Linen daisies

Too many thoughts today. Refuse to be organized. All the boxes and stuff I should pack are spread on the floor, equally unorganized. Sigh. A good thing about moving a lot, though, is that you have so little stuff that you know it can be packed in few hours.


But here's a crochet daisy bonnet of linen-rayon yarn. Pattern can be found in Betty Barnden's The Crochet Stitch Bible (which is certainly my personal bible). Behind it a derelict yard in Haapsalu, Estonia, and Baltic sea.

(I don't like working with plant fibres as much as with wool. They never work quite the way I'd like. Fibers are too long and independent, always going to the wrong side of the hook. But it's summer. Not a wool season. Instead it's a butterfly season. I saw a beautiful orange tip—and a picture of an orange tip trinket someone had made.)
