Today I played with Edda Guastalla's tutorial and followed her directions for increasing the ring size for the domed shape of the Ice Drop. It was such a simple change, and it worked well!
The dome of the glass gem is covered nicely.
The back worked really well. I decided to add another round of chains with picots to make the back a little more decorative.
I really like the way the sides look using Edda's technique. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do to finish the Ice Drop, so I decided to go with something simple... I doodled!
Playing with the Ice Drop took much longer than I anticipated, and I did need to do a few chores around the house. Still, I managed to knit a few rounds on my cowl. Maybe it will wind up being a carry-along project!
I love this technique and so glad you let us know about her I'll be checking into this more. Love the green is that leaf green?
