Challah cover, finally!


Well, it's not tomorrow, but I did get a picture of it. It's finished blocking, I just haven't unpinned it yet. Now to figure what to back it with, but I will wait on that until next Thursday when I get paid and can go buy either some fabric, or a second-hand shirt I can tear up, to back it with. I'd like to get a blue similar to the foam squares I'm using, since it's a Jewish piece.

Size 30 crochet thread, 1.25 mm hook. The border pattern I got from online, and I charted the letters myself from a alefbet I found online as well.

Finished object dance.

Yay, the challah cover (crochet part) is done! I'll have pictures tomorrow night when I get it ironed and blocked. I'm going to back it in blue silk, as soon as I find some.

Bedtime now, just wanted to update. Oh, and I've started a chainmaille project for Conn, my boyfriend, for his birthday gift. Good thing it's in July, I'll need the time! Again, pictures tomorrow.

Latest crochet project.

This is the latest (and only) progress shot of a challah cover I'm making for a friend's wedding gift. It's in size 10 thread, using a 1.25 mm hook. It's 138 rows long. I'm redoing about 4 rows that I realized I screwed up earlier.
