5/23/05 Finished Project Tinkerbell

[goldi316]

That really turned out awesome! :cheer:yay:cheer

 

I'd go with a rainbow border, since you're asking for recommendations. I think it would give it a good frame that way. Can hardly wait to see it finished, and to hear all about how your grand-daughter is gonna yak your ears off raving about it!

 

And yes, I too am curious to see what the backside looks like...

[crochetdiva]

It is fabulous!!! I love the edging too. You are just incredible, can you even see your hands move or are they a blur? LOL My twenty year old is so jealous, she loves tinkerbell, and wants you to adopt her. I told her "get in line".

Mary Jo, very nice!! Where did you get the pattern for the edging? I have some fleece blankets to edge and that would be perfect!

[creativegoodness]

Send it right away!!!! I am excited for them to get them...lol. I how Tinkerbell turned out, and I am sure that they will love having them on their beds, and that ac can get pretty chilly sometimes;)

Hi everyone,

 

Thank you for your warm and fuzzy praise on the afghan.

 

As for the edging, it is very simple. I sc in any sc and then I chain 5, skip 2 and sc in next sc. That is it. I do this all the way around the first row.

 

Row two: If I change colors, I sc in any loop with new color, chain 5 then sc in next chain.

 

If I do not change colors, I do row one then slip stitch 2 times in first loop, ch1 sc then chain 5 then sc in next loop.

 

It is really the simplist way to edge something. If you like, you can add to the number of chs. ex: row 2 sc chain 6. or you can make a double loop in each corner. That is what is so nice about this edging. You can do anything you want.

 

Hope this answers the question.
