I have probably said this over and over (and over)....... but so far my absolute favourite part of being a Stylecraft Blogstar was the
BLOGSTAR MEET UP on 4 February 2017.
Besides getting to meet all the other lovely Blogstars we were treated to a mystery pack of Stylecraft Yarns for Spring 2017. Three stunning "vintage" colours were added to the Stylecraft Special DK range and I could not wait to try out a few colour combinations!
Aren't they just too pretty for words????
The three new colours are gorgeous together and so I wanted to add additional colours that would really make them stand out.
Stylecraft Special DK "Walnut" and "Apricot" were the perfect choice for a vintage feel "
Gorgeous Granny" Bag and
Granny Stripe Scarf
The colours had to be divided carefully between the two projects to obtain an even balance. For the scarf I used longish panels of Apricot and Mushroom, separated by shorter panels of Vintage Peach. For the side stripes I used Buttermilk, Walnut and Vintage Peach edged with Apricot. (I made the granny stripe for the scarf up and intend to use this it in a blanket design)
I used double rows of each colour for the bag in the following order: Buttermilk, Vintage Peach, Apricot, Mushroom & Walnut.
The pattern for the bag is available in my
RAVELRY STORE
