Lace Gloves

I found this project on ravelry too.  It's a fantastic pattern - totally stylish and perfect for using up bits of leftover half-balls of yarn without making yet another boring scarf.  It's quick too - just sit down in front of a few sitcoms, pick up your crochet hook and it's done!   

For those of you who are do-it-yourselfers, I have included the link to the patten, designed by Dora Ohrenstein.

Otherwise, check out my etsy shop!  I have a few for sale!

Gothic Shawl

This is without a doubt my most popular shawl.  I can't claim the pattern as my own, it was posted on ravelry.  Apparently the original comes from a Japanese pattern book.  It's a stunning design, very impressive.  I've made several for etsy and sold them.  I even did one custom order in a silk laceweight yarn which was GORGEOUS. 



Improved Etsy Shop

Hello to everyone!  I'm working on getting my blog up and running and this is going to be a work in progress, please bear with me.  This is something I've been delaying doing because quite frankly, I'd rather be crocheting!!  Please do check out my improved etsy shop though, it's really much more interesting and I tried hard to get a wider variety of projects in it to give it wider appeal.
