I’m on a new kick lately. Well, not new per se; let’s say I’m revisiting an old passion. I’m taking a short break from the wax and wicks, momentarily stepping away from bottle caps and beads. My latest material of choice? String. Size 30 string, to be precise.
Size 30 string is pretty thin. Narrow? Dainty? I’m not really sure how to describe what size 30 string is. To be technical it’s thread. But I don’t like to get caught up in technicalities here.
I’ve been known to whip up a nice little lap throw in my day, and many a doily. Intricate table coverings and pillow embellishments can be found around my house as well as around the houses of people I know. Crochet is what I do with string. I crochet with yarn too, but I prefer string. Thread. Size 30. Woven with a teeny, tiny hook.
A work in progress.
I’m having a marvelous time, and have an idea or two in my head on how I can incorporate my crochet work into the crafty biz I’m trying to grow. Doilies are nice, but I’m feeling a little more creative than that. Can you imagine what this project might ultimately be?
If it turns out I’ll show you the results. For now I’m happy just watching that small piece of string work its way to a thing of beauty.
