Since I posted two weeks ago I not only finished the stripey round handbag I posted about previously, but also a 70 granny squares [eight rounds per granny] single bed afghan for the Teen! I am itching to show you how both turned out but a current bout of rainy weather is hijacking my plans for pretty pictures.
Above is my current work in a progress, tiny hexagons from all my left over Vinnis yarn which will become a great handbag for someone special. I was about to churn out African flowers when it struck me that these tiny hexagons fit right in with our latest travelling experience through the Cape floral kingdom - I like connecting impressions of places visited with my projects. We recently spent a weekend on a Karoo farm near Laingsburg and the flowers and shrubbery of the region is simply beautiful. Some of the flowers in the photos below are no more than 2 mm in either height or width! Unbelievable. Cheers until next time xxxx
These [directly above] are all teeny weeny and no more than 1-3mm in size each! I got as close as I possibly could with my camera. The below ones are "normal" flower size ;-)
Good start to the handbag! The photos of the flowers are absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteIt is such a beautiful country with awesome flora and fauna! Handbag is now almost finished. Cheers!
