That's beautiful. What level of skill would you need to attempt this? I'm a novice (I've practiced the stiches, but have no idea how to read instructions and have never made anything useful - yet. My mom is coming to visit for the holidays (she crochets) and I'm looking for a project. Should I bookmark this and start with something else?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Hi There Jeanette,
ReplyDeleteI would say that this pattern is at least intermediate and not really suitable for a beginner. If your Mom is going to be visiting perhaps she could assess if she thinks it would be suitable for you. Thanks for your question and best wishes :-)
I like the look of this. Can you please tell me how you joined it up and the extra couple rows at the bottom to finished it off?
ReplyDeleteI have printed off some of your beautiful patterns. I teach knitting and crochet to beginners (although some of them have a great deal of skill) and I think some of them would love your designs too.
Looking forward to hearing from you. :)

So pretty! Thanks for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI tried printing the instructions, but the paper came out blank. How were you able to print the picture, and instructions Deanne? :^)
