Beads: 9 Buttons: 9
Can you believe it? Hilarious. So, guess what I did? I took the advice of Willy Wagtail and used both! What a brilliant, brilliant solution!
How beautiful is she? Don't the beads and buttons work brilliantly? I think I am in love. Thank you all again so much for your help. I couldn't have done it without you. Quite literally. I would have gone one or the other and it wouldn't have been the same.
As you know, I had to wait out finishing off this jug cover until yesterday's deadline. I indicated this would be a bit of a challenge. What was I going to do while I waited? Well, no doubt you've already guessed it...
Yes, I made another one...
...and then another. I'm sorry. I know it looks like I'm showing off but I honestly couldn't help myself. I love the patterns I've been making from Vicki Moodie's "More Jug Cover's" book that I had to buy her first book, "Simple jug covers". It arrived last week and I had to have a try. The patterns in her first book are very simple but a little smaller than the others I have been making so they are rather quick to whip up. Through purchasing this book I inadvertantly discovered that Vicki Moodie is Crochet Australia. How great is that? Her patterns are sooooo easy to understand. They're fantastic and she's Miss Crochet Australia. A double bonus!
So here is some more eye candy for you to finish the post...

I'll make you a deal. I'll make a granny a day (or at least 5 a week) all through January.
Thanks Elizabeth. I just love making them and experimenting with colour and patterns. I've found a real niche.

Thank you. I don't really have that many jugs. It could be a problem at some point!
