The stars and circles thing is quite easy really but I have found that the biggest circles that work are no more than five rounds in size otherwise they get a bit 'crinkly' round the edges. I found a video online showing how to crochet five-pointed stars in order to fill in the gaps. Trouble is I don't know what to do with the edges - I'd like to make them straight, like in a proper blanket, but I've no idea how to do it!Mrs Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289121990808465890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528663482752743529.post-1005627840338607252010-02-21T20:43:42.570+00:002010-02-21T20:43:42.570+00:00Forgot to say - I am a big fan of Gudren Sjoden, w...Forgot to say - I am a big fan of Gudren Sjoden, wonderful clothes.

I am going through the whole forty something old age eyes thing to, and I am short sighted as well as long sighted now so have to carry two pairs of specs or buy varifocal. But so expensive!

The scarf took probably about a week to do altogether, although there were days when I literally did nothing but crochet it (and I mean ALL day) and then others when I only did a row or two. I followed this tutorial - http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/neat-ripple-pattern.html - which shows exactly how to do it. The foundation chain has to be in combinations of 14 plus 4 for turning. My scarf was 3 x 14 (i.e., 42) plus 4, therefore 46 chain stitches to get it going. Obviously you can make it shorter or longer but it has to be in groups of 14 (plus the extra 4). Give it a go, it's really terribly simple once you get going.<br /><br />The pins are made from 1mm wire but I'm not sure what gauge that is.<br /><br />I really must get to the allotment soon....Mrs Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289121990808465890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528663482752743529.post-84998899021432143782010-02-15T15:32:48.990+00:002010-02-15T15:32:48.990+00:00I so love your hair colour, and yep this is a real...I so love your hair colour, and yep this is a really nice photo of you even though its a little out off focus.<br /><br />Your scarf is beautiful how long did it take you to do?<br /><br />I love those pins, I have made these in the past as a practice thingy but I think my wire gauge wasn't strong enough, do you mind sharing what strength wire you used?<br /><br />I finally made it to the lotty today for a short while, which I'll blog aboout later.Kellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007237364629419063noreply@blogger.com
