Blue bunting for Blaire

Lovely title, no? Sadly (purely for alliterative purposes) her name isn't actually Blaire. It's a hilarious in-joke between me and one other friend when my olde Nokia 3310 (remember them?? T'was the height of sophistication at the time) autocorrected her real name to Blaire. (Obviously, it's totally impossible to guess what her real name is.) I don't know about you, but I've never met anyone called Blaire in real life.

Anyway. Back to the point, and some lovely (I think) bunting. Pics:


Unusually clutter-free mantelpiece. No, I'm not keen on the flowery stuff either. But LOOK AT THE BUNTING!


Close-up. Stylecraft DK in petrol, turquoise, cloud blue and denim. But you knew that anyway, right?


One more pic for luck....

If it looks familiar, it's because it was in Simply Crochet and is Attic24's Summer bunting pattern, which you can read about here. See how I am challenging gender stereotypes by doing blue for a girl. Or, also because I just prefer blue...

I got my buttons from the lovely Stephanie at Berry Nice Crafts. I believe Wool Warehouse are doing an Attic bundle of the four balls plus buttons Berry's are cheaper

I haven't seen the bunting in situ yet, as Blaire lives not that close to me in the big, big city. But I think it was a success...
