Here is my new project that I started! As you can see, I have my materials on the left molded by my lovely stuffed toy, Ducky. I choose two colors, using Impeccable Impecable yarn, and started my design. I used a copy of Annie's Lace Throw instructions from my neighbor. She's an avid crochet and needle worker as well, and she has done beautiful works that decorate her home and her loved ones. She's sometimes my supply person for designs. Well, she gave this one to my sister and after she was done I started.
The right photo is the one with the ends and without the borders. For a while I try to decide, what colors and way did I want to do this? Did I want the whole thing in one color? A lot of photos online had them in one solid color...and well, I love to be different and do different things. I noticed that the middle looked like a giant sun or sunflower. I wanted that to pop out more than anything, so I adjusted the rows and exchanged the colors to make it fit. I kept stopping and worrying about my colors and how it might look like, not sure if other people would like it. But I stuck to what I wanted and it turned all right.

Slowly but surely, it came out and the pattern was seen by me and everyone around me. Can you see it? Of course, the next step would be to do the edges and frills. However...I'm thinking about being different again. Wonder what it will look like in the end?
