Another Project Completed

I finished up one more crochet project. I have been working on coverings for the Manti Temple. I did two already, but wanted to do one of the larger sizes. I decided to do one to fit on one of the longer altars, which are also very narrow across. I couldn't find a pattern that I liked, but had an idea of combining a section of an afghan I really like, and the temple bag I made from another pattern. So I tried to sketch out the pattern and I really liked what I came up with. It fit the requirements that I was given by the Temple Matron and it all just seemed to fit right in place. When I got to the edging I still wasn't sure what I would do. I tried several different ideas, but they just didn't look good or fit with the rest of the pattern. Then I started just "freestyling" it, and my eyes opened up and saw just what was needed. I'm not great at creating corners, but it all worked out. And the little picot at the points helped me to sit it was complete. I am hoping it fits the size they need for one of the rooms. It is amazing that each room has a different size, some being extremely huge! The size of this cover is approximately 22" X 56". Like I said, long and skinny. I feel really good about taking it over to Manti. It makes me humble to see something I completely designed and created from my own vision, and it turned out pretty good, (said with lots of humility!)Those of you who are crocheters, you will notice that the picture is taken from top to the bottom, and from the side. For some reason I didn't look when I took the pictures so they may look backwards to you. One of my pet peeve's is when people put crocheted items on a table or whatever and it is the backside up! This item is worked with alternating rows, so the only "front" or "back" shows up on the edging. But I can sure tell which end was the beginnning and which is the ending, and this picture is looking in the wrong direction for me! Hope it doesn't bother you.
