What’s in a name

Not sure if you have seen my pinknits banner or not. It looks a little bit like this…

It hangs over the stall like this…

Well a nice lady at the last markets asked me if I made them to order. Now while I thought someone might want one I wasn’t entirely convinced that anyone actually would and if they did, would I actually want to make another one – so thinking very quickly on my feet I said ‘yes of course I could – what name would you like’. So I took all her details, told her it would be three or four weeks and off she went. I came home and got started.

Her choice of colours – a soft appley green and a lavender sort of colour with maybe a touch of cream. The triangles came first and then I had to think about how best to tackle the letters. I thought crochet might be best…

I kind of liked the ‘r’ but the others were a little bulky…

I think you can see what I mean. Ayhugh I came up with a compromise and churned them out.

Blocked them…

Attached them…

and then got working on the final touches.

And here it is…

  

I hope Grace loves it…
