Miss Millies Chicken Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I lOvE it! Did you do various lengths of rectangles and then sew them together over the rails? What a bargain and such a unique piece Yes thats how I did it. The boring bit was weaving in the ends for each colour change. Plus the upright legs taper in and out so I had to keep adjusting the width of the band. I'm really chuffed how it has turned out. This was my first big project done without a pattern to follow. I taught myself to crochet a couple of years ago with the book "crochet unravelled" that was recommended on this forum. I have only done a few cushion covers and a few small toys up to now. Who knows whats next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 That really is a beautiful chair. You have put a lot of effort into that. I would pay good money to have a chair like that in my house, and such lovely, vibrant colours too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Wow that is amazing. I love the colours, I think it would make you smile everyday. I would never have thought you could use crochet for such a project. Chrissie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleTree Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 That chair is amazing! I don't think I'd have enough patience to finish it. I'm making a crochet bag using an Attic 24 pattern, I'm about half way up the sides. I try and do another row every afternoon, but I've been so tired lately & find it so relaxing I've been struggling to keep my eyes open. I'm also making a granny square blanket, joining the squares as I go. It might get finished by next Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 My latest garment. The wool is called "Dotty Plum" which made me laugh as I thought of "our" Plum when I bought it. Ta da! It's a bit big if I'm honest, but I'll still wear it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimnpaula Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Looks good, and it's come out better than my crochet jumper which is too small! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsylabrador Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Still knitting socks like crazy. I love sock wool, i've heard of some that knit up like animal pelt-Zebra, tiger etc. The socks I have are are very tough, forgiving and so cosy. The patterns are fun. Best of all- no blocking, seams or so on. I don't possess the patience and skill that you all have. I love seeing what you make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I'm tempted to have a go at socks I'd love to know if I could turn a good heel, but using more that 2 needles seems terrifying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Millies Chicken Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Space chick Give the Violet Green free sock pattern a go. I've found its one of the easiest to follow for turning the heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackrocksrock Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 No its a cotton duvet cover from Tesco reduced in the sale for £8 backing!! I bought other stuff but did not like it - its the first time I have really managed to get quilting right - the secret really is measure measure measure and iron. The single duvet was slightly small so I had to have a few inches from the front side and cut it in one - then found out when I finished my quilt that the seams on the duvet are not matched - that annoyed me after it was finished though. Missouri star quilt company are great on tutorials on utube - they really explain things well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
