Curtain For Me

...just the one...for the middle room.  You saw the material the other day, but now I've decided to do a crochet edging that will go down the edge of the curtain, as it is draped across the window in its 'held-back' position.

I've done two rows of the edging so far - it's a slow business.  It took me two solid hours to put in the first row (only chain loops) what with measuring and using a sharp needle to pierce the fabric in order to get the hook through!

Now I'm halfway through the second row, and it's starting to look interesting...

Since I'm making this up as I go along, I'm not sure how deep the edging will be in the end, but I'll keep you posted!

ah - i wondered what was involved in edging like that !
Maybe i'll start on a face washer :)
But then your curtains look so decadent with the edging its well worth the effort.
