6 of 9; Almost.... just a wee bit more!
7 of 9; Nearly done!
8 of 9; Washed, Ironed, and Finished! As soon as I got the details on the little guy, I added them in around the outside of the circle.
9 of 9; Finished and framed. When I went to get it framed, I was told that it would take at least 4 weeks to get it back. That just wouldn't do. So, I braved it and framed it myself. Well, Linda at ACMoore's was very, very helpful. She found two mats and I choose this blue one. I decided to go with this oak-like frame to match the new, little guy's house. Michael actually put it all together for me! :)
Well - the CRAB is done and delivered!

Hi came via patternuts blog,
Welcome to blogland
Crab looks wonderful well done.
The crab is a cutie. And I like your crocheted cowboy boots as well. I used to have a set of patterns from Annie's Attic with lots of crocheted booties and I think a similar pattern was in that bunch. I once made little high-top crocheted tennies from it.
I found your blog from Patternnuts Palace. I'll check back from time to time.
Well done on that crab! I think you did a great job with the framing, too, so I hope that you gave yourself a big pat on the back. :)
