These were kind of fun to make. I was inspired by
kootoyoo when I saw her ring on
feeling stitchy when she was showing us her favorite embroidery book. I tried to get it out of my head because I did not need another project to obsess about. Since I am the way I am I had to make one I could not shake it.
My first one as you can see on the far right was huge and would not be right and the embroidery floss was a bit wonky. I decided to try to use pearl floss and it worked like a dream. You can also use #10 crochet thread too, it works wonderful. I have tons of that from my Great-Grandma. I used a size 8 crochet hook 1.5mm and size 8 embroider floss. Then I just followed regular granny square instructions.
My second oldest niece has asked for one of her own. She wants it to be red, yellow and green. So I will see what I can come up that does not look like a stop light.
Do you ever get like that and you have to finish something before you can work on anything else?
Now that school is over and end of year concerts and lock-ins are over I can blog to my hearts content or until we head out on a camping trip.
