Even though it's mostly blue I feel as though I want to call this week's scrumble a Purple People Eater (...blue people eater definitely doesn't have the same ring!) I think it is because the little inverted domes on short crochet cords, a la 'Romainian point lace', remind me of the eyes of space creature drawings from my youth.
size approximately 20cm (8") x 18cm (7")

Prudence those eyes on stalks things are too cute! I have never heard of Romainian lace - have googled,but haven't found anything that vaguely resembles you little eyes on sticks - where do I find out how to make them - being a complete crochet beginner!

Hi Hilary, there are drawings of how to make the crochet cord that is used in Romanian point lace at http://lace.lacefairy.com/Lace/International/Romaina.html
ReplyDeleteFor the eyes on stalks, I have just added small crochet circles at the end of short lengths of that type of cord.
