<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When I first started on Pinterest I came across this picture and thought: "wow this is magnificently beautiful. I wish I could make that!"</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrTCOZXCCivhxvYHqwDDJA6Khfb1hVEQOwiVk9ZA7OsDWjF0Ezz_c1jmnSPYVNhn73OpRVByWEd1B3HuoZJei8Yu-7RkPcS3QDKfd0Gem8VtL2TJcuUlmBa-Okr9Da3lUjeqKQnFBdiLEC/s640/blogger-image-1154843190.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrTCOZXCCivhxvYHqwDDJA6Khfb1hVEQOwiVk9ZA7OsDWjF0Ezz_c1jmnSPYVNhn73OpRVByWEd1B3HuoZJei8Yu-7RkPcS3QDKfd0Gem8VtL2TJcuUlmBa-Okr9Da3lUjeqKQnFBdiLEC/s640/blogger-image-1154843190.jpg" /></span></a></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That was when I first started to crochet again (after about 15 years), and would have never attempted such an intricate pattern- even if there was one... But there wasn't...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Then, a couple of months later I spotted this on Pinterest:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Zz8OiEwtnQLlriwAuEIZKTiSjtY6QtVakaGm9Rdpi12X2pExXOH228t35yFf60VZgX7xG002GuZNOaUGe7LIEPOOkhxfbP23XwO4FXey7dsamsiFpNp1U4T2rdWuuRfftI6AP9nVZRCa/s640/blogger-image-1636154269.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Zz8OiEwtnQLlriwAuEIZKTiSjtY6QtVakaGm9Rdpi12X2pExXOH228t35yFf60VZgX7xG002GuZNOaUGe7LIEPOOkhxfbP23XwO4FXey7dsamsiFpNp1U4T2rdWuuRfftI6AP9nVZRCa/s640/blogger-image-1636154269.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Someone deciphered the pattern. Here is the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/vintage-fan-ripple-stitch-pattern">link to the pattern</a> , if you want to have a try.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So now it was only my skills standing in my way...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And for the meantime I made only ripples... Not vintage fan ripples...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But I saw lots of others in the meantime.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For example here is Pip's version from <a href="http://meetmeatmikes.com/2013/04/i-finished-this-blanket/">meet me at mike's</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Another couple of months and about 4 ripple baby blankets later, I plucked up the courage and got to work...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A friend of mine picked theses gorgeous colours <i>Coral</i> and <i>Guava</i> from the Bendigo Woollen Mills classic range for her daughters blanket. A stunning combination that I fell in live with as soon as I held the wool in my hands... </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It was slow going at first trying to figure out the pattern. I found it hard to get the right tension in the fans. I frogged it twice and started again.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I know it has been way too long since I posted last but I really did want to share this lion bunting pattern with you.</span><br />

Even before welcoming my little Mr Pumpkinhead I have met this wonderful group of mothers online and am so glad to have found them as there is always someone there to vent, reassure you or just laugh and chat with :)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All our babies were due in the same month and for there birthday we decided to do a secret Santa kind of arrangement. And creativity was encouraged which made me even happier.<br />
<br />
However there was a limit on the amount of money we could spend, so I couldn't make a blanket.<br />
<br />
But I had always wanted to try a bunting...<br />
<br />
Some sneaky detective work in our little group revealed that my swap partner did not have a theme for her son's room, but if she did it would be transport.<br />
<br />
And away I went making little flags, letters and cars.</div>

If you would like your very own customised bunting, please make sure to visit my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/superfruitycrochet">Facebook page and store</a>. I have many more designs planned including skulls, hearts, pumpkins and woodland creatures :) or just contact me with your design ideas.<br />

<br />
I can't decide which display setting I like best but I do want to remind people that buntings are shown hanging on the cot or near toys only for display purposes and may cause a danger to little people.<br />
<br />
I recommend you simply hang your bunting high on a wall or window where little curious hands cannot reach them. If hanging them on a cot please ensure they are safely secured to the cot every 5-10 cm (2-4 inches).<br />
<br />
Stay juicy planet Earth,<br />

I had learnt it as a child but apart from a few hats I never really made anything.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Let's say I never really knew the potential and ease that comes with crochet.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I tried knitting lots of different things; well honestly I knit(ted?!) mostly scarves and hats... I once did finish a sweater but it wasn't really fit to wear outside so it has since been unraveled.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And then... Well I can't remember for certain what brought me back to crochet. I would like to say it was falling pregnant. That would make a nice story and I did make my first little afghan for my son, but that's not what started it all.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It probably was something more trivial; like my husband needing a beanie for work.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But regardless of how I got started again I'm just so happy I finally got back into it and continue to create beautiful crochet treasures.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This post was actually not supposed to be about how I got back to crochet but about one of my favourite pieces. The strawberry and cream clamshell pram blanket I made for a friends baby girl.</div>

This was the first time I spent serious money on real wool (well my friend actually paid). Until then I only worked with the acrylics you can get cheap at the dollar store. This time I used the lovely wool from <a href="http://www.bendigowoollenmills.com.au/">Bendigo Woollen Mills</a>. Even just looking at the scrumptious skeins make my fingers want to start a new work in progress :) </div>

<div>
There have been some quite heated debates about pattern and copyright. I did use part of other patterns to make this but I will happily give them credit but also think I turned them into something new and unique. </div>

I must have it :)</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
I truly hoped for the first time in my life that the person selling them wouldn't know the true value of a fabulous piece of crochet like this one. The yarn alone would have been a fortune...</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
So a tentative question revealed the price... </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
$20. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
I didn't even haggle like you are usually supposed to on these markets...</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
And now it's mine. I put it in my son's room next to his little upcycled book shelf. He loves books and now we can snuggle up under a beautiful blanket and discover where that green sheep went...</div>
