In Which I Made My Mom A Gift |
I should be finished with the stocking soon, but I took a wee break to make my mother a birthday gift, since today's the day, y'know?
I used this pattern and an old spool of American thread Co Gem Mercerized Cotton color 176 in size 30 with a 0.6mm hook, and I think it came out well! She certainly seemed to like it, since she put it on the windowsill where she'll see it every day :)
It's fairly small, only about as big as my hand, but it's cute as heck! |
I'm pretty proud of the 3D effect of the central flower, and hopefully some day I'll actually be able to do the treble popcorn stitch, but I couldn't get it to work on this project. Instead, I substituted a three-treble-cluster stitch in place of the popcorns. It still looks great :)
I'll be working on the stocking the rest of this week and hope to have finished shots by next Monday!
For now, that's all I've got the energy for - I'm bushed :P
Go Enjoy Something!
