"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 .

And with the leftovers , I did my other lil'fave number, another starting chain piece, this time with a cute pom 'fringe'dangly bit on each end. Way too much fun. 😎   This was a new yarn for me, and wow! Fancy. Love the look and feel of it, gorgeous texture, great color. I will definitely be getting more of this, and I didn't even mind paying full price. 😁 The wool-mohair blend is now my new fave. I bought this yarn at a local sewing shop, Stitcher's Garden. They don't have a big yarn selection, since they focus on sewing. I still love going in there, because it's a place I know Mom would love.  😍  I found their little yarn section, and they had these two gems (above), in Fuchsia and Rosy Velvet, so I snagged'em.   Look how fantastic this is with my jean jacke
