I just love aquas, greens and blues, and I love to pair them with a clean white. A few weeks ago I started a yarn purge. I've been trying to slowly get rid of some yarns that I just don't see myself using anytime soon. In the process, I came across these beautiful colors that made my fingers itch to put together into some blankets. A few of them are vintage, like the bright greens. Those are both vintage wintuk yarns, so the downside is that I won't be able to reproduce these exactly the same. On the same token, the upside is I "won't be able to reproduce these exactly the same", so they are truly unique. I like things that are one-of-a-kind.
I finished the first granny rectangle, a couple of weeks ago, but haven't had the chance to post it to tillie tulip for sale. I was dragging my feet a bit, because I wanted to include a onesie with a little matching heart for the upcoming Valentine's Day. Why do hearts make things so cute?
I used Creme de la Creme cotton yarn in aqua jade for the center, and single crocheted the edge in aqua. You can find my heart pattern

Wow, Laura! Talk about vintage. Wintuk was THE yarn when I was young. The greens paired with the crisp white are ab-SO-lutely gORgeOUs!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and soothing :-) And your little heart embellishment is too cute!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Lovely! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteAqua and white AND aqua and red (or hot pink) are my favorite combos. Love all your things...so pretty!
