Since I've already owned up to being a total Granny, I have no shame in showing off my pink Granny Bunting (thanks to Crochet with Raymond for the tutorial)!
I love bunting, but have only ever made fabric bunting before (here & here). This crochet bunting was really fun and quite simple to make. I can see how it could get addictive... the only thing holding me back from making more was seeing (once again) the colour draining from my husbands face as I held the bunting up in the girls room to ask him for his opinion.
He is seriously sooooooooo out of touch with the current bunting fashion... I hope think *cough cough*
Anyway, the girls think it is fab, I like it, and I'm off now to crochet my husband a little cute chain of Granny Bunting to hang in his car.

Wow... bunting! To decorate Miss Piggy's room...
ReplyDeleteA whole world of previously undiscovered girliness just opened up in my mind!!!
Thanks for the inspiration!
I love bunting and your granny bunting totally rocks!!
ReplyDeleteI hear crochet bikinis are in fashion... These buntings could be easily converted ;-)
ReplyDeleteoh I totally LOVE it!! Yes, your hubby is obviously out of touch..lol.
ReplyDeleteCant wait to see the crochet bunting for his car *grin*
Im also going to have to get my crochet sorted!!
Love it! How about a giant crocheted set of dice for his car????
ReplyDeleteThat would be a very itchy bikini Syms ;)
ReplyDeleteAhhh LOVE this would be an amazing little touch at our wedding, note taking out loud.
ReplyDeleteClever you! xx
So cute!
ReplyDeleteUm, ADORABLE!! The colour, style, spacing, love it all. Love Posie
ReplyDeleteHa! Zan too! He detests bunting with such a passion, because apparently it makes everything feel 'circusy' (and what's wrong with THAT?)
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute... and I LOVE the hot pink color!
ReplyDeleteOh I thought you were going to say it was in your shop!!.... I LOVE it :-) lol so make one for hubby's car that would be ace :-)
ReplyDeleteI love all the bunting I've been seeing, but I have refrained from making any because I'm pretty sure my husband would run screaming from the house. I keep trying to think of some way to make a more manly (or at least unisexy) bunting, but I can't seem to make that work. (Haha!) BTW, last summer I SO wanted to crochet a bikini, but I chickened out. (If you use mercerized cotton it doesn't itch.)
ReplyDeleteYours turned out so beautifully!
ReplyDeleteLOL @ Symon's comment!
ReplyDeleteLooks fab Kristy!
Love it! It looks so gorgeous in your beautiful daughter's room! But I absolutely think you need to make another set to stretch right across the window, and then maybe a set for the door too!
ReplyDeleteOoh... my darling would die if I put bunting in the car, it made me smile to think about her reaction!!!!!
XXXXX
VERY COOL!! Not 'Granny' at all!!
ReplyDeletere: Symon's comment: My mum made some crochet bikinis when she was young but the bottoms were rapidly undone & swept away with the first wave at the beach!!! (this may only encourage him though......) ;D
you make crochet cool :) I LOVE the pink color (I finally have a girl after 3 boys and I'm realizing I REALLY hate baby pink!) But bright pink like that?! AWESOME. Ok. I have a giveaway on my blog today....you might be interested, idk :)
ReplyDeleteLove it. I have the same problem with my other half. It's amazing how they can go pale at the very sight of something beautifully handmade isn't it? I think if you make him some for his car it may be grounds for divorce though!
ReplyDeleteRe: Symons comment. My Nanna made me a crochet bikini for my 12th birthday. They really don't work. Wet lacy cotton is just not a good look for bikinis!
That is too cute for words. I would love some in my own room. (Not sure how Hubby would feel about that though...)
ReplyDeleteWell, I love the granny bunting! Perfect for a little's room! And yes - he is a wee bit out of touch!
ReplyDeleteBunting rules! I've never seen crocheted bunting before but it lets the light through in a lovely way. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you got the vote of approval from the ones the count though! The girls look like they think it is awesome. Go Granny bunting! What colors does hubby get? Red for Valentines Day?
ReplyDeleteCompletely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteand when your daughter is bigger you can turn it into bikinis. My husband is out of touch also, I think most men have no idea basically.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! Another Granny here and loving it! Love the pic of your girl, she looks very proud of her bunting!
ReplyDeleteno wonder your girls love it - such fun! Ah well blokes ...
ReplyDeleteI'm majorly in love with this bunting. seriously, amazing!
ReplyDeleteHi there,
