Crochet Wedding Garter

I have almost finished the wedding garter, I decided to use a blue ribbon - in tune with the "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue".

I think that it works with no elastic and just the ribbon to tie it.

The concensus of opinion is that it needs beads as well, I agree.  I plant odd some small beads along the domed bottom edge.

I also plan to take better photos ... in daylight !!

White lace wedding garter

Since the wedding season is upon us I had a notion to make something wedding related.  I decided on making a garter, but I want it to look fairly old fashioned.

To get the look I want I have decided to crochet it in an old lace style.

The idea is that this garter will not have elastic, but will have a ribbon threaded through the larger "holes"

I also intend to sew on some beads, but until I have completed crochet and see how it looks I'll hold off on the final decision on beading.

White crochet Cuff

I haven't made any jewellery for a while and thought it would be nice to make something other than a necklace, I've already got quite a few of those made.

I always like the way that its possible to create wonderful patterns with crochet, I really like the vintage feel of this particular piece.  Part lace, part solid.

I closed the back with pretty little flower cut buttons.

Walnut baby

I bought myself a display head this week - I thought it about time really!  So I have started updating the photographs on Walnut Baby to show them "worn".

Hopfully the new images give a better impression of my little creations :)

I still have quite a lot of re-photographing to do.  I want to take the pictures in daylight, which is quite difficult at this time of year ... on a day like today it barely gets light at all!
