marigold mile.

A couple of months ago I released a crochet pattern for a scarf/shawl called the "Marigold Mile". The name for the shawl was inspired by the long rows of pretty orange and yellow flowers that fill many of our meridians during the months of summer. At the time of the patterns release I had wanted to include a picture of the flowers, but it was still to early in the year. Now, that the flowers are in full bloom I thought that I would take the opportunity to share a picture of what has been dubbed by our city as the Marigold Mile...

 

 

...and here's a picture of the shawl whose name was inspired by pretty coloured blossoms.
