Very pretty!! I love the color change in the middle. I meant to do that with mine, but forgot until after I was on beyond those rows. :blush I hope mine dries from it's blocking half as nice as yours.

:lol of course I know what cheesy is. :P Hopefully none of my work can ever be called cheesy... :D:lol

 

I have seen some of your work, and I would never call it cheesy. You do beautiful work. :cheer

Thank you. I try my best. I enjoy the challenge of some of these projects. I enjoy pushing my boundries into something I normally wouldn't touch. (I'm not a doily kind of person so most thread projects just don't hold an interest for me, therefore I really wasn't keen on learning....)

Oh my goodness! I hope none of you took me seriously about the cheese! It was only cause you used the cheese can...I know you know that! I totally agree with your dad!

 

And I wasn't calling your work that :nworthy (I don't even want to say the word again!). I was just naming the pants!

 

Please forgive me if there was any misunderstanding. I can be just full of silliness if given 1/100,000th of a chance.

I am on my lunch break and just had a knock down drag out with my digital camera. I hate to say this but it beat me!

I have no photo to post at this time.

For starch I used J&P Coats Crochet Thread Stiffener. I have only used it once before on angels and snowflakes for Christmas. I picked it up at a yard sale (unopened) for 25 cents. Normally I would use Alenes fabric stiffener.

 

The colors I used were mint green w/hot pink trim. The labels from the thread are long gone but I'm pretty sure it was SouthMaid #10 cotton.

Sorry about the lack of photo. I just got a tax refund so I just might see if I can't find a new camera this week.

 

I am making 2 more this week for Easter gifts. One will be white/lilac trim ( I think the lilac is Knit Cro Sheen) and the other, lilac/mint green trim. #10 thread and size 6 steel hook. Maybe I can get the camera issue resolved and get some photos posted ASAP.

Thank you again for the adorable pattern.:manyheart

btw/ the finished product without handle is just over 1/2 the height of a pop can and about the width of a large plastic bottle of McCormick Schilling Cinnamon (which was my starching form)

Brenda, your basket looks fantabulous! Very pretty with the color change in the middle!

 

Mine is very wet with starch right now and has me worried. It's so droopy! This is the 2nd time I starched it. I didn't let it even dry from the 1st time because there just wasn't enough starch on it, so I redid it. I hope I'm there when it needs me to shape the frilliness and to turn it over.

 

But yours is adorable! I pray mine turns out okay!

Sheryl, the colors all sound like beautiful combinations! Can't wait for pics! Borrow someone's camera!

 

I want to make at least one in thread but I also have some crocheted Easter eggs I want to make. Plus I have some other things I've got to finish! I have got to go off CALs!

 

So glad you joined in the fun and Sarah did do a wonderful job and came up with a lovely pattern.

:manyheart:hug

Suzy, Ohhhh, that bear must be so tiny and petite and it just looks so adorable! I forgot you used #10 thread.

 

Again, I ask, the pattern for the bear?

Suzy, I love the idea of making miniatures out of thread. The bear is cute, but yours is too cute! Do you know what the Lens Award is?

 

OH, EDIT: Thank you for the link!

I think this might work now.

The photo is not quite right. I used a "cheesy" camera.

 

Sheryl

Uh oh! There's that word again! :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

 

It looks so delicate and pretty! Thanks for sharing!

 

Guess I better go check on mine and see how it's drying!
