Here is my version of the Butterfly Shawl CAL from Knit.1 at Crochetville


Here is my version of the Butterfly Shawl Crochet A Long from Crochetville! I did the butterflies in Patons Grace - 1 thread only with an F hook and a nice mercerized cotton for the white with a size 3 steel hook. Gauge was the same. I did the fringe so it hangs 12" inches long, otherwise, it would have been too long for me!


Technicolor Coat from Crochet Fantasy Magazine



Here are some FO as I have not posted in quite awhile.

I did this coat for myself and for my dd for xmas (yes, I am nuts). I don't think I will be doing any granny squares for awhile now.

Oh yeah . . . . Did I mention BEADS???


Oh yeah . . . Beads. This is a whole other obsession within itself. Just thought I would include this too!

Red Heart Halter/Capri set


This set is similar to the blue one and my own creation without a pattern. Red and White polka dot capris with little matching cloche.

Blue Daisy Halter, Cloche and Capris


Here is a little summer set that I created myself with little daisies accenting the hat. Crocheted out of cotton. The capris I sewed are a blue gingham print. Great for Summer.

Little Girly Rose Set


This is a set that I did a few years back. It included a kerchief and little purse for her treasures. This was from a purchased pattern. I think it was an Annie's Attic leaflet. Larger size was achieved by thicker yarn and larger hook.

This was the challenge.


My SIL brought me this picture from a fashion magazine and asked if I could create something similar.

My first post is the end result. It took me a month to complete it, most of that being as I could not get a fitting from her to complete it sooner.

I wanted to line it but she didn't want it lined, but she's got the bod for it!

Welcome


Welcome to my blog place. I hope to meet people as addicted to crochet as I am and creating new and exciting wearables either from some dream or idea or a pattern!
