mystery stitches...

 don't you love a little mystery

I do

Petunia Pill

left me a comment about id-ing this stitch

apparently someone

  over the pond 

suggested she ask me (as I'm so good at it)

HUH!!??

first let's just all sit and stare at this beauty for a bit and remember back to those days

tiny and soft and they smell so good

most of the time

what an angel and if ANYONE knows WHO this picture belongs to

please let us know

I copied it from Petunia Pills blog so I could turn it and zoom in on it

well I guessed it was single crochet on a big hook with doubled yarn

close but no cigar senor!!!

Poor Annette (Petunia) deleted her post and lost the photo and the comments

so I sent the photo back to her this morning

it was the least I could do

but I am not giving up on the stitch

so I'm still trying and I think I'm closer with the

half double crochet

but I'm having trouble with keeping an even tension

using a huge hook is fiddly when you aren't used to it 

and the fact that I stupidly stretched it all apart doesn't help

but I'll keep trying and hope the photo is ID'd and the stitch is too

'coz I don't like not knowing

I had a friend once who used to bring me all her

twisted and tangled gold chain necklaces

and she had the finest of fine chains

'coz I have the patience and preference for untangling things

I like undoing and un-knotting

that I have the patience for

other things

not so much..... :}

so if you have an opinion or a guess as to what this stitch may be

leave a comment here or over at 

Petunia's blog

she'll appreciate it I know

and "T"

thanks for the mystery to solve

my brain needs a bit of a work out!!!!
