Over the past few weeks, I have been enjoying working on some crafty projects in warm, autumnal colours, quite a change from my usual colour palette of choice...
A little knitting, in a gorgeous buttery yellow shade. I have really enjoyed working on this project - a pair of cosy wrist warmers - and am nearly finished so will be able to show you soon...
I have made three little brooches to brighten up my outfits. There is a tutorial to make these here, although I didn't have any linen and so I just used felt scraps instead. I particularly love the mustard yellow one, and have been wearing it a lot...
Some simple crochet in warm, earthy colours. This is actually a scarf from this pattern, the same as the one I made for myself. It will be a Christmas gift for my lovely neighbour...
Sometimes it's quite nice to use some different colours once in a while!

I know exactly what you mean about the colors; I've been enjoying working with more neutrals and earth-tones lately instead of the brights. I love your brooches and both of your yarny projects are looking lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteThe colours and projects are lovely, especially your little brooches xx
ReplyDeleteVery warming colours, I can relate to your change from our usual pastel pinky palettes! The brooches are so sweet, and I love the yarn work too! Chrissie x
ReplyDeleteMarianne, I love your little felt brooches, they would brighten any outfit; also the scarf for your very fortunate neighbour; and I'm looking forward to seeing your completed wrist warmers too! All in lovely autumnal colours and all beautiful work. You do keep busy, don't you, well done!

Your hearts are so pretty! I tend to stick to blues pinks and purples. I find it really hard to choose yellows and oranges! Xx

What lovely makes you have been working on lovely Marianne. I love all the colours you have chosen and especially the mustardy yellow, which is fast becoming a colour I love. I am quite keen to make myself a hat in this colour, just need a few more hours in the day. I love your pretty brooches, they are so beautiful and as usual you carry them off so style fully. The scarf you are working on looks lovely, one very lucky neighbour. I thoroughly enjoyed all the eye candy in this beautiful post. Enjoy your crafting and thanks for your sweet comments you always leave over at mine xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, those warm colours, they are lovely as it is this season. i do love summer, but when Autumn arrives....there is such a special feeling in the air :)

Lovely warming colours. Your brooches are lovely, very pretty :) xx
ReplyDeleteThe hearts are wonderful. I have been needle felting some up myself but they are a WIP. Great Autumn colours. Jo x
ReplyDeleteOoooh all the colours your using feel very warm and cosy which is perfect for this time of year! They remind me of the nicer things like crunchy brown leaves rather than all the cold wind and rain! I think I've got cardigans in the same colours actually, the mustard one is my favourite though :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful brooches there and I love the colours in your crochet! :) x
ReplyDeleteLove the Autumn inspired colors and your broaches are so wonderful.
ReplyDeletehugs,

Nice colours - especially that yellow knitting. I like the scarf you're making - thanks for the link to the pattern. Is this what they call a granny stripe? I'd like to try it. xx
ReplyDeleteHi Gillian, thank you for the lovely comments you leave me! Yes, I believe it is a granny stripe...although I am no expert!
