craft results

[ratcreature]

I finally finished that crocheted neckloop I mentioned a while ago:


I'm quite pleased. The pattern I followed (the result doesn't quite look like magazine pictures...) is by Tegan Howes and came from an Australian magazine my library had digitally, which I thought was just called just "Crochet" in a very unimaginative fashion, but actually I just looked closely and it's "Homespun Crochet", but the first part is smaller and in a calligraphic font that gets lost when you look at a small digital cover view. There's the reason why all brand names now are refashioned in boring sans serif...

Very nice. I like the ruffled edges, so pretty.

Thanks!

And yes, those add a little bit of interest to what's mostly just a loop of simple stitches. I'm not an advanced crocheter, so counting anything complicated is out. With this I needed to count to five at most (well aside from the initial chain) and got lost several times even so...

Cool! :)

Thank you.

Very pretty! Love the colors.

Thanks. I saw these on a sale for only 3.99 for a (small) skein and it's 100% merino wool, so I bought a couple because I really liked the color too. And then I had to find something vaguely useful to make. (I try not to hoard yarn because my fiber craft interest is very intermittent and in my 40m2 flat excessive stashing of neat stuff for only potential projects quickly becomes a problem.)

Lovely. I was just envisioning this in emerald but I didn't know how to explain what I want. Now I can show them your image. :D So fun!

Thanks! The pattern in the magazine actually showed a green hued version as one of the examples, which looked nice too.
