The longest crochet project of my life….
Some of you might remember this picture from 2010. It was my gift to my husband last Christmas.
I’m pleased to announce that with only a week to spare his gift was finally finished for this past Christmas!
I’m not going to lie to you. Crocheting something this size and then felting it is a daunting project. Before it was felted it pretty much covered our bed. The best/worst compliment I got was from my youngest son who took one look at it and said: “I want one too!” Oye. Maybe for his 18th birthday.

Wow!! that is amazing!!! Well done, steph!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed!!!!
ReplyDeleteit looks awesome! I do, however, feel your pain about creating things for felting. Usually lovely results but lots of yarn and prefelting the project seems to go on forever.
ReplyDeleteMichelle ~ SO TRUE!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jordin and Holly!
I just saw Dave's new profile pic over on facebook and figured that was his new poncho he was wearing. It looks great. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel! I'm so glad it's done, now I know how you felt when you finished knitting your dress!
ReplyDeleteI am just impressed that you finished it! I always get all excited about a project. Have a hard time seeing them through. It looks awesome and I can tell you worked hard on it!
ReplyDeleteWondering, have any idea for revamping a rocking chair. The cloth piece that is supposed to hold the cushion is shot but I can't bear to part with it. Good piece of furniture otherwise, just have no creative groove here lately. *sigh*
seriously amazing! nice work steph.. my birthday is in november.. hint hint!!
ReplyDeleteCathy ~ Have you ever done braided rugs? You just take scraps of fabric, braid them into a large braid and then stitch it all together into a rug shape. One of those would look great on a rocking chair seat!
ReplyDeleteAllie~I'm not sure if a 25 lb, 100% wool poncho would be useful for someone who lives in the TROPICS!! LOL
