I should have been doing laundry but…

…I decided to finish this instead.

And not to toot my own horn (because I copied it from one I saw at “In the Making” earlier today), but how cute is this closure?

It’s just a simple crocheted flower with a starting loop of 8 instead of 5 so there was plenty of room for the button. I just finished the first and crocheted a 7 stitch chain then 8 more stitches for the beginning loop of the second flower. Easy peasy. I am now going to pick up a little bit and spray some air freshener so Jason thinks I’ve been slogging away at housework all day. Think it’ll fool him? Nah. Me neither, but hopefully he’ll play along.

    I agree, although for the sake of clean underwear, I am giving in and doing laundry today. 🙂

    Isn’t that the cutest little girl button ever! I wish I had thought of it, but I pride myself on copying only the best stuff. 😉

    Please feel free to copy me, as I copied someone else — so it’s only fair. 🙂 And talk about talent! Every time I see lace, I think of you and your beautiful black lace scarf (what was her name again?).

    Oh, that is just beautiful! I literally just finished my second baby’s blanket so not quite ready for something this advanced yet but I can dream!

    Jools, you can do it! I’ve only been knitting since September of 09 so I promise it isn’t that difficult. It’s all a matter of finding easy patterns. Let’s hear it for Ravelry! 🙂

    Get that spray that smells like you’ve been baking ( from Williams-Sonoma) and throw something on the counter from Edgars. Make sure there is flour sprinkled liberally in the kitchen. You need to bring your varsity charade game chick!

    LOL!! Obviously, I’m still playing in the minors, but looking for you to help me get called up to the Big Show! Thanks, Kimmy!
