Well... it was a speedy project, but I'm not quite finished yet...
The main body is done, but I am trying to decide on what kind of a trim to go with...
At first I had a beaded trim in mind, using an assortment of reclaimed wooden beads... only then I thought that although it would LOOK FABULOUS, it could be terribly uncomfortable if you were sitting with beads running across you back!
I don't think that I really want to do tassels... they would bulky up that whole boosie area... and I don't really need any more bulk there!
Don't really want to leave it plain either... so I'll have a play around with it later... and let you know what I come up with
Gorgeous colours agan! You crochet faster than I comment :)))
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you've used! I think wooden beads would be lovely, but probably uncomfortable. Maybe do a "lace" trim? Like this...http://www.heirloomcrochet.com/ppcartierbresson3trim.jpg?? Don't do the tassels and maybe play around with the shape? Just some ideas (:

Could you get a yarn with a sparkly thread running through it and then do a super long chain and weave it through the last edge? Or maybe a metallic thread and crochet that to give it a bit of ooomph without being uncomfortable?
ReplyDeleteI like how it turned out! can't wait to see the trimming you choose!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, this looks lovely. Can't think of any useful decoration suggestions - I shall wait to see what you come up with.
