Finished this one today. I have never crocheted with this small of material before, so it was a learning experience. Plus, I have not crocheted much for over 20 years. For those who crochet, this was done with a basic triple crocket stitch. Vintage DMC “Coton Perle”. I roughed the edges of the cab. Then used some all-purpose craft glue to secure the crocheted piece to the cab. Did the gluing in stages. After the glue dried, I secured the ends of the crocheted piece. I had left a long piece of the floss to use for wrapping the bottom of the bail. Wove the long piece through the crocheting. Did the wrap. Wove the long piece back up the other side of bail and tied it off. Secured the knots with a small drop of glue. I wanted this to not have a front or a back, so that either side could be worn out. In one place the crocheted part is a little uneven. Thanks for looking. 1 2 3 4

That is crazy cool. Any subject would look fine in that wrap.
I wonder if you could make the edge 'sock' on a fixture with a weave design that allowed it to be drawn tight with a built in draw cord or series of draw cords.
From a family of commercial saltwater fisherman and admired the net makers weaves and knots. Any thing goes.
That would be difficult for clients to pass without notice.
I am so pumped to see people spending time on the glass. It means a lot to me. Money means naught, seeing it displayed is better than any $100 bill.
Imagine your knot skills as you do more.

I am working on another with draw cords. The third is using a different crochet stitch, which will cover more of the edges and not need so much glue. Just some by the bail. I make traditional Dream Catchers, which use the same knotting techniques as in nets. I can use any of these techniques for rock cabs as well.

Wonderful choice of yarn to pick up the color of that streak through the center of the glass!
