The patterns I try don't always work for me. I don't like the pattern after all, or I don't like the colours I've chosen or whatever. I work a small sample, usually two repeats, before I decide whether to continue. Usually I unravel the failure, but there are a few samples lurking about:
The black loop isn't a failure, it's to practise making a loop. I will probably use it eventually. I don't like the colours in the one on the left. My first attempt to crochet with a 12 bead circumference looks dreadful. The second one, far right, looks better, but I decided the effect wasn't worth the effort.
I'm afraid the counting of beads to create these beautiful patterns would drive me bonkers! I do enjoy seeing all of your bracelets and necklaces.
ReplyDeleteWow! I love the tartan pattern. You’d have to keep your wits about you for that one!
ReplyDeleteMe again, I can see the tartan pattern but I can also see Africa!
ReplyDeleteOh good. I wondered if I’d wandered too far from Africa!
DeleteLove the tartan pattern, looks very Scottish
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful - definitely Africa!!! I like the one on the left - colours as well as pattern.
ReplyDeleteAnd the 12 bead one should look good in slightly more contrasting colours?
Your beaded bracelets and necklaces are all so pretty!! I like all the differences in the designs! :)
ReplyDelete3 dimensional tartan in beads, wow! All of your samples look so intricate.
ReplyDeleteYou're building up quite a stock there, Jane. Soon be time to go shopping for more beads, I think!!!
