Elegant Design Cowl

My very first Elegance Cowl...

I made this last weekend using half double crochet, double crochet,treble crochet, triple treble crochet and a couple of rows of V-stitches just for fun! Then I joined it together with clusters that remind me of little button decorations. Nothing boring about this pattern.

The yarn is Stylecraft DK in turquoise.  Have a wonderful week and ....Happy Crocheting!

Progress on my "Cowl in Vino"

Happy W.I.P Wednesday!

Just a quick update on the progress I am making on my CAL Calm Cowl with TracyAnn.

  I'm loving the pattern and the yarn.It is working up really fast and an easy pattern. I should have it done by Friday for FO Fridays!

A Fun Cowl CAL starting Januay 1, 2013!

Hi All...

Here is a fun, new crochet-a-long for a cute cowl starting tomorrow. I found this CAL at Tracyann's blog yesterday and signed up. I have seen this pattern on Pinterest and had it in my queue on Ravelry for a awhile. I absolutely love this pattern. It is so different from all the other cowls I've seen. This CAL goes from Jan. 1-31, 2013.

Now that I have signed up for this, I've decided to use my beautiful Cascade Vino yarn for this instead of the cardigan. I didn't have enough of this yarn to make the cardigan and since I bought it in Colorado there is no hope of matching the lot#'s. So I need to buy some new yarn to make my cardigan. Oh darn, I have to go yarn shopping now. :) I'll let you know what yarn I get and post pictures when I get it and get started on my cardigan.

I am going to start this cowl today because I'm so excited to use this yarn and to try this pattern. Also, I'm off for three days and I don't have a crochet project on my hook right now. Of course I could work some ends in on an afghan that I need to add a border too but that's no fun!

I hope some of you sign up for this CAL and join me and Tracyann as we make this beautiful cowl.

Happy Crocheting!

Some of you saw my strange posts for this one. I was trying something new from flickr and it didn't quite work the way I thought it would so here it is again!

This is made with Lion Brand Tweed Stripes in Caribbean. The pattern is Phannie by Phoebe Gaughan

New Yarn and New Projects!

I have been so busy! Here is some of my new yarn for some new projects...

First up...Red Heart Buttercup Yarn for a baby Cocoon and Hat

Next up...Stitch Nation Bamboo Ewe in Mercury for the Sidewalk Shawl

I have lots more new yarn just not enough time to photograph! Now..New Projects I've been working on.

First up...A new Ripple Baby Blanket made with Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn.  This is a wonderful soft and thick yarn. It's almost cushiony it's so thick. I ran out of the yellow and white so I have to get some more to finish. I am using my own Ripple pattern for this one.

Here is a close up so you can see the wonderful texture and thickness to this yarn!

My next project is a beautiful One Skein Summer Shawl using Caron One Pound yarn in Soft Sage. The pics don't do justice to this color. I love the pattern of this shawl. Very easy and luscious laciness!

Close up of the lacy stitch pattern...

Now I have a Tah Dah! I finished my Amazing Cowl in Ruby...

 I love the Lion Brand Amazing Yarn and the easy pattern using single crochet in the back loops makes nice ridges so it looks Knitted!

I'm not done yet.. I know... I shouldn't wait so long to post. It makes for a long and boring blog..so sorry. I will try to post more often. 


Anyway... last but not least I have finally figured out what to do with my Granny a Day Cal Squares...

I added 3-rows of white...

...it makes it a bigger square! So I am going to finish 24 of them with the white and make an afghan! I think it will look lovely. I just need to add the white to 4 more squares and I can figure out the layout for it and start joining them. What do yo think? Do you like it with white?

That's all for today!


Happy Crocheting everyone!

Hour and a Half Cowel

I don't know how I missed this one over at the Caron Notebook. Love this with a new large "U" hook!!
