I am working on a new project with Linen Soft* yarn by Scheepjes and I am very excited to share some sneaks peeks of what is going on in my crochet world. I am really enjoying the yarn, it a great change from cotton. And I am happy with the colors, too as they give a true “linen touch” to the project. You can read my review on Linen Soft published last week.
As you already know, I am very bad in keeping secrets. So I can tell you I am making a set of photo-frames using embroidery hoops. I came across lots of wonderful pictures with crochet and embroidery hoops on Pinterest. And I’ve finally decided to add my own creations to this collection.
The hoops can be used as photo frames (as I would like them to be, but first I need to figure out how to attach pictures to them). Or they can serve as separate hanging wall decorations. I am making them in overlay crochet and you can expect free patterns very soon. So hopefully you will have lots of fun making them, too.
Update: FREE pattern can be found HERE!
And in a meanwhile I would like to share a short photo tutorial on how to make a crochet base around the embroidery hoop. This base will count as a first round, and different overlay decorations will be added to it later.
The hoop should not be visible between the stitches of the base round (pic. 1) and at the same time, and at the same time stitches should not ruffle (pic. 2).
