My Welsh dragon crochet is proving very popular, so I wanted to quickly produce a cover for the second bollard outside the shop. The “sock” is pretty straightforward now I have created a pattern and I managed to find some suitable leftover yarn in fairly neutral colours. However, embellishments take much longer. Fortunately, my appeal a few months ago for items with which to decorate the shop meant that I had a bag of crochet flowers from Sandra (Wild Daffodil) just waiting to be used. Small amounts of scrap green yarn were all I needed for the chain stitch stems and here it is:
I will probably make a snail to go on top of it eventually, but I’m pretty happy with it for now. So, big thanks to Sandra, without whom I would still be crocheting flowers.
Just fabulous. They certainly an effective for of advertising!
Oh WOW!!!!!!! I am so glad you found such a splendid and eye-catching use for the pieces I sent. So cool! will Reblog!
Reblogged this on Wild Daffodil and commented:
Look!!! Such a splendid use for some of my abandoned floral experiments!
Yes! A snail will be the final, crowning glory. In purple, naturally…
What a terrific idea!
I love them both. I hope they will still be there when I visit.
Your bollards are a triumph! So full of joy and colour!
