Not quite the same ring as "Christmas in July", but it's very Christmassy here with me finally finishing the string lights...
I took the strand outside to give it a different background for the final photos.
All the "lights" are sewn onto the "cord". I finished it up on Saturday. (This is the pattern if you want to make one of your own.)
I probably should have taken more shots like the one above, where you can see the closeup of the "light". Maybe next week. With school in session, I may not have anything else to blog about next Monday, yarn-wise.
I attempted to do a panoramic shot, but it didn't quite come out as I would have liked. I would have spent more time playing with that, but in choosing what to spend my time on right now, I have to use some of it for work prep. Sigh.
So, finished. Finally. Considering that I started this back in October of last year, I've been working on it for a while. But, not seven and a half years, so not too bad, really.
The string lights crochet saga:
I love it! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks. (Oops, meant to set this post to publish tomorrow...)
DeleteLovely 👍
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteA nice long strand! It looks great.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it ended up way longer than I expected. (That's a good thing.)
DeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThat came out so good! I crocheted a baby blanket for my grandson 11 years ago but that was the only thing I made.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fairly simple pattern. The link is in the post.
DeleteThey came out so nice! They'd look so cute hanging up somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI love it! As I've mentioned I just might be tempted to make it, if I ever get my temperature afghan finished (my recent work on it: zero).
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is linked in the post. You totally should try it.
DeleteIt's cool seeing how long the strand is. Congrats on finishing your project.
ReplyDeleteYou finished up just in time (before school starts)! It's really nice, and I get why it's hard to photograph a long string. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteActually, I finished it two days after school started. But close ;)
DeleteCongratulations! They look great and perfect for Christmas time.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteCool!
