Intermediate Level

Dragonflies represent many things.

Vitality, poise, beauty. A sign of future changes, a sense of harmony in relationships.

I set about creating this beautiful piece as a gift for my daughter and was very pleased with the results.

Crochet terminology: Both US and UK.

This wall hanging works up quickly and looks great in many different yarns and colours. I loved this so much that I made three pro-types during the design stage. My webpage has information regarding hoop suppliers etc. It also has photographs of my patterns testers finished works.
