WYSIWYG

What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Menoscaping; A Kind Of Decorating

(As I prepare this post on Wednesday morning, I find that the 'new' Blogger editor has been tweaked yet again... presumably due to protests from all the old hands about the layout of the control bar - it is looking more like the legacy version again - woohoo!)

I needed a project other than slippers for my crochet hook. Neighbour M was enamoured of a baggie I had made to cover a book for a gift my father was giving to a mutual acquaintance. I offered to provide something for her study bible. She readily accepted. 

I made three attempts at producing something from my own memory of the book, but when none of these was working out, I requested to have the bible with me in order to 'tailor'. 

That did the trick. I had opened it in the story of Joseph, that first day. Straight away I knew what I had to do.

    I can tell your friend will treasure your cover for her Bible. It was fun hearing you and her in the video. Free form crochet isn't easy if you are trying to fit it to something. You did a great job.
