Surfing over Blogspot's pages I came on the page of Vilma. (http://vilman.blogspot.com) She had a pretty flower on her page, with the description in Finnish. I don't understand a word Finnish though, but decided to follow the numbers and watch the images to make myself a flower. I crocheted it in Opal Hagebutte and crochet needle 1.5. I have to work out the notes I made in Dutch now, as my daughter wants to try and make one herself.
Al surfende over Blogspot kwam ik terecht op de pagina van Vilma. (http://vilman.blogspot.com) Zij heeft een beschrijving van een gehaakt bloemetje staan, alleen in het fins. Nu snap ik geen woord van de Finse taal, maar de uitdaging om een bloemetje te haken greep mij, dus ik volgde de foto's en de getallen die erbij stonden. Ik heb hem gemaakt met Opal Hagebutte en haaknaald 1.5. Nu de aantekeningen maar uitwerken, want mijn dochter wil er ook eentje maken.
That's so funny! I just stopped by myself in the same blog, though, I understand Finnish much better... I was thinking it would be possible to make a keychain of this flower as well, as you did with the one some time ago.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThank You! I´m busy some next weeks. But when I have my summer holidays, I would stay in our summer cottage on one little island in lake Päijänne in Middle- Finland. In holidays I would to make this flower-key-ring. You can see later!:)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHey, you did it, great! :) Had to come and see for myself how the dutch version of my flower looks like. Nice to know that my work-in-progress photos of the different phases of crocheting the flower helped you to figure out the pattern. :D
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNow, this is beautiful - especially considering the fact that you followed the pattern without understanding Finnish!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI also love Vilmas flowers and I'm going to make flower bag as well! How nice to see how internet spreads ideas and connects all the knitters (and crocheters) together.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenwat een leuke bloemetjes!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenik heb de foto's ook opgeslagen en zal er dan ook wel uitkomen...
groetjes Lucie
I love the flower!! I found a pattern in an old IK for flower facecloths. I think I'm going to make several for sister-in-law for Christmas--paired with a nice soap. I can't tackle the Finnish, so it'll have to be the IK version for me~~although I do love the one you posted!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks for stopping by my blog! The sock yarn is lovely to knit with, and I'm almost to the place where I need to work the heel flap/extension/whatever since I'm knitting toe-up. I'll be posting updates.
