I'm still not quite caught up on this one-a-day crochet flower project. I think I'm only four days behind, so it's possible to catch up in the next day or two.
I have so many flowers to show that I separated them into two groups.
First group:
Second group:
Stack of all the flowers so far:
And all of them spread out:
I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with them... The thought of joining them in a blanket is intimidating-- and exhausting-- but that's what I'm leaning towards, at the moment. Nothing else I can think of seems quite as appealing or useful, given the material (acrylic yarn), gauge/scale (worsted/aran weight), and color combinations.
I'm afraid my enthusiasm is already wearing thin. It's not because making the flowers is dull-- I'm enjoying that part-- but rather because they're piling up so quickly, and I just can't feel confident in my ability to turn them all into something worthwhile.
I'll carry on for at least a while longer, I guess. I could join the first month or two into some sort of pillow cover(s), then choose new colors for the next month and make enough of them to cover a wreath (as I've seen someone else do with flowers in at least similar weight yarn)... And I could even convince myself to make a month or so in thread for a framed piece. There are no rules, of course, and there's no reason they all have to match/coordinate or be used in the same finished project.
Further updates will follow!
