TAST 2012 COUCHING WEEK 9

Hello people, here is my sample for TAST 2012 WEEK 9 ! Couching is something that I have not done a lot of,




so I took the bull by the horns and the first thing that I thought of was a tree ! I adore trees,I think it is so sad to chop them down....so in honour of the mighty oak, this is MY tree.............I couches down all the foundation branches and then used a crochet hook ti intertwine and knarl the branches...twisting and turning, I then added lots of beads and french knots.........Hope you like my mighty blossom tree..........xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx !!!!!

  6. I don't know how you manage to come up with so many wonderful ideas. I am not sure what the couching stitch is as I have never heard of it but your tree rendition comes up trumps. Love the blossom.
