This crochet thing…
Apr. 23rd, 2011 10:45 am...makes my shoulders ache in the same way quilting does. 2 more I made y/day eve. I bought a smaller hook so I could try the perle 5 coton I have, and this is the result.
I do wish I had found Mia's tute on how to deal with the ends as you go before I started these--it would have made every thing so much neater and easier.
It doesn't really show in the photo, but the blues are not the same. One is a strong purply blue, with variegated yellow (DMC 798 and Anchor 1304, if you're curious) and the other is more teal blue with copper (Anchor169 and 363)
But me, and crochet! Is still surprised, and all b/c of the wonderful folk who share their skills on their blogs. I forgot to credit where I found the instruction for the african flower (although I see there is some disagreement over how old the pattern is, and who should be credited as the originator) and it was By Elizabeth Cat. I have been reading her blog this morning, and so fascinating it is, and her photos are glorious! Thank you for sharing, Elizabeth!
