Industrious hooking

Spring break's here, and I'm headed off for a visit with a friend. I put off making the arrangements for a few weeks, then found a decent deal for a four-day getaway. I'll be crashing with said friend, and I wanted to make her something as a token of gratitude for the hospitality.

See?

And closer. I hope you can see a bit of the cerulean in the center portion:

Start to finish, it took one week. Yes, I work best with deadlines :).

Also, if the pattern looks mildly familiar, well, you've seen it before.

Very nice work. Your friend is lucky.

I had coffee today with a friend who crochets thin wire into jewelry. Very sexy look. Have you seen anything like that?

I've seen some, yes, and tried a bit of it. Key word: tried. Not working so well for me; I think I need finer wire.
