Under Color Crochet

  I can explain. 😆 This piece exists now because I simply could not put leftovers of the Northwoods Wedding shawls into a bin that might get forgotten. I had to create something, anything, out of those leftovers, and this coronation robe for a forest witch queen is what happened. 😎 It is exactly the same base pattern as the gorgeous Granny Shawls I made for the bridesmaids of my dearest deary dear, Moriah.

All the things I love the most. 😍 Over Christmas break I had plenty of crochet time, and I binged on all my favorites: easy patterns, colorful combinations, and all the embellishments. This three-piece set got more embellished every hour. From ruffle to double-ruffle, and from fringe fest to monster fringe fest. 🤩 I love them hanging out, and I love them all bundled up. With the right posing, they almost look like three cozy characters in a crochet adventure.   Hey, that sounds like an idea for board game design. 😁 Yes, stay tuned. My fantastically creative cousin, Cathy, and my spectacularly nerdy brother, Frank, and I are all in geek plan mode, starting to develop a board game based on crochet. We are open to your discussion.
