Gauge is very important . . .

. . . when you are doing filet crochet. At times I'm right on with it and at other times, well, I miss the mark. This was one of those times. This coaster measures 4.5" x 5" when blocked and should have been either 4.5" x 4.5" or 5" x 5" square. So, back to the various bags and boxes that I keep my crochet hooks in to find another hook in a slightly different size. Maybe it will turn out properly next time I crochet this coaster. (It's my own design!)

The redwork is coming along nicely. I've finished a couple of pieces, traced a few more on fabric, and will post pictures in the next couple of days. Until then . , ,
