Well, in the process, I pulled a muscle in my back --nothing serious -- just a bit of tightness, but it became a bit difficult to sit at the sewing machine --- maybe it was even working at the sewing machine that caused the 'pull'.
So for the last few days I haven't been sitting at the sewing machine, hunched over (not really hunched) making things but instead sitting in my recliner making some more crochet snowflakes from the book I mentioned a month or so ago called 100 Snowflakes
In the last two days I have managed to crochet 14 of these little treats! I am thinking I might put some of them into my etsy shop, once I have got them blocked and stiffened...
For a few of these snowflakes from the book, I have actually been 'elaborating' on the designs and creating a few of my own variations!
I haven't shown any of my very own versions here, but basically I have adjusted a few of the designs from the book that are 6 pointed stars to either 5 pointed stars or even a few 8 pointed stars...
Being my own designer is quite the process, tho in a couple of cases, my written instruction was not so clear, even to myself, so to make a second one, I will have to look at the original to make a second one! If I get the writing instruction straightened out I'm sure I would find my own designs easier to understand!
And since he has not appeared for awhile on the blog here is a peek at WALTER, peeking at birds that are sitting on the roof of the townhouse across from ours...
