MWM|| Crochet With Love 🧶💖

Blessed start of the week for all Hive friends, especially for my Needleworkmonday buddies. Today I am pleasantly excited to share with all of you the project I made this weekend. Sunday has always been my favorite day of the week, as this day has always been dedicated to rest and family time. For some time now, Sunday has also become my "crochet day" because I always dedicate a few hours of the afternoon to meditate and relax between yarns and needles.

The project I am sharing with you today is truly very special, I made it with a lot of patience and love, because it is a gift for an aunt I love very much, whom, for reasons of destiny, I have not seen for 18 years. A few weeks ago I received the good news that I would soon see her again, so I knew I had to make her a gift with my own hands to let her know how much I appreciate her. I usually give knitted gifts to my family and friends, I consider it the best way I have to express my affection, so this case could not be the exception.

Since everything was so fast and so sudden, I didn't have time to go to the stores to buy materials, so I had to work with whatever I had on hand. Among other ideas, I came up with the idea of making a little scarf with a knitted lace, so I found some fuchsia acrylic yarn, a knitting needle, a knitting needle and some scissors and I started crocheting to finish my project on Sunday.

The first thing I did was to sew all around the edge of the scarf with a stitch that simulates the zigzag stitch that sewing machines make. I confess that this procedure took me some time because I am not very good at sewing by hand, but I am very patient, so I took it easy. The tedious part of this step is that the thread gets tangled very often, the important thing was that I was able to finish it and the result was acceptable.

The next step was much easier and relaxed because I was in my comfort zone: crochet. After I had the whole border with the zigzag stitch, I took my crochet and started to knit the lace. I chose a simple lace formed by fans of 6 high stitches, separated by a half stitch.

To give it a more delicate touch, I thought of embroidering a small rose on one of the corners of the scarf. I learned how to embroider this rose in my ribbon embroidery practice, it's the first time I do it with knitting thread, however, I think it looks great. What do you think?

I can really say that I enjoyed making this little project, I put a lot of love into it and I was very satisfied with the final result. I hope you like it too. Thank you all for reading, greetings and blessings.
