Autumn Trio

-

 

This colorful trio of scarves was relaxing and fun to make. I followed the same easy mesh pattern for all three, using bargain yarn and a size J crochet hook. The cozy colors played out so pretty, I kept wanting to make another one. Above (from left to right) you can see the color schemes of Woodsy, Fall, and Artist Print. Great names for great color schemes!


Love the texture! Bargain yarn isn't a favorite for many people, but I think it sometimes gets a bad wrap. I do love the luxury of high end yarn, too, but I'm not snobby when it comes to having a little colorful fun. 😘



Love how the multi-colors play out in the mesh pattern! I made each one a little bit different length, so that I could see how it all stacked up.


These pieces are all durable, so sturdy with an extra row between the mesh. Perfect for everyday wear, and keeping warm. Lots of colors, but nothing fancy, no ruffles or sparkle. I did put a little bit of fringe on the Fall scarf, because it just seemed right. 😁


Because of the extra row in the mesh, they hold their shape well, and hang perfectly. On hook or hanger, or back of the chair, these pieces look like they are made for posing. 😍


Instead of an elf on a shelf, how about a scarf on a shelf? Even better, three scarves! 😎 These pretty pieces stack up so lovely, I had fun posing them in the corner and on the edge.


All three of them look lovely on their own, but check out how much better they look when paired with my jean jacket! 😎




Just hanging around.

    



And here they are together, cozy on the couch. I had way too much fun posing these pieces. 😁




Multi-Colors + Easy Mesh Pattern = Creative Crochet Fun

  This sweet piece is my first public showing! 🤩 In the Visitor's Center office  😄 on the  first floor of the CSUP Library! 😎 I'm pretty sure this officially makes me a crochet artist now.   🤔  With my work on display for all the people to see.  😍   I can't stop grinnin'.  😁   There is a happy backstory to this colorful yarn. It is the "free to good home" kind of yarn.   😄 Kenny, one of our university librarians, keeps a lost-and-found assortment of items on a shelf behind the front desk. He called me over one morning and handed this odd ball to me! 😋 It was rather rumpled -  loose'ish and a teeny bit unraveled, and had no label on it. But otherwise perfectly good. Clean, brand new , just lost. Needing a good home. Well, it found one! 😍 Of course, I gladly accepted this little Christmas gift , because I knew immediately what I needed to do - make something sweet and bring it BACK to the library for decoration. 😎 Aw, look how fantasti

I love this sweet beast of a piece! 😍 Granny Squares Galore? Godzilla Granny ...  It was difficult to decide what to call this gorgeous monster. 🤩 And it is impossible to get a sense of scale from the photo above . Don't be fooled by the cute poms, and the candy colors. No little baby blankets here, this thing is as big as The Beast . 😎 To get a good look at how big it actually is, I tried draping it over a chair ... but that just made it look like a piled up crash site, with poms and ruffles. 😂   So, I tried giving it scale by arranging it on the couch. But that didn't really work either, because now it just looks like a train wreck . With poms and ruffles. 😆 I absolutely loved making this friendly monster. Here's a photo album of the process ,  including several delightful poses, plus me sitting on the couch. 😁  All the yarn for this piece was actually a kit. But, I ended up not doing the kit piece. I just did my own easy granny square collection. 😎 Then,

This beautiful beast was inspired by Inara, my brother’s niece by marriage. She calls me “Aunt Becky,” even though I'm not actually her aunt in any legal or blood way. Oh, how I love the sound of her sweet voice saying a label that I’ve hardly earned. Extended family is so special, it’s hard to describe, and harder still to explain to people who don’t have as much as we do. Frank’s in-laws became part of my extended family, along with our 22 first cousins (some of whom are almost like siblings to us), and their 45 kids (many of whom are like nieces and nephews to us), all of which I delight in using to confuse my students. Frank’s wife, Kelly, died in 2012, which for some would mean the end of in-law relationships. Instead, a beautiful thing happened, a new closeness. Shortly after Kelly’s funeral, Frank told me that his sister-in-law, Rebekah, had said to him, “You are still uncle to our kids, you will always be their uncle.” Also, Frank later told me that he has become better fri
