Your Secret Pal
that's great! but am i weird b/c they look like dragon flies to me.. i'm probably just weird... i love it!
SP - ohhhh ur a sneaky one! lol im gonna die from the suspense before the 3 months is up, LOL. thanks for the comment tho, heh.
allena - nah i dont think you're weird, dragonflies are cool! i think it could be either, hehe. i'm glad you like the square!
i'm thinking this or the bigger one could both be really cute done in a thinner yarn or thread and all joined up for a shawl or something.
I've seen this square madeup with some top stitching for the antennae and to adorn the wings. It's such a clever pattern!!!
too much time on my hands here at work today...
so looking at this more i can see butterflies in the fileted areas of the pattern and dragonflies when I'm actually looking for a shape in the chains and the center tr, heh. hmmm a lil color tied into those areas would be really pretty im thinking.
drew: that sounds like a neat ideas. thanks for the comment! =D
