Dragonflies represent many things.
Vitality, poise and beauty. They can be a sign of future changes, and a sense of harmony in relationships.
I always find myself smiling and my mood improving, when I am lucky enough to spy a dragonfly going about its day, totally oblivious of the worlds troubles and trials.
Dragonflies have become my signature design focus and while this is my first attempt at a wall hanging, it will not be my last.
I set about creating this beautiful piece as a gift for my daughter and was very pleased with the results. I loved it so much that three proto-types in various yarns, were produced during the design process.
The first wall hanging was created with Yarnart Flowers in blue shades as I felt my daughter would appreciate these colours. This yarn was ideal for a wall hanging and the final result was brilliant,
The second of three, I chose to use Scheepjes Whirl in Turquoise Turntable. This colour was chosen with another relative in mind. The Whirl is just slightly thinner than Yarnart Flowers but it worked well and the same size hook was used.
Number three was made as another gift and Hobbii Sultan Deluxe from my sizable yarn stash, in the colour Baltic Amber was used. I love working in this yarn and I feel that of the three this one was my favourite.
My amazing pattern testers used varying yarns with some incredible results and their works can be viewed on the dedicated pattern page via the webpage button below.
