scrumble for week 4

This week's scrumble started with the lime green crochet spiral. Before cutting off the yarn I added points around the edge. The stitches were worked in the back loops only, so that further embellishment could easily be added onto the surface. A row of slip stitches was then worked, from the wrong side, around the outside points of the spiral motif. Then a couple of knitted slip stitch triangles were added - they were begun using a combination of both casting on and picking up of the stitches, each onto 3 of the points of the spiral. Other random crochet was also added to complete the piece.
size approximately 38cm (15") x 20cm (8")

  3. That's an exceptionally beautiful one. I love the points on the spiral. I have been trying to think of a way to do a sun shape for the FF Crochet Groups 4 Seasons challenge and this type of motif would work very well.

    Again, thank you for sharing. Your work is always inspiring.
