Side by side and other unrelated craft stuff.

So, I thought I would put a picture together of the two umbrella's side by side. Since its dark here atm, I just put the two pictures side by side. Both in my opinion are fantastic and unique.

The other thing I like to do is to take photo's. Camera's on phones are fantastic these days so I was able to do a panoramic picture and some awesome GIFS. I wanted to share because I am so happy with them and I can't really show the GIFS on Facebook. Its still craft right?

Another Shade Umbrella

What? Another one? Yep! But, different doily pattern (found here) and in wonderful, amazing RED! To say this one was a challenge is an understatement! I originally used a different pattern, but I couldn't get it to work, so I decided to use the same one Mikey used (from the Crochet Crowd). Many of my hours when I started this project I was quite tired which resulted in me mis-reading the pattern. A lot. Which, as you can imagine, resulted in lots and lots of frogging. A big thank you to the beautiful Jess who helped me with the pattern when my brain wouldn't work. After a month struggle with this pattern I am happy to say I am done!! The only thing I changed was the chain on the outside because I didn't like how it hung down. I used 8ply or DK yarn with a 5.5mm hook.

Oh, what am I forgetting? Pictures! Here you go!
