I’m the first to admit that this idea still needs work, but I’d got it into my head that I wanted to crochet a frame cover for Maryanne’s Made-It Challenge. So here it is:
The photo is of Alex when she was 8 — and she will kill me if she ever reads this blog! (But she was gorgeous even then, despite one or two missing teeth…)
I’m happy with the stitches I used and the way the cover holds down at the edges, but I need to work another couple of rows of dc on the inside edges. I’ll also probably put a little dab of glue on the corners, just to make sure it stays in place. A flower in one corner might also be nice…or stripes…or a couple of buttons…anyway, you get the idea.
To be continued…
Nice piece of work 
definitely a flower – but then I would say that hey!
:-)
And I’m waiting with bated (baited???) breath for Blog #1….
Jill,
I love your idea of the crocheted frame and I think you should place a flower in the corner too. Thanks for the inspiration.
Love and Hugs,
Tamara
Ok, one flower coming up. Thanks :-)
:)
LOVE it Jill…… What a great idea and I too think a flower would just be the cherry on top! Thanks too for your submission – post coming up!!!
ps, your daughter looks soooooo sweet :)
heh.
Like I said, she would be most put out to see her 8-year-old face there, but I don’t think she follows my blogging activities so I’m safe :-)
Ah, but wouldn’t this be just the time for her to pop in and see what you’re up to? ;)
A crochet frame cover – what an original idea! Yes a flower or buttons could just set it off nicely.
Thanks :-)
Go on, do another with buttons ;) (you knew I would say it!)
I did. Buttons are good, too. Buttons or a flower. Or a flower on this one and then another one with buttons. Sigh.
:-)
