LACY FEEL AFRICAN FLOWER

Mostly acrylic mixes on a 9mm hook makes a lovely lacy pattern and so different from the heavy AF Hex's l've already tried
was trying to be subtle but think this 1st one is too subtle hehe

but the second really pleases me
l can feel this one around my shoulders on a cool summer night

Front Door Update...
opened it at 5 am this morning and it made that sticky sound but no damage to the edges so a second coat today and door furniture on 
then we'll see if it needs a 3rd coat next week

Then we must get Noo Noo ready for our long weekend in Leicestershire tomorrow and move the dust around ready for James and his NEW GF to cat sit.......

She's lovely...a dancer studying at Chester Uni and only lives 5 minutes away and her Mum is into enamelling and Jewellery!

THANKS FRIENDS
for making me laugh with the comments about the bad door day yesterday hehe
but all is still calm at Bakewell this morning

Noticed this morning l now have 99 lovely friends of the blog wonder who will be the 100th?
HUGS ALL XX

    Really love the lacy effect of these ones. My son's girlfriend is also at Chester uni and my daughter did her degree and post grad there too :-) Small world eh?
    Really glad peace has returned to Bakewell. :-) Hope you have a great weekend.

    I always find it really interesting to see the effects of different size hooks on patterns and motifs - this looks really good and opens up a world of new exciting project possibilites xx

    That's really pretty and a very different effect to the normal african flower

    Recognise the pattern, but it certainly changes the look.
    I'm loving it as a shawl or light jacket/cardi
