2011 #4 -- Mosaic Glass

Finished and blocked.

(As usual, that's a yardstick to show size.)

Here are some closer looks.

There are a lot of 3-dimensional elements, but they don't all show up very well in the photos.

Here is the edging.

The very outside edge is a simple bind-off using a crochet hook to bind off from the needles. The pattern was 4 plain loops and then something like a knitted bobble, where I pulled a loop through without dropping the stitch off the needle, pulled a loop through that, and then repeated it 3 more times, so that there were 4 loops coming out of one stitch. Then I bound those off all together.

The outside yarn was a plain yarn and a fuzzy Colinette yarn held together for the frothy look.

All in all, I'm very happy with it. The palette isn't my usual combination, and I'm enjoying that as well.
