My experiment in Mosaic Crochet ( Ruffled Crochet)

[goodie2shoes]

I guess that is what it is called I saw a few post here on the ville about it then some links to patterns, so following a little of this and a little of that, I made mine with a grid of 19 squares by 19 squares. I used leftover lustersheen, I think that is about equivilent to size 3 thread and a C crochet hook.

 

I was interested in the technique, I am just not sure what one would use it in except for hot pads and maybe a bath matt or kitchen rug??? I mean it is interesting but what to do with the technique now???

 

And the back looks like this...

That looks great! I started one of those, but never finished.... Seeing how well yours turned out makes me want to get mine out and finish it up. Great job.

[Monique39]

You did great!

[cher49]

[ThePlushPets]

OOoooh! Very pretty! I love that.

[Krakovianka]

That's cute! The only other thing I thought of using the technique for was a little girls' purse--I may still do that one of these days.

Very pretty. I have one that I use as a hot pad that I got from a garage sale. I was always courious to how they were made, then ran across a pattern, one from Annie's magazines. I found it fasinating, but haven't tried it yet.

Amazing technique!

[threadlover]

Looks great. I like the colors you used. I still haven't tried that yet. Someday.

The basic Idea here

 

http://www.craftyarncouncil.com/projects/july99_crochet_2.html

 

you make a grid of chains and DC then work around the chains and Dc's on the squares of the grid.

I know clear as mud but it is very easy just time consuming.

 

Ok nother explaination on the blog here.

I have made a few as potholders and have thought about making one for a kitchen rug if I could ever find the right colors. I think they are very cool looking!

[embee]

I've not seen that before, and thanks for your explanation. Now I understand! At first I thought it was on a *plastc* grid! Not quite sure what I'd do with it.... Bet it uses lots of yarn/thread, too.

Very nice :cheer:cheer

In high school I made pillows like that that was back in 82.

[esiepiela]

WOW..that is really cool! Great job!

[texasredhead]

That's wiggly crochet!!! You did a great job!! Isn't it so fun!!!!!!!

 

The grid making is tedious for me, but I love the other parts and it turns out so cute!!!
