Devil'icious

-


Too much devil'ish fun? Never! With a color scheme of "Coral Stripes," and fluffy fringe of "Pink Poodle," this delightfully devil'icious piece is my new fave of faves. And, it actually had an encore. I made a second piece just like it, only bigger. With more Pink Poodle. Because more is more. 😎 Here is a folder of photos showing how much fun I had making (and posing 🤩) these two sweet pieces of pink poodle'icious'ness: Devil'icious. 


Nothing fancy here, just the same easy peasy pattern that I love copying (simple mesh scarf), because I can do it with my eyes closed. 😃 For the main body, I used yarn (above) that I got on clearance. So colorful, caught my eye right away, Coral Stripes color scheme. For the edging and fringe, I used yarn (below) that I got on sale. So luxuriously fluffy! I simply could not resist, and with a name like Pink Poodle, what is a bling-loving gal to do? 🤩

I'm obsessed with the fluffy luxury of Go For Faux! 😍


Aw! Look at this cutey patootie! My dear niece, Inara, holding up Devil'icious #1, and one of the Sister Shawls. This smart gal is a creative genius, and loves color as much as I do. 😍 She is the original creative colors queen, the inspiration for Ruffle Monster, and a frequent recipient of my fringe fests. 😎


The photo above is Devil'icious #1 and below is Devil'icious #2. As you can see, #2 is way longer. That's because I kept going with it, using two skeins of Coral Stripes. Double the devil'ish'us'ness. 😎  The other main difference between #1 and #2 is the fringe - I used Pink Poodle on #1 fringe, and more Coral Stripes for #2 fringe. Different textures and looks, fabulous and more fabulous. 🤩


Love the look and feel of this yarn combination! 😍 

Yarn Porn 😂


Too big for a scarf (but it does look great with a jean jacket!), too small for a blanket, not the right shape for a cape. What even is this piece?! It is devli'icious, that's what! 😁



Pinks and More Pinks + Fringe = Colorful Fun

Ruffle Monster

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

  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

"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: Unboxing Becky .
