Crafty in the Med

I am here to enjoy meeting other bloggers and to share my love of craft ,mostly crochet, my thoughts and my daily happenings here in Alicante,Spain, my adopted country. I belong to a local choir because singing and music makes me happy. Flea markets and book shops are two of my favourite places to be. I read lots......sci´fi/fantasy,buried treasure, and off world adventures. I have a passion for history! I walk and walk and walk for about 10 months per year during the hot months I swim.

Forest hearts and off and away to...

Hi there
 I have been extremely lazy lately and have forgotten to welcome my new followers so  I want to make up for it now
Hello and welcome to Kristen at Cosy things, Annie at Knitsofacto, Robin at Mynestofyarn& buttons, Mum at Mum's simply living and Carole at Serendipity,raindrops & roses . Thank you for popping in and joining me here :-)
IF THERE IS ANYONE I HAVE FORGOTTEN PLEASE TELL ME OFF!

My shawlette is finally ready to go over the seas and far away to the mystical land of OZ.
Sydney August 2011

Incidentally I can't resist saying I took this picture myself when I was in Sydney with my sisters last summer

The blocking worked a treat and I am very pleased with the results. What a difference blocking makes!
Nonetheless I did want to add my own personal touch to it.....I do like tweaking patterns to personalize it more.
Therefore I added a strand of what I call forest hearts
 



The forest hearts strand is detachable and can be placed wherever the wearer likes on the shawlette.
Do you like my model...bit thick around the neckline. I have no one to act as a model, my meanie hubby wouldn't oblige either!!! )-:
I had to improvise tch!!



or this way:
very versatile I think





How about as a bracelet? LOL
