Endless Diamonds Shawl or Table Runner




This pattern for the Endless Diamonds Shawl is now available in my Etsy store as a digital download.  It was in Happily Hooked Magazine in December 2014.  This sample shawl was worked in 3 skeins of Caron Simply Soft in Lt. Country Blue with a size H/8 crochet hook.  The finished size is 76" x 16" and it is a Filet Crochet Pattern. The shawl also makes a beautiful table runner as well. The size can be changed by adding or decreasing the number of repeats on the graph.  If interested click on The Farmer's Wife Crochet Etsy store link above to download your copy for $2.50.  Thank you also to my beautiful model,  Barb Kaas for modeling it for me :)  Happy crocheting!!!

Shutter Frames

I finally got around to a wood working project I wanted to make for over a year now.
 
 
They are "shutter" picture frames I made out of bead board.
 


I was looking  for shutters to hang on each side of a large shelf but couldn't find any that were only 30" long.  Then it occurred to me I had all this extra bead board left from a project from a few years ago and I could make them out of that.  Then I was thinking about how to decorate the shutters and thought about hanging pictures on them.  I ended up cutting out the picture area and then hot gluing acrylic frames on the back to hold the pictures.  It worked out really well to do that and I only have the price of the frames in the project. I painted them before gluing in the frames and ran a sander over the paint to "age" it some. I am pretty please with how they turned out.

I'm also happy to have Barb model it for me, she did a great job!!

 
It is a filet pattern the first few lines of instructions are written out then the rest is worked from a graph.
