Oooo…what a fabulous dose of spring from Persephone’s Awakening!  I just love the happy go lucky feeling these fantastic crocheted flowers will bring to any outfit!!

Says Jen, from Persephone’s Awakening:

“I am a tree-hugger to the extreme. Any time I can save or salvage ‘things’ to use in creative projects, I do it. That’s why I like the crocheted items that I make; I hardly ever buy new yarn, because most of it is upcycled from other projects. It may be an ugly sweater or placemat that I found at the thrift store, the ends from someone else’s project, or a blanket that I made when I was first learning to crochet and is no longer useful in blanket form. These pieces come together to form new accessories that make your outfits a wee bit more special.”

Love, love, love them!!!

1. Single Row Scarf:  Welcome in the colder days with a warm, colourful crocheted scarf. This is made with various reclaimed and new yarns from my stash, patiently crocheted using a size 4 hook. Each flower has been blocked.  A total of 24 flowers, this scarf is designed to wrap at the throat for warmth and lay flat beneath your jacket or coat.
2. Design Your Own:  Do you like scarves but don’t want the same as every other Dick, Jane and Harry? If this is the case for you, you might consider designing your own colour combination for a custom-made flower scarf!
3. Custom Soiled Flower Brooch:  These brooches or pins are made from reclaimed yarn from my stash. Most are made from ends and bits that I’ve saved from ending up in the trash (people just don’t appreciate the last bit of yarn!) thus I am unable to identify what type of yarn, although most are acrylic.
