Did you know that the first episode of the Friends TV Show aired 25 years ago of this month? That's crazy and kind of makes me feel a bit dated.
Fun fact: I'm a huge Friends fan. I own all 10 seasons on DVD and have watched it countless times.
I've always identified myself as a "Phoebe Buffay". I love how she's not afraid of being who she is. She can be a little weird sometimes, but who isn't? I love letting that part of me shine because that's what makes me who I am.
Unfortunately, my husband is kind of on the other side of the spectrum and doesn't enjoy the show as much as I do. He's probably a "Ross Geller" 🤣. So I don't get to watch it as often as I used to.
But hey, guess what?! I got this whole week to myself at home because I have vacation time from work to burn, so that means a Friends marathon all week while crocheting with no pants!

Assembly
Use the remaining yarn ends to sew together the rosette/swirl on each side.
Then glue it down to some cardboard or frame to help it keep its shape. Or, you can do what I did and just use some double-sided tape and tape it down to the back of the front door around the peephole!
Two long pieces for the sides and two short pieces for the top and bottom.

Hello! You are putting in more stitches than the available number of chain stitches. That should create a natural curl. Unfortunately, I do not have a video tutorial.
I had the same issue the first time I did it. I realised that the next chain stitches get pulled really tight, so when I counted the number of chains that I still had left I always had to really poke the hook through a really tight little chain. By counting I could make sure that I was going to end up with 24 stitches (3 SC, 3 HDC & 18 DC). And when I did that it curled ��
This is so clever Juli! Love it.
