Down the Lane

Last year I crocheted a daffodil for my coat (thanks to Lucy at Atiic 24), and had so many comments about it! I wanted to make a wreath and although not hard, they are fiddly, and me having the patience of a newt, I never got round to it!

So this year, I thought it may be a little easier as I am a little bit more experienced, so put my mind to it! Can't honestly say it was easier, especially when my grandchildren wanted a daff each when they saw them, then a friend came round for coffee and I had to make her one too!!

So... in pictures.....











And in its final position....

It's beautiful Helen

That's beautiful Helen!

I do like that,.

It's lovely. A nice idea to frame the mirror.
Ilona

I love that I do xx

Glad you all like it! I am rather pleased with it although just don't ask what the frame is! I went about it completely the wrong way and over complicated it no end - it was very Heath Robinson

The bottom pic is my front door Ilona! Sadly I took it in overnight as there have been several thefts in the village recently. Seems such a shame but I would be gutted if it went missing

Ooops, I didn't notice, Helen. In that case I would be very wary of leaving it outside in the daytime as well. After all that work you wouldn't want to lose it. Could you put it inside a window, to be seen from the outside?
Ilona

Yes I could put it on the inside of the glass I guess, although sadly, it would lose a certain something I think. I will see.

I have put bells on my gate so they tinkle when someone comes in. Bet the house alarm companies are shaking in their boots with this security innovation

Its beautiful Helen, am so very jealous

I agree that it looks better where it is in it's frame. I was going to say that it looked good on the mirror, too.

If you can make that lovely blanket, you can do daffodils

It is beautiful Helen and I am jealous because I don't crochet. About time I learned

Oooh! Pretty!
