Crochet summer shirt

-
I have crocheted few garments before, and I would like to do those much more.
The idea for this summer shirt came to me one evening and I just started to carry out my idea.

The yarn is Drops Paris which I bought while ago for a testing purposes. 
I used 5 mm hook but looking the finished shirt I think that maybe hook 4.5 mm would have been better. I have to remember this when I am planning a new garment. 
Maybe I should consider to do a swatch.

I crocheted two pieces, the front piece has a heart and the backside is striped. Short sleeves have ruffle edge and the hem has a minor fan. 

Pattern: my own
Yarn: Drops Paris
Hook: 5 mm

Yarndale 2018 - crocheters dream

-
Image
This was my first trip to Yarndale and it exceeded all my expectations and beyond. I described the trip afterwards to my friends as unbelievably awesome, incomprehensible staggering! I hope that at least some of my feelings as described above can be found below. * I had been following this event from the social media for few years and I remember thinking that some day I will go there. It was February when I decided that I think no more, I go! What a good decision that was! I asked my husband if he wants to go with me and he did.  So we traveled together to Yarndale.  I booked the accommodation in Skipton and flights to London already in March. We departed from Finland early on Thursday morning 27th of September. We flew to London via Copenhagen (note to myself: book direct flights next time). We arrived to London around 2 pm, local time.  We had one night reservation at a hotel near to King`s Cross train station. We dropped our luggage to the hotel and had a traditional fish

Crochet bunting

I crocheted few wonderful buntings for our summer oasis. The pattern is called  Boho Bunting and designed by Emma @lululoves_uk  .  Pattern can be found, for example from Ravelry .  I used the Sweet Pea blanket yarns on two buntings. One of the bunting has darker colors and the other is lighter, more pastel one. I made tassels in two colors. The third bunting is lovely pink. The yarn here is Drops Muskat (color 06) and hook 4 mm. The tassels are made with fuchsia.   I really really love these buntings!  The pattern was clear and easy and the design is just super lovely!
