Pink for October

I had recently received a request for crocheted breast cancer ribbons.  When I thought about it, it sounded very easy.  So I am thinking, good idea and easily done.

Ofcourse I was right about the good idea but so wrong about the easy part.  Crocheting the ribbon itself was very easy. Stitched is too with little bit of struggle.  Now for the last part - using the stiffener.  I normally dilute the stiffener a lot but this time I had to use almost undiluted to  get the right stiffness and then do blocking to get the right shape.

But efforts well spent!

Used red and pink shaded embroidery floss

Used Egyptian Cotton Thread 
Used combination of light pink and dark pink threads
