Crochet Collars

 These collars are from a pattern book published in 1965.

 Please excuse the close ups of my "bok-bok" neck - as the twins call it. "Bok-bok" is their twin-speak word for chook! Ah...out of the mouths of babes....

 I was trying to look all old fashioned and demure, but I just look a bit brain dead. I hate getting photographed!!! This last collar below is a simple one I made up. I will post the pattern if I remember how I did it.

 

I'm hoping to have some of these to sell at the Northcote Town Hall Winter Artisan Market next month! But more on that later....

Finish things Friday!!!

Yes! I have FINALLY had a finish things Friday.
1. Alterations for Spring wardrobe - TICK!

All three cut off shorter and taken in and I elasticised the sleeves of the dress below (which really was a bit of a moo moo) to make them puffy!

Now. Where's the sunshine??? (Hope you noticed that my hair is getting more Dolly-like each day!

2. Crochet Collar for Liz- TICK! 



This collar is based on Shara Lambeth's pattern and I added crocheted sugar skulls as requested. I also added an extra row to the collar which makes is a little wider and then a chain scallop lacy edge.

Looking forward to a start something new Saturday!
