:: Bamboo daisies

flower scarf

I really love working with bamboo yarn - it’s so silky and soft and completely natural. Though it does freak me out that I could potentially sit on a bamboo chair, wearing a bamboo cardigan, eating bamboo shoots in black bean sauce, crochetting with bamboo yarn with a bamboo hook; surely no one thing should be that versatile? Freaky plant!

Anyway… this scarf is the finished product of my piles of crochetted daisies. I couldn’t find any chocolate brown bamboo yarn, but I did find these lovely, vibrant purple and pink shades that go perfectly with the baby blue. I already working on another one in duck egg blue and cream that reminds me of Wedgwood. I’m all about warm weather scarves this year!

That’s really cute, I love it! :) The colours do look lovely together. I really like the way you have some of the flowers with two colours, and some one colour, it makes it more interesting without being over the top :)

Oh, that is so beautiful! It’s now on my wishlist for things to own. Like the much coveted clutch you knitted that I now proudly use on special occasions! Maybe one day you will teach me how to make a daisy!

Next time we’re in the same country, I’ll teach you to make daisies. Or I could attempt a tutorial on here. Choose two colours, then forget about them, and a very surprising birthday will be coming your way…
