainly not for tea towels. Even the fabric would be hard to purchase here. Do you make your own tea towels or can you buy them and then just add the trim? I do love the Fall and "Christmasey" colours of your snood. A blogging friend sent me a long long scarf one year and I loved it!
ReplyDeleteDear Hannapat
ReplyDeleteWhat sumptuous autumnal colours and whata lovely pattern. I am sure the snood will be absolutely perfect for these colder days. The crochet edging makes a huge difference to the teatowels - congratulations on your lovely projects.
Best wishes

ReplyDeleteThose teatowels are pretty, the crocheted edgings are so sweet.

That is such a lovely snood -what nice colours and looks like it will be so nice and warm. The edgings on the tea towels are lovely too -I keep wanting to try them on pillowcases but never seem to get round to it :-( Amking your own tea towels are such a good idea -i never seem to find ones i like!
ReplyDeleteFirst can I just say I am in LOVE with your bunnies, they are absolutely gorgeous. And now I am in awe of that beautiful snood, the color of the yarn is amazing.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you,
Meredith
Just catching up with your posts...the snood is looking gorgeous. I really love the colors of your yarn and the stitch pattern. And the tea towels are so pretty! I made flannel receiving blankets with a crocheted edge for my friend's new baby over the summer and I really loved the way they turned out. I definitely agree that a crocheted edging makes a huge difference. Well done.
ReplyDeletehi stiana!! gorgeous crocheting!! so very clever. I thought leaving a comment here might be the best way to be in touch with you. I was so very excited to see you have ordered a copy of Hundreds and Thousands. we posted it to you on Thursday, so hopefully it arrives soon. have you received an email form Rebecca (your gift tag swap partner??) I know she is very excited about sending a you some gift tags xoxox
ReplyDeleteOh I love that yarn and I love that pattern, I have been meaning to make it for a while he he :) I love this book! The edgings you have done are lovely!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous yarn. Looks like its coming on really well. My neighbour has that book I often borrow it and paw over all the lovely projects and stitches. I really like the cardigan project in there. Can't wait to see it finished. I like to wrap mine round twice too! Xx
ReplyDeleteThe yarn is beautiful. I love the colors. The crochet edges on your tea towel look very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love the colours in the yarn, so autumny indeed, and the pattern is lovely. I hope that you love snuggling in your new snood, it is certainly cold enough to be wearing it a lot!! xx
ReplyDeleteHannahpat - the scarf ROCKS - would love to know what the yarn is!
