My Turn

I think I did it, with a minimum of discomfort and insecurity. I did frog it once, almost back to the start because it curled so badly. I still have to add the 'tail' to it to make it a bookmark, but I'm pleased for my first project. It's #10 thread and a size 7 hook.

 

I may be able to tackle that poinsettia after all! <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/clap.gif" />

Wow!!!

That is spectacular!

 

I'm not in love with thread yet. I tried to do a few bookmarks for end of school teacher gifts. I tried a few different patterns and they looked nothing like the pictures lol!

 

I winged it and got some fairly odd looking things, I told myself they were free form ;-)

What's next, a pineapple tablecloth? (I've never attempted one of those either.)

Looks great! It's not so bad once you get used to it, but it is hard to get used to if you love yarn!

LOL - what, that pineapple on the table doesn't qualify? <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/wha.gif" /> I was hoping like crazy it did! <img border=0 src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif" />

Looks great Julie! :thumbsup

Pineapple on the table=pineapple tablecloth? I got a laugh out of that! If I ever do a tablecloth (big "if") it will be one continuous one and not motifs. I dislike motifs with a passion and I've never even done that many of them. Some of them are lovely, though... sigh. :bigsmile

That's beautiful, Julie! I hope my first looks half that good! :wha

[Julie]

I'm sure it will Donna, by leaps and bounds better. I know you've been playing with it for longer than I have. <img border=0 src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif" />

Not by much. I've made two small flowers (about one inch diameter) a few tiny leaves, and tried the first couple of rows of a bookmark but frogged it because it was too loose (didn't have quite the right size hook). :b

:clap :clap I think you did a great job ~~ Don't give up you'll learn to love thread ~

It's looks really great. And I really liked your choice of colors. I've been enjoying working with thread again. I used to only make doilies.
