Today I fiddled with the Framer function on Big Huge Labs. There were a lot of tempting options, but I settled on the ‘brushed edge’ for this photo.
The pink butterfly is from the corner of the rain cloud picture I posted on Easter. What looks like a flower is actually a tiny pink butterfly sitting on a blade of grass.
Whenever you see a photo mosaic here on A Whole Load of Craft, you can bet it’s a product of Big Huge Labs. There’s so many options I could never fully explore each one, but I’m a fan of the mosaic functions. You can cram a lot of photos into one cohesive picture.
The Big Book of Dishcloths by Leisure Arts is something I’ve wanted to buy after seeing Mellissa’s pretty dishcloths on her blog The Adventures of Wondermommy. Wouldn’t you know, I was off-island yesterday and found it on a rack at Goodwill for $2? It was a nice little surprise on a busy, errand-filled day.
Some may not like the black and white photos inside the actual booklet, but I found myself admiring several different patterns. Not only are there some interesting dishcloth patterns, this book doubles as a stitch library of sorts. There are a number of interesting and unique stitch patterns. This booklet is a great resource for crocheters and relatively cheap, even at the regular price of $7.95.
Stay tuned for actual finished objects in the near future, including some toddler-sized slippers!
Thanks so much for the link to Big Huge Labs ~ I just had a quick browse through the site and it looks really useful…and congratulations on finding the book on dishcloths ~ I love it when things like that happen. I’m looking forward to seeing what you make from it. Happy Sunday!
Congrats on the find. I too have that book but just haven’t had the chance to make anything yet. I can’t wait to see what you come up with. Have a great day!
I’m so glad that you found that book and at such a good price. I love it and you are right it is a great stitch library. There are so many different patterns in that book. I can’t wait to see what you make out of it.
I have this book somewhere as well. (I need to go check my crochet shelf later and make sure I have not loaned it out, never to see it again….)
