Crochet Covered Wood Discs

I love to read the blog Resurrection Fern and I'm inspired by the beautiful crochet items she creates.  I would say her signature pieces are the crochet covered stones she creates.  I have been wanting to try doing this for a long time, but didn't have the foresight to collect the stones before winter set in.  But on a snowy afternoon when I was cleaning through the craft closet I came across a couple of wooden discs.

These measure about 5 cm. across and are left overs from my Guide leader days.  Someone had cut a branch into these little discs so we could craft with them.  So in place of stones I decided to try covering these with crochet.

I really like how they turned out. I had found a tutorial at the purl bee and I also have a copy of Crochet Today from Sept./Oct. 2009 in which there is a lovely article about Margie and some patterns for her covered stones.  I didn't use the tutorial or the patterns as I just did various rounds of crochet to make it fit over the wood.   This used up a small amount of crochet cotton and is a great way to do some stash busting and practice some crochet stitches at the same time.
