Mini crochet

I got a little bit silly with excitement when I finished making my mini crochet cherry necklace last night. It's such a triumph for me as I really had no belief that I could do it BUT was desperate to have teeny tiny crochet things to put in my hair, hang on my wrist and around my neck. So, with gung ho determination I just plunged right in and proved that I could actually handle such skinny cotton and a tiny hook. I am a little bit chuffed with how this pair of cherries turned out. Wanna see?

Stuffing these teeny crochet cherries was a challenge followed by closing them up, so much so you have probably spotted some of the hollow fibres sticking out of them. I have pulled these all out now and hopefully no more will appear.

It is the sweetest thing I have ever made, I just love it so. If you have been visiting here for a while you might of read this post about where the pattern comes from for this delicate crochet. I'm excited to get making more now that my confidence has grown with this.

Here is my hand again to give a little perspective to the size of the cherries. Some of you noticed my wedding ring in the last post about my tiny crochet. I did blog about my ring way back in 2011 here, it's weird looking back at my old posts. I don't tend to look back, however if you want to a little read about my ring, please do x

Alice very happily wore it to school today, it was a mufti-day for raising money for a charity, a perfect opportunity to enjoy a little creation by her mum.

I hope you all have a fabulous sunshine filled week

See you all soon
