Hello welcome back, look I have been shopping and finally purchased some new wool. Ok so it's only Robin wool that's a bargain £1.39 a ball but it now means I can get started on my summer wreath. Now this needed to be a quickish project! And as always the fabulous Attic 24 came to the rescue when she posted her adorable little mouse wreath. An embroidery hoop was just what I wanted. Now do click on this link to find instructions for covering your embroidery hoop. Take a good look around attic24s blog it's one of my favourites and you can actually buy the colours in sets to match some of the projects. Lucy's wreaths are amazing, inspirational and I adore her winter wreath. But stupidly over one night I made the whole wreath base and attached it. After not Crocheting for so long my hands really suffered I hope that's taught me a lesson to pace myself a little. Now the design in my head means you will hardly see the base so it's fine to use all green as my base. If your base is on show I would go for more colours. My original plan was to use flowers from a magazine I had seen but after checking out my yarn stash I discovered I had lots of flowers I had made up last year in a wide range of colours. Well it would be wasteful not to use them so I set about arranging them on my wreath. I quickly decided that it would need leafs and a bow. For some reason a rainbow themed bow was my plan it's a great way to use up scraps! I pushed myself by finding a video to help me make two strawberry's, well it is summer!. I still think I'm really new to Crochet and I am taking baby steps a little at a time. But I'm really pleased with my summer wreath. My next wreath? Yep I'm already thinking about the next one.
This one will stay up until September when I'll be putting up an autumn one hopefully. Thanks for reading and I really hope you give a summer wreath a try. Perhaps we should try a paper one soon?. Xxxx
