chanson en crochet

Voila! C'est fini. This was a super speedy way to get back in the groove. The pattern is Chanson en Crochet from IK (excerpted from "Wrap Style") and the yarn was Cascade Eco+ (leftover from this) on a J hook.

I started on August 6th, finished crochet by the 9th, and had it washed and blocked and buttoned by the 11th. Can't beat that with a stick.

The finished project is really cute and barely elbow length on an adult, well me anyway. I think it will work nicely for a little girl. Maybe even as a "skirt" over some leggings...

back in the saddle again

ahhh. my absolute disinterest in all things yarn has finally abated. since the warm weather struck in may, i've had no desire to knit, crochet, sew, whatever. suddenly, however, i'm mad for it. ordered a bit of yarn from knitpicks. should be in this week.

in the meantime, here's chanson en crochet, from interweave. so far it's a zippy little crochet. I'm already on the 9th row of 22, using cascade eco and a size j hook.

think this will be a giftee for cealinn...

Pineapple Doily

My first doily...just to see if I could. It was actually pretty easy. Go figure. Crocheted with size 30 crochet cotton on a size 10 hook.

Mini Afghan

This 1/12 scale afghan was crocheted with 2 strands of DMC embroidery floss on a size 10 hook. The pattern is a basic zig-zag from the 1979 Reader's Digest Complete Guide to Needlework.
