I have been entranced, for some time, by the various crochet covered stones I have spotted around my favourite blogs. Mostly created by the endlessly inspirational Margaret Oomen of Ressurrection Fern and seen here too at Geninne's Art Blog (along with many other places). I was hugely excited to discover a tutorial by Margaret over on The Purl Bee blog and set myself the challenge of having a go as soon as possible. Well, after a few false starts I finally managed yesterday. I showed my usual inability to follow a crochet pattern (I am convinced it is something to do with my dyslexia - every time I look at a pattern I panic and I can't make head or tail of it!) but I decided to try my own version and just go with the flow and I am very happy with the results....
Now I want to have a go at some painted versions to go with it - inspired again by Geninne and also by Nicole at Gardenmama. I would love a huge bowl full of beautiful stones to display by the front door - I'll keep you posted on my progress.
