things are getting smaller

I know it'll probably send me blind.  But it's like anything addictive, you just can't stop. I just seem to be getting smaller and smaller.

The photos can't convey how fine this stuff is - it's as fine as sewing cotton.

I did a fair bit of experimentation over the Easter weekend and really got inspired by the stainless steel Habu. It's so spidery and lovely.  It's going to be a scarf (for me).

I'll show you the finished product in 6 months...

Oh Melanie you really do have me drooling over this. I am now about to head over to eBay and buy some teeny tiny Clover hooks and then to track down some of that Habu (all fuelled by Friday night wine with hubby away, of course - oh my, was that too much information?)

Wow, it is gorgeous! Is that Habu stuff a bit like wire? I mean does it hold its own shape? I am intrigued. Let's plan our crochet date soon. XX

I'm going cross-eyed just thinking about it! It does look fun though, and it's really very pretty!

smaller and smaller and better and better! It's gorgeous Mel. How on earth do you count stitches if you need to?
