Wavy crochet bunting ▼▽▼▽▼

I bought a lovely variegated yarn and took it with me when I visited my parents and in the car I doodled and crocheted and frogged a lot of random things .. I had no idea what I wanted to crochet and if I wanted to crochet at all .. and then after 7hours in the car when I was almost home again I felt like the yarn wanted to become bunting (it seems like I am having a bunting-fever over here)


Abrevations used (US terms):
ch – chain stitch
sl st – slip stitch
sc – single crochet
hdc – half double crochet

Ribbon bunting!

More colour more fun ;)


I had this ribbon drawer .. 
That would be something I could say if I were fancy .. to be honest I just had a seperate plastic bag for them in my big bag of wrapping paper and gift bags .. and yes that doesn't sound even half as nice as ribbon drawer ..
O, well - it served it's purpose well - it held all the ribbons from previously received gifts, from gifts I had packed myself and used less ribbon than I had expected and what not.


And it seamed to me that there are sooooo much ribbons there, that I figured why not ribbon bunting!

Last years garden bunting! :)

Last year for my birthday (and the rest of the summer of course) I made bunting for the first time ever! It looked so cheerful and made the garden look more mine (that was important to me because at that time we didn't live in the house jet, we just used the garden) :)
And of course I have an idea for this years bunting too (coming up soon) - must be quick celebration time is almost here :D


And it cost me next to nothing :P
I used two old jeans (red and violet) from "reuse basket" and some cheap fabric I had bought in store where they sell all kind of fabric scraps on weight.
