I found a bag of peacock feathers from the Saga of the Peacock Blanket!
I don’t want to scrap them but they’re all different shapes and sizes, because I used the project to learn to crochet…
What on earth am I going to do with them?!

They are so cute! I’d be tempted to make a few more, then find a way to work them up into square to join to make a blanket…
-
Alas, the yarn is long gone! Also it took me so long to make the original blanket that I’m a bit scarred by it…
-
I understand that!

Could you crochet a set of placemats with 4 of the “feathers” in the middle or one in each corner?? They are so pretty.
-
Maybe! We don’t actually use place mats but perhaps someone else would.

They are too pretty to not use! Maybe they could become a blanket?
-
Alas, the first blanket was such a drawn out process that I wouldn’t want to do it again!
-
Ahh yes fair enough!

Are they big enough to be drinks coasters?
-
Some of them are – but I fear not sturdy enough. Maybe two sewn back to back?

What about a hanging wall decoration? They look great :)
-
Aw thank you. Maybe something I could frame would be the way forward?
-
Yeah, that could work 😃

Very pretty. Make a peacock!

That sent me searching for patterns and there are some ideas out there that might just work! I especially like this https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/767389698/crochet-pattern-patrick-the-peacock

Looks perfect to me!
-
Yep that looks ideal for using them and would be a fun project

They are beautiful! You do need to use them for something!
-
I realised while thinking about it that, if I want, I can re-do the big ones to tighten them up and make them all more uniform.
Hasn’t helped me decide though!

Wow nice find! What about a table runner?

Our table always has a board game on it! 😂
