Romance

 Hi there, Crafties

I don't know about you, but I don't consider myself to be a very romantic person. Of course, I love getting something nice from Hubby, but it doesn't have to be chocolates or flowers. Being a writer, I really appreciate a journal or notebook more.

But for all the romantics, here's a lovely little scarf. I know many people don't like long, flowing scarfs (my sis is one of them). You can make it as long as you like, but mine is short and sweet with only 20 motifs.

It is quick and easy to whip up over a weekend. The last minute accessory for that special date. I've used some thinnish leftover yarn (I have small balls without any labels), but I know you have just the right yarn sitting around waiting for something like this. Enjoy 😊

Join with ss in 1st sc

Fasten off, weave in ends.

This is your first motif. Join motifs, using pics as guideline. Join to desired length. To save time (and nerves!) weave in ends after every join.


4dc's clusters in a 5ch ring, with 5ch between



Next round would be the 7ch, sc, 3ch, sc...


You're first motif would look like this...



Join motifs like this: in corner, sc, ch3, sc in next motif corner, 3ch, sc back to 1st motif, ch1, sc in 3ch space, ch1, ch3, sc for second corner, 3ch, sc... (The red yarn is to show where to join the motifs)


Border

You can use any border you like, but I've put up some pics if you want to use mine. It's pretty straightforward, just regular sc's and chains in the right places.


If using any, join contrasting yarn with a ss in any 7ch, sc, ch5, sc in same space. Ch 7, skip next space -refer to the green arrow- sc in next space. Ch5, sc in next...



Compare your chains and sc's with this pic.








In you're 1st corner, sc, ch3, sc, ch3, sc

                                           * Ch3, sc in 7ch space, ch3, 

                                            In next 5ch space, work sc, 3ch, sc, 3ch, sc ch ... Continue from* around. Join with ss, fasten off and weave in ends.

  Hi there, Crafties I know, it's been ages since I've posted anything! But I was in a bit of a fix. You see, my laptop is not what it used to be and my Tablet likes acting up when I need to upload pics. I don't usually do the posts on our desktop PC as it is not in my working / crafting space, but...! I thought I owe blogland some new posts. And I was just getting started with The Windows of Camelot . I must tell you, I got really carried away working out blocks for windows. It's nothing complicated, in fact, Windows 1 & 2 are just like Window 1 with only very small differences. You can read in the previous post how I got inspired by this. That's why, for today, I'll show you how to do the Window for a Queen. Although we're dreaming about Camelot, I'm not giving the queen a name. The queen and her ladies-in-waiting are having tea in her chambers. From time to time, she looks at the new design on her windows and then she smiles. She loves the simple ...

First hello

Hi there, Crafties My name is frieda and I am the maker behind poppelandcreates . I am not so new to blogging, but I am new on Blogger. I will be sharing crochet patterns - I know, I know, every Tom, Dick and Harry - do this, but hey, a famous man once said: In the future, everyone will have their 15 minutes of fame. So, this will be mine. For me, blogging is mainly a form of keeping my patterns and ideas in one place. Maybe I won't post something for weeks, but I definitely wíll post something sometime! The patterns will be my own and it will all be easy, peasy. Of course, if I mention an online pattern or idea, I will add a link.  I really think you can make something beautiful without hurting your head. And heads can hurt so easily. Oh, by the way, maybe I'll throw in some herbal remedies.  I will be around, hope to find you here too 🎈 frieda
