I decided to start a new project to change things up. I am still working on the ripple blanket for my friend. I finally decided I needed a little side project. I was on Pinterest and saw an adorable bow garland. I went to the Ravelry site and saw a ton of cute crochet patterns. I found one I love and bought it. I could totally picture it in my daughter’s room. I started thinking of colors. she recently got a new bed with a new comforter. I looked at it and started trying to match yarn to it.
I have colors that are very similar but not exactly the same. I think I am going to go ahead and use them. They’re just so pretty! And I don’t think anyone will scold me if everything doesn’t match perfectly in her room
These colors are also in the cute letters my friend Rachel made me awhile back. Matching the blanket to the letters was a total accident by the way! This picture doesn’t show the exact colors of them. I promise they’re close
Ready to see the project I want to do? Here it is!
Garland of Colorful Hearts from One and Two Company
I think it’s so cute! I am either going to make it longer for her room or make two and have it swoop down twice, if that makes sense. I hope to start it today. What are your thoughts on the yarn colors? Think they’re close enough?
……………….
Oh and I wanted to share this little find on Ravelry. I think it is so cute! I’d buy one but honestly, I think 98% of the people who see it will have no idea what it means.

Isn’t it adorable though??

I think your colors are just perfect. How sweet this will look and yes I think the shirt is adorable. Wouldn't most people know what a wip is?
Libby says
I noticed these on Rav too, very cute and just perfect for your sweet daughters room. I'm looking forward to seeing how they turn out as I have had a pattern for the same designer which was a little hard to follow x

I like those colors, so pretty 🙂 I bought the butterfly garland and am making it in similar colors. I love the 'WIP' shirt, I wish I could have another baby so I could get it

I love the hearts for your daughter's room. I think your colors are just fine and will go with everything else in the room. And the "WIP" shirt….I have to get one of those for my daughter. She's 12 weeks and this is sooooo cute.
Jo says
I love the colors. If it's not directly next to it, I don't think anyone will notice the colors don't match exactly. I love the WIP shirt, that is so cute. You should buy it, then you can just explain it to people that ask. 🙂
Shari says
Look how sweet…she is a cutie! Reminds me of when my little girl was that age…I had so much fun decorating her room with cute ideas like this…I didn't make the garland..but I did make some what of a garland but made it to be tie backs for her curtains! The colors you choose are pretty close that it will blend in well with the color combination in her room!! Great job, it's just darling!
