Egzandra Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I have a lovely lamp that was my mother's, but the edging is a bit curled up. I look at it and imagine a lovely crochet beaded edging maybe with beads hanging down. Does anyone know of any patterns for this type of thing, and I'll have that old edging off in a flash! Thank you, crafty people. Egzandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Oooh, crochet is perfect for that kind of thing! Get some fine crochet cotton or perle and maybe add some beads. Can only find a coupe of edging type designs in a book I have, maybe worth looking on ravelry or googling for freebie patterns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egzandra Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Thankyou for your reply. I did what you said and found some on About.com, also I am sure I must have a book of edgings somewhere. I have so many ideas for crafty things going round in my head, but so little time to do them all in! Also I have got an old cylinder shape 70's pouffe that I want to sew a stretch denim cover for, and then crochet an over-cover in string to put over it. That should look nice.

Know what you mean about having so many ideas and not enough time! I like the sound of the pouffe - there is a similar design in my crochet book. It looks fab!
