Under Color Crochet

  A labor of love. I tried and tried, and tried again (and again, twice) to make this work. In two locations, three different geometries. A love-hate relationship. I had to give up. Let it go. I cannot make a Christmas tree out of my yarn. But I can keep dreaming. 😂 The good news is, I have a fantastic "yarn pile tree skirt scarf thing" here, and some day I may figure out how to actually use it as a yarn tree skirt. 😋 Christmas Tree Skirt I have a long love affair going with Christmas fun! 😍 And it's only December 1st right now, stay tuned. I'll soon be adding to this colorful list: Candy Cane Ruffle Centerpieces Wintergreen Winter Mint Blue Christmas Candy Snow Snow Day

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! ...

  These two sweet pieces have so much in common - and they are so entirely different from each other. I had to call them Sister Shawls. 😁 Like these two shawls, my sister and I had a lot in common, and we were completely opposite on so many things. Aw, Cindy, my big sis, I miss you. 😍  I think Cindy would have liked both of these shawls. They are the exact same pattern, but two totally different yarns. The gray yarn is a bulky weight chenille, so soft and luxurious, it is absolutely dreamy to wear. It also has a beautiful sheen that makes this luscious color anything but dull gray. The pale turquoise colored yarn is extra fine weight, and actually kind of hard to work with, it's so fine. Take a look at how delicate it is:  This is my favorite "Summer Nights" yarn, that I usually work with three strands at a time. But I decided, for once, I would work with just the one strand, because I wanted the lace look. It was slow going, very slow to work up. But, so absolutely wor...

  I absolutely love these sweet pieces!    😍   They are all the same basic pattern of repeating shell stitches, which I learned from watching this 10-minute video . That easy 10 minutes turned into hours and hours of relaxing, creative, colorful fun. 😎 And, o nce again, thanks Yarned & Dangerous , for the fantastic yarn.   In this quartet of sweet shawls there are actually only three that are small (and multicolored). The fourth one is quite large (and pure purple!), and all of them are completely gorgeous. 🤩 That is one of the cool things about this pattern - you can keep going and going, to make it as large as you want. Or you can stop sooner and make it nice and small. Here's a whole folder of way too many pics, showing how much fun I had with this quartet: Small Shawls . It was because of a fantastic fashion show that I was inspired to make the large purple shawl (above). There was a gathering of local fiber artists, and I fell completely in lo...
