Tiptoe through the (crocheted) tulips

[Mabel Figworthy]

This is the pattern that did my wrist in - no crochet for me for a while, but I do like it! I'm thinking perhaps a shawl, or a scarf with bands of this pattern at the two ends?

How very very pretty!!! Sorry it did your wrist in though

Ouch for the wrist...but for the design!!

Very petty design, Mabel.

Ice and elevation might help your wrist. ( You can tell I just had a day attending a First Aid course!) Hope it feels a bit better by now

Thanks Hélène, it's not a new injury - I hurt it falling downstairs some weeks ago and it's still bothering me. The doctor said that depending on whether there was a hair fracture it could take anything up to ten weeks to get back to normal, so I just have to be patient!
Because stitching for too long hurts it I thought I'd try crochet instead, and that turned out to be a bit of a mistake.... So back to sensible stitching !

The stitch design isn't mine, by the way - I found it online and liked it, but so far hadn't actually tried it. I'm still working on ways to minimise all the fastening off and on though *sigh*

Very pretty but take care of your wrist!

totally wooooo. So sorry about your wrist though and yes crochet does that to a person.

Tulips. Of course, tulips. And a very clever design, too. You need to give your poor wrist a break, though.

They are gorgeous but take it easy with your wrist.
