All done! I'm feeling proud!
My Wee Girl is going to love this and it's going to look just awesome with her denim jacket.
I crocheted the flowers together top and bottom using two petals for strength, then for added security, I used lime green cotton to edge the whole thing in single crochet. I used a 1.75mm hook to do the edging and that raised the petals slightly .
I also added a decoration to each end, a flower bead and a circle made of the same cottons one end and a simple flower at the other. Both hang off a chain.
It's not super long nor is it super thick or warm, this is purely decorative.
I so cannot wait to go pick her up from her friends this afternoon and give it to her.
Each flower measures 8cm across and there are 14 in all. I'm so, so happy with the way it turned out! I'm considering using left overs from her blanket to create a winter scarf for her with hearts and or stars. It's the perfect time of year to make smaller projects.
This morning saw my husband wake up with the worst stiff neck in history. He's had a stiff neck that has slowly got worse since Boxing day, he has no idea what he's done to it but the pain was so bad last night that he was up every other hour. So this morning saw us off to A+E for some relief for him. He has the added complication of being on duty for Fire calls so he can't take any really decent medication. Hopefully the muscle relaxant and will help.
