I found Alterknit Stitch Dictionary at my local library. I loved the patterns. Even though it’s for knitting, I decided to crochet them. Now, I just have to figure out how to make it look right. This isn’t quite it.
I didn’t have the same yarn as the patterns I looked at called for, so I decided to do my own thing. I put 16 gauge wire in the opening, which works well. I also put 16 gauge wire in the body of the nest. That didn’t work out very well. Theo doesn’t like it anyway. Figures.
