Oh I am so bad!! This is the year of finishing up projects, but I have started TWO new ones this month!! I am still sewing Shh - you know what, but I got a book out of the library on unusual crochet blocks, and then read Attic 24's article on making crochet banners, and I just had to have a go!!
I adapted both patterns (in other words I made up my own!!)
I have been wanting to make a banner to show my support for Scottish Independence...
... and I had seen a lot of yarn bombing, which looked great fun!!
I thought I would yarn bomb the fence on the field next to our house...
...but I would have to put some weight at the bottom of the pennants, as we get so much wind, ...
... so I sewed on some beads in the appropriate colour...
... and I made a banner in the middle ...
... and a flower to represent the Flower of Scotland (the song!) ...
... sewed them together...
... in the colours representing the Scottish flag...
... YES!!
I couldn't quite get a picture of it altogether ...
...
... (excuse the feet and jeans!) ...
My husband said it was too nice to go on the fence, where it would get extremely dirty, so ....
... I hung it in our conservatory.!
It is quite small, ...
... but next year there will be a larger one!!!
YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!!
Till next time.

So you've been playing hooky! A great banner in the blue and white :) Looks great along your window too.
ReplyDeleteYou are just too 'punny' for words! Thanks for the nice comments.
DeleteI don't crochet but that looks very nice to me! I've got to ask though, does the word "Yes" mean yes to something? I agree with your husband, too nice to yarn bomb a fence!
ReplyDeleteNext year the Scotland will ask its residents whether they want to become independent from the United Kingdom, or whether they want to stay. I want INDEPENDENCE!!
ReplyDeleteI think it is great and what a wonderful place to it. Glad you explained the yes part as I didn't understand either.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! This was so awesome!!! You have a conservatory? WOWZERS! It looked great up around the top of the windows!!!
