I learnt a lot from this practice piece. You can read tutorials and peruse patterns, but in the end you have to actually try a new technique to learn it! Of course there is a lot more to overlay crochet than I have attempted. I just wanted to learn enough to achieve the effect I want on my cushion, that of leaves floating on the water.
You are right, of course - one has to do it for oneself ... In a few of my initial blocks, the overlay came out a bit tighter, pulling in the edge & I ended up having to redo the overlay at times .
ReplyDeleteYour leaves are very pretty!!!
Looks very nice!! :)
ReplyDeleteWell done! I looked at the tutorial, but as I'm just learning to crochet, it will have to wait until later.
ReplyDeleteI think you have achieved the effect you wanted!
ReplyDeleteI admire these and have seen very beautiful ones, good to know you practice them first or it would make me feel bad ha ha !
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome, neat effect.
ReplyDeleteWow you have mastered the overlay crochet, the mat looks brilliant
