Aloha April Contest: Friends FRAME complete

I finished the frame. I keep calling it a mirror but there is no glass on this lol. It's a frame.. Monica's Frame! Here is the final result

Here is monica's frame again for comparison

I wish my daughter didn't have my camera and I could have taken better pictures. :S

Details:

I used about 1 and a 1/2 balls of knit picks brava worsted in the color camel heather (approximately 150 g). No pattern to follow just free handed this one. A gold H sized 5.0 mm hook. I also used a little bit of Biolage spritzer on the curly ends when I blocked the final piece to give it some extra stability. It landed up being a little bigger than I planned and the top curlies were going to flop over if they were not stiffened up. I didnt want to use glue on it.

Here is that yarn that was left over

and so I made this with it :0

To go in my sons easter basket im building for him
