Syrah Wrap

This was from a pattern that was supposed to be half knitted and half crocheted combined. My A.D.D got the better of me and just couldn't finish the knitted part and decided to crochet the whole thing instead. What can I say, I'm not a knitter, I'm a crocheter at heart and can do it much faster than knit. I'm out to prove that your projects don't have to look like your grandmother's.

Forever In Blue Jeans

I was making a purse out of this yarn and decided it was a big waste of this pretty yarn. I frogged it and decided to make the Feathers and Fans scarf my girlfriend was making. This was also my first attempt to wire block anything and so far it’s doing good. However, I wanted it blocked immediately and asked for tips from a GF. There was no way I was going to be able to get blocking wires in time and decided to scout the house for wire. Low and behold, I found jewlry/floral wire, 24 guage. It worked fine. I put it in the end of a big needle and wove it in and out of the edging of the scarf. I was able to spool out as much wire as I needed for the length and it stayed pretty good. Love how it came out.

Cracklin' Rose Scarf

My bff was knitting a shawl and I thought it was really pretty. Since I don’t have the patience to knit a whole project, my crochet wheels were turning and decided to copy her shawl called the Saroyan by Liz Abinante using Malabrigo worsted weight yarn. It’s not exact, the edging had to be a little different and found a really cool ruffly edging for it and decided to use wooden beads that fit the project perfectly. It was so in my head and came out exactly to the picture I pictured. I like when that happens.
