I mentioned in the last post that I spent the weekend crocheting. I had a blast of inspiration. In my mind I kept seeing large flower pins. Do people still wear these? I don't know but they sure were fun to make! Some of the materials used: lace weight mohair, orange thrifted button, and star sequins.
The tender heart back of the yellow flower. Red wool felt sewn to blue/green/yellow silk yarn. It looks nice without the pin but how will it stay up without it?
Mohair, alpaca, sequins, bead, ochre felt
mohair, wool, sequins, felt, button
cashmere, button, tweed, mohair, sequins
angora, tweed, button, sequins
All pins are about 4".

Those are really, really cool!
I heart your fleurs big time.
Esp. the first one, with the tender heart on the back.
Lovely.
these are beautiful! i especially love the little handsewn stitches on the red hearts.
The first and the last ones are particularly endearing to me. Great work Kat. Maybe I too should pick up a hook sometime!
Thank you! Making these has been super fun, one of the few times that me and crochet got along. But now I'm hooked haha.
So gorgeous! May even be enough to tempt me to try crochet...
OMG, I LOVE these, Kat! Each one so pretty and unique. Love!
Who cares if people still wear them or not. They are beautiful!
They are all so pretty. Love the tender heart, too.
Oh, Kat, I love you!! You always have the most creative ideas. Where did you get your pattern for the flower pins? They're awesome!! I like the first one the best. Those are some of my favorite colors!
Beautiful pictures! It looks like lots of fun too.
Those are wonderful!
