Love at first sight…

By
April 11, 2011

Hello ladies,

Hope you’re having a wonderful monday morning with a nice cup of coffee!

One week ago I saw this beautiful pic somewhere on the net… a beautiful pic without a link or a source…and I fall….madly deeply in love with it….I saved it on my laptop …Here it is…

Does any of you know the source of this pic?

So, my friend, I fall madly and deeply and crazy in love with the blanket of course…I could not take out my eyes of this beauty…all these colors and this black border…can you resist?

and of course, as you already guessed…I started…I started trying to crochet something similar to this wonderful piece…Mmmmh…it was a pleasure trying to figure out the pattern by just looking at this pic….and I made it after many many trials 🙂

yes yes yes…

I am very happy 🙂

and so in love….

I stopped all my wip and I am not crocheting anything else since …

That’s what we call: Love at first sight…Yes it is crochet-love-at-first-sight…wondering if you can understand this kind of feeling for a project ? when you can not at all concentrate on something else…and you leave all behind for this particular new wip…

I even already draw the graphic pattern for you… my own version on Corel draw with a sucrette’s technique to work fast and use all the colors equitably (Thank you google translate :)) (I’ll post it next time 😉 )

But I need a name for this blanket and I need your suggestions… Do you have any idea what should I name it? Is “love at first sight” a good one? waiting for your advice…

Finally, a close up of the flowers on my table…and some pics of my paintings and my studio before I go…

Talking about my paintings: It is not something “huge” I am very proud of…but it is something I take pleasure making … and that’s what counts finally, no?

I’ll leave you now with a last pic of these adorable small watering cans on my shelves…

Thank you for your visit,

Have a beautiful monday!

    ‘Love@First Sight’ is very appropriate, Angie! I love your paintings! So colourful! I just love paintings of flowers and those exactly like yours!

    Ooo that is lovely, Angie!!! I totally understand that feeling…I was like that when I first saw sunburst blankets and I knew I just had to have one. I love your studio and your painting…I don’t know how you find time to do it all!!!! Do you happen to have more hours in your day than I do?? xxx

    Angie, I love the pattern, your own suggestion, which is what everybody is mentioning above, is great. If it’s “love at first sight” then it will be a very lovable blankie. I really like your paintings too, so cheerful. Have a great day, Pati x

    hi Angie – thanks for visiting my blog! and love your hexagons! I know just what you mean about falling in love with a pattern and abandoning all your other works… i like your name choice Love at first sight 🙂 It also makes me think of honeycomb, so you could call it Honeycomb Love or something like that? But it’s probably best to go with what came to you yourself as it’s your pattern. 🙂

  9. 'me'

    When i saw your question , i immediately thought at ‘ love at first sight ‘, but then I read that you already thought of it yourself.
    So i think it’s a good name 😉 !

    Angie thank you. I need this graphic. It’s lovely. You are a genius. Kisses. Sorry my bad english.

    I have project “love at first sight” way too often. I have 4 afghans in process, along with a couple smaller projects. And now I see this beautiful throw.

    Love your blog. Such happy colors!

  15. Kinnicchick

    Perfection. And I agree with whoever said you have more hours in your day than I do. : )

    Angie,
    I love those hexagons and your paintings, beautiful!! I love the name you picked too, looks like most people have agreeed. Finally posted another post on my blog, I see it is quite time consuming if you include a lot of pictures. Definately a learning experience!! I posted on my blog that I am going to try your hexagons, I think I can do it by sight, but I love your graphs (but I know I already told you that).

  17. Paula

    No suggestions for the name but juts wanted to say it’s beautiful 🙂

  18. Esther

    You also paint? Is there anything you can’t do woman?! 😉 It looks fantastic.
    Esther.

    Love your paintings — they would make wonderful needlepoint pillows! Oh, yes — your crochet is beautiful, too. Of course! Thank you kindly for providing the patterns.
