Double Foundation Chain
I first came across Double Foundation Chain in the Encyclopaedia of Needlework by Thérèse de Dillmont.

Today I'm bringing you a sneak peak on my current crochet project.
I'd hoped to have it finished by now, but it's not quite there yet so you'll have to just make do with this little teaser.
This is my first major crochet project working into the back-loops and I really love the textured effect it creates. It's so tactile.
Stella, I dont even know what back loop is!
ReplyDeleteI quit after chain, single and double! Lol
But yours looks wonderfully nubby!
I didn't either but when you make a chain there is the 2 bits at the front and the bit at the back and instead of shoving your hook through those front bits you shove it through the back. Hmmm, maybe I should do a post about it....
Deleteohhhh so pretty!! blo or flo is kind of hard but I too like the look it gives :) can't wait to see your finished project!
ReplyDeleteI've never thought of them as blo or flo before - it makes them sound like old Aunties :o) It's finished! I just gotta take photos.
DeleteOh my! This looks so incredible! Pinned and tweeted. We love partying with you and we appreciate you stopping by! Please take a minute to stop by next week, so we can pin and tweet your new creation. The party starts on Monday at 7 pm! Have a great Monday! Lou Lou Girls
ReplyDeleteYour wonderful! Thanks so much Kim. See you next week.
DeleteGreat color combo! I love working in the back loop! The texture is so much more interesting than working in both loops. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with #FibeeTuesdays link party!

It was a lot easier then I thought it would be for a big project.
