Rainbow's and Hope!

Rainbow's and Hope for life, light and love!

I don't know anyone who's spirits are not lifted when they see a rainbow, and as we have had some very dull and depressing weather of late, which is now due to turn to freezing conditions and snow, with awful financial prospects and low employment rates, we could all do with some hope, some light and even a chance of the fabled pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

I would also like to make a rainbow blog dedication to Pauline (of Pauline's Candles) and her family, for whom rainbows have a very personal and sentimental meaning, giving her hope and peace of mind at times of sadness.

This is a rainbow, I captured from my front garden, only a couple of weeks ago. The whole family came out to look at it as it was so bright and vivid!

I recently discovered this wonderful designer yarn, (Deny's Brunton Magicolour) and once I started crocheting with it, could not put it down until I had used up every last fibre.

This is a delicate version of the rainbow, maybe a fairy rainbow with the emphasis on lilacs and mauve's. I managed to created a slouchy hat, scarf with floral corsage on a kilt pin, and a pair of fingerless mittens. All available for closer inspection, by clicking on the pictures.

Rainbow Feature Gallery!

I quested far and wide in the land of Folksy for rainbow inspired items, and these are a few of the stunning items discovered, I am sorry I could not included everything found, but the blog was becoming so long, so I hope you will continue to search for your rainbow, if it is not within this selection.
