Pinky'n'Pinkier

One strand of this superfine weight yarn is hard to work with, but FOUR strands all at once is fun with fine'ness! 😎 This yarn, called "Amazing Lace," is now discontinued (sad face!), but I still have plenty leftover. I bought way too much of it many moons ago, on sale, and I don't regret it. 😁 I love these two colors, raspberry and periwinkle. I summarize this as "pinkish and pink'ness," or "pinky'n'pinkier."

For "oh, so many more" photos of this super fun with superfine, check out this folder of too many pink pics: Pinky'n'Pinkier.  😋

Pink and more pink looks great with my jean jacket! 😎


Love, love, love this texture! The superfine yarn makes it so very soft, while the four strands of it all working together make it super cozy and warm.


Freaky Fringe! The superfine weight of this yarn means that static electricity is definitely a factor in how it moves and grooves. 😎 It stuck to the wall like groovy crochet glue. 🤩


I had way too much fun playing with the static electricity of this freaky fringe. 😎

Love the look! 😍




So much lace'y pink leftover, I might have to make another one just like this. 🤩



Pink caps love pink friends! 😁



Pink + More Pink + Freaky Fringe = Crochet Fun

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. ?...

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...

"Unboxing Becky"

      Aw! This makes me so happy: my dearest cousin, Cathy, opening boxes from me. 😍 I sent a few small boxes of my simple stuff, just the usual colorful creations that I love making. And I love it even more when those creative crochet pieces go to a good home. 😎 Free-To-Good-Home could be the title of this blog, instead of Under Color Crochet. 😁 Because all of my crochet items are donated to friends, family, and organizations that can best make use of them. And Cathy is using them to cheer, warm, and inspire her students! I am absolutely thrilled about that. 🤩 In the snapshot above, Cathy has just opened the box with the gray sister of Sister Shawls .   And below, she is opening the box that contains one of the two Devil'icious pieces. The other sister of Sister Shawls and the other Devil'icious piece went to Inara... Now that I think about it, I need to get those two fabulously creative gals together.   😎 To see the whole playlist of videos, go here: U...
