I Love Freeform Crochet!

Here is a freeform crocheted scarf that I designed.  Can't wait to make some more.  Thanks to Jenny Dowde, Reante Kirkpatrick and Prudence Mapstone for all of the inspiration.

Collecting Quotes

I love collecting profound things people have said so instead of putting them on fb I thought I would put them here.  So here are a few of my most recent discoveries.

No patterns.  Just a lot of garter stitches and a few button holes.

My New Obsession

After many years of crocheti

ng

After many years of crocheting, I have finally taken a knitting class and I am obsessed with it. This is my first project in which I followed a pattern. I saw the pattern in a magazine ad. I found the pattern by Tahki Yarns online as well as the Presto yarn, also by Tahki Yarns, in the same color as shown in the ad. I know the model in the ad is much prettier than Viola but I was pretty happy with the outcome of the beret. This is a birthday gift for my son's girlfriend, Erin. I am now working on the collar in a different but similar yarn that is nice but a little less pricey.
