Granny Rose Scarf with Bobbly Trim II

Some of the granny rose squares for the 
Granny Rose Scarf with Bobbly Trim are finished:
All leaf rows are lime.
The roses and first granny row alternate all the other colors except denim.
Denim is the second granny row, 
and also the third granny row where the 
join-as-you-go technique was used.

The Granny Rose pattern can be purchased here.


Here are six of the squares joined:

 And here are the six finished squares photographed with the three coats
and the scarf "mascot". ;-)

The light blue dress coat:

The magenta ski jacket:

and the denim jacket:


Can you guess the color I have in mind for the bobbly trim?

Granny Rose Scarf with Bobbly Trim I

Autumn is scarf making time and I'm thinking it's time to make a Granny Rose Scarf.
I have made so many items with the Granny Rose Pattern, 
but never a scarf; although some of my blog friends have used the pattern for a scarf,
and they turned out absolutely lovely!

First I will need yarn.
These are the colors I chose:
It's all Stylecraft Special DK purchased from Wool Warehouse.
I will be use more of the Denim and the Lime colors.

I'd like it to coordinate with three jackets/coats:
Magenta Ski Jacket (Pomegranate)
Denim Jacket (Denim)
Light Blue Wool Dress Coat (Cloud Blue)

and I will need these accouterments:
Scissors, "G" or 4.25 mm hook, Needle

Here''s the yarn photographed with a cow creamer;
milk or cream pours out her mouth.
So cute!
I think the cow will be the "Scarf Project Mascot".
It doesn't make any sense, but then again, what's the fun in making sense?

Do you want to make one too?

Autumn Granny Rose Pillow I

My friend "D" has a birthday next month.
Once she told me how to figure out the colors she loved,
she said "Think Fall".

This is the beginning of a pillow for her birthday:
 This "Spring" colors gal has been thinking of these "Autumn" colors:

Stylecraft yarn in Saffron, Gold, and Copper.
With an "F" hook 3.75 mm.

The pillow will be 3 x 3 for a square.
(three of each color)
It will fit perfect over the little IKEA pillow I like so much.
I'll crochet something funky and different for the back.

Fall is coming...
 ...and so are more roses inspired by the Autumn colors:
An IKEA pillow will be the inside.

Yarn is:
Stylecraft Special DK in:
Saffron, Copper, Gold
Khaki, Meadow
Parchment, Mocha
Yarn can be found at Wool Warehouse by clicking here.

Hook is:
"F" or 3.75 mm

Pattern is:
Granny Rose is the pattern for the front and can be found 
here                     or                     here.

Happy forthcoming colors of the Season!
