The giant chain link cowl

I'm not sure what I think of it but I had to make it.  I just had to.  I can safely say that I will never wear it but I envy those who have the courage to.

Braided cowls

These have recently been added to my etsy shop.  For braided cowls and more see this link.



I am a bad blogger.

I really don't blog much and to be honest, sometimes don't get the point of blogging.  I tried, stopped and I'm back again.  Anyway, I now have something to say.  Check out my etsy shop for newly added winter items!  Cowls, scarves and more.

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.

I'll be constantly updating the shop so please keep checking for new items!
