Woolly Garlands for Cupoftea's beautiful girls. Knitters and crocheters needed.

You may have been following the progress of Cupoftea?s beautiful daughter, Beatrice Primrose.
This project is to make garlands for Cupoftea?s daughters, to include the flowers in all their names and other lovely things. We would appreciate your help.

The idea is to make some garlands similar to this woolly one.

However, we would like to include the following:

Bees for Beatrice
Primroses
Violets and Daisies for Beatrice?s sisters
Flowers
Any decorative motifs
Triangular bunting that we can stitch crochet motifs onto (size to be confirmed)

If you are a knitter wanting to make bunting, garter stitch is preferable as it will lie flatter.

Unlike the blanket projects, these woolly things can be made from any wool.

I will post more details including sizes and links to patterns shortly.

It's going to take more than that, I think! I'm in slow motion today.

Flapjack, the wool has arrived. Many thanks.

Oh you flash lot Grin

Soupy, is there a link for the primrose pattern?

OP posts:
SoupDragon · 08/10/2011 11:42

It was on Ravelry... I think I searched for Primrose :o There was a pot of primroses and a few pattns on, just the flowers.

I hope so anyway as I forgot to bookmark it.

SoupDragon · 08/10/2011 11:45

H! The one i waS thinking of wasn't free but the pot is and I guess just make the flowers. Or there is this one.

SoupDragon · 08/10/2011 11:46

That was meant to be Bah! Not H!

Dilly, that is the best blog title heading I've seen (the folded paper)
Lovely post too.

A woolly parcel on its way to you Knotty.

And as for Ravelry, well...I haven't crocheted a thing in years, and even then only granny squares. Now, thanks to that site, I'm attempting to do this scarf! Damn you Grin

KnottyLocks · 09/10/2011 08:36

Oh that scarf is lovely.

Sorry Grin I won't even mention Craftster then.

Mine's in the making, but there will be only the one I'm afraid.

KnottyLocks · 10/10/2011 11:13

Oma, one is great. Smile

Umami , your gorgeous flowers and bunt have arrived. Star

Right, I've done one bunt in a fetching green, it's drying after being blocked now. And I learnt some new stitches, so that's cool!

I really want to try and put a 'B' in another one but I'm not confident enough of my abilities to try and work out how to fit it exactly in the space. But I think I might do another plain one but in moss stitch if that's ok?

KnottyLocks · 11/10/2011 14:42

Minnie, moss stitch is good as it lies flat. The green sounds lovely.
