The meadow

    I've let myself get tempted by Drops new CAL ( Crochet – A – Long ) ‘The Meadow’.

    It wasn’t that easy to get the cotton yarn, actually it was sold out of most online shops in Norway and even the UK. I was ready to substitute with another cotton yarn, wool or other #7 colors, but the more I though about it, the more I wanted to do the CAL exactly as it was designed. So after a couple of hours online, I finally found the right colors and quantities from a little online shop that was probably overlooked due to their high shipping cost ( like more crafter I tend to look for shops that have free or low shipping)

    The mystery blanket will use 17 x Drops ♥ You #7, in 5 different shades.

     These little crochet flowers have put me in the mood for gardening, and the time being right I’ve started to pot some of my bulbs and begin to plant seeds… naturally April in Norway is still a bit early for growing things outside, so the pots will have to stay indoor for at least another 3 to 4 weeks.
