Glad to see you are still posting. You have some wonderful ideas. Hope you had a nice holiday. Baby girl sure is getting big!
ReplyDeleteoh! I got it. At first I was thinking, "ch 6?, crochet until about 6 inches? How can that work? It's not making sense!" =0D I'm such a dork. I now see the chain 6 grows into the 6 inch length. oh man, I kill myself. You's can see how my brain was off on that one. LOL
ReplyDeleteI really like this toy, never saw such a neat crochet idea! It makes me think of my wood carving days. We used to carve an interlocking chain, that looked just like the above pic, from a chunk of pine board. Thank You So Much for sharing and for bringing back fond memories! Pam
the knit pattern for the bib makes little sense, can you clean that up?
