Crochet work

Originally uploaded by Elaine with Grey Cats.

I noticed the pile of mending and, not feeling well after a late work night, i puttered with yarn.

The yarn is from a stash of crewel work yarn i purchased off eBay. It required lots of dealing with ends, but worked out OK.

The motifs were to cover some holes worn in a pair of Christine’s jeans. Star? Flower? Pentagon? Not too cute or “sweet.” I would have done one more round with picots emphasizing the points to make it more star like, i think, but she liked the simplicity of this.
The "shaft" of the arrow was one long chain, then sc around. The arrow was ad libbed single crochet decreases, but turned out OK.

I noted the hem was fraying a bit, so i did a blanket stitch on which i hooked in to make a row of single crochet. "Behind" the sc i used a slip stitch to connect the picots.
