Crochet filet and away

Just finished the final class of the course tonight. This time we looked at filet crochet. I searched the internet and found a free pattern for a dragonfly.

This is the link http://crochet.about.com/library/weekly/aa090405.htm

And this is the nearly completed piece. Really quick to do. Apologies as this is not a good photo, it's quite late at night.



I have really enjoyed delivering this course, I have also learnt a lot from the research I did. Looking forward to doing this course again in the future.

My next challenge is English Paper Piecing Patchwork, a new course that I am running this weekend. There are still a couple of places left. If you live near Shap and are free on Saturday, ring the Shap CDC on 01931 716447 to book a place.

      Hi Gilly, yes you must give it a go. You don't have to use thin cotton, you could use anything. Mighty relieved there isn't loads of snow this morning so I can get to the EPPP venue today.

      Hi, thank you. Now I know what I'm doing I think I may start another. There's a pattern for a rose which I think looks great.

      Thank you Elizabeth. Was thinking of making a cafe style curtain for my kitchen using it. But that's another of my, wish I had time to do, items on the list.

      Thank you Chrissie. I've always liked dragonflies. You don't see them as often as I did when a kid. Last one I saw was in the car park at work 3 years ago. Damsel flies are more common.

      Thank you Joy. I've frogged it now, thinking of making it with small hook and thinner thread.
