snow white rose

 

I finished my rose project and noticed my friend had posted her pattern of roses too.  We had been talking about the m for a while and I got impatient and did my own then she did one.  Even thought these look real similar they are constructed using entirely differnt patterns.   So I think it was good for me to do hers as well as mine.  Both have things that are unique to them.

Here is the scarf I put them on.   I have had this scarf since high school I wore it in my hair then.  This one was crocheted using the thread that my friend recommended as I did finally find my thread box of Turkish threads.  I used a size 20 steel hook.  it was interesting because with this type of thread you do not weave your ends in but you burn them and melt them to secure them if not careful you can burn your lace I will need practice at that as yes I did burn my lace and had to re-crochet a leaf because of that.

Lavonda Rose Oya scarf done

I finished the scarf I started the other day.  It ended up with  53 roses.  My oldest daughter made two of the roses to try them out also she finished all the the thread but 4 so I would not have to do that.

If you do it with synthetic thread like nylon or polyester which is what is used in Turkey you melt the ends and that part goes faster  but you  tend to burn your fingers too and if not careful singe your crochet.
I  think the scarf came out pretty well myself.  I will enjoy wearing it.  I think it is rather feminine in appearance with the delicate flowers dancing around as a person walks or moves.

This makes me want to add more edgings to my scarfs.  I so love this  just says feminine all over it.
