Miniature Crochet in the Studio





The mice have been breeding and so have the number of outfits.

I have been working on a system for making a crochet pattern that one can "read" from a photograph.

I was taught to crochet my copying a doily that my grandmother had made.

The Japanese patterns work really well for me, but when I try to draw the design I run out of paper. I know the patterns can be done in the software program Illustrator but that involves learning a new program.
I wonder if I could learn just the part I need to know.......

All the mice have been made by my friend 
Anna Esteves




















Enjoy!

    ENJOY!!! LOL.... I started giggling the first second I saw them. They are delightful!!! You have done a beautiful job dressing them.

    PS.... I can't post the picture we talked because my laptop is in the hospital. I'm using an IPad.
