GIFTED GORGEOUSNESS 01/24

 

It's always nice to make gifts, nice too to receive some

and use them in our stitching projects.

It's great and fun to show all this and the perfect place is

on Jo's blog Serendipitous Stitching on the 15th of each month

for the Gifted Gorgeousness post.

Cadeaux donnés ou reçus, toutes les occasions sont bonnes

pour partager nos coups de coeur et participer au "Gifted Gorgeousness"

de Jo - Serendipitous Stitching.

Petit retour sur des surprises de fin d'année tenues secrètes le temps qu'elles arrivent à leurs destinataires,

par exemple ces rennes qui ont laissés le traîneau du Père Noël

pour se promener du côté de la côte est anglaise.

Back on some December surprises I didn't show until they reach

their destinations, as those little reindeers

and this "first Christmas" stitching sent to baby Pierre

DD3 looking to my staircase garland noticed my felt hedgehogs

and asked for one dark red and one slate blue.

The big thing was to find where I had put the beads I used for their noses. I must have an embroidery angel cause I found them relatively soon and with all the supplies had a good start!

Première commande et cadeau de 2024,

deux petits hérissons en feutrine pour Eve-Amélie.

Speaking of DD3, the hexagon pullover kept my attention

those past days, I started to assembly them for half of the pullover and one sleeve to see how it's going.

As I'm trying to sew them together mixing the patterns

not to have two same colors (edge and what I call petals) close together.

Not so easy with four choices : black, violet, purple and green

(I only use white for the internal pattern)

The result is that I can't use some already crocheted pieces

and I'm changing the way I work.

Now I'm progressing one by one mixing the colors as I need them.

Soon a special post on this WIP

to help me to think about what to do next for the second half

made of crocheted stripes

Avant un article plus complet sur ce projet un peu spécial

tant pour son motif que pour son montage

première photo de ma moitié de pull, montage des hexagones

ordonnancé selon les couleurs : noire, violet, mauve et vert.

Après avoir associé ces quatre coloris (plus le blanc réservé

à l'intérieur) au hasard, je crochète désormais sur mesure

et selon les besoins.
