Spider-stitch Shawl
Crochet
| Materials: |
Misti-Alpaca 100% Baby Alpaca lace weight yarn in Periwinkle |
| Description: |
My shawl was inspired by this shawl. Dynamics of the shawl have changed - the spider stitch in mine is turning out much more fine, likely due to the finer yarn used. Also, my edging is turning out to be quite different from what is pictured, which I'm glad about. I think that overall I like mine better, but that's probably because I'm biased. Besides, mine is done in a much better fiber (the shawl in the picture is a cotton/poly blend), and who wouldn't want to wear something as cool as baby alpaca? |
| Current Status: |
Probably only about a third of the way done. |
| Time Spent: |
~30 hours |
| ETC: |
~80 hours |

Freeform Pillow
Knit
| Materials: |
Lion Brand Homespun acrylic bulky weight yarn in Shaker 301. |
| Description: |
I'm thinking about doing a cable pattern in the pillow. I will likely work two squares the size of the pillow and then sew or crochet them together and do an edging. |
| Current Status: |
I did a test swatch to figure out how many stitches to cast on when I begin. |
| Time Spent: |
1 hour (for the test swatch) |
| ETC: |
80 hours? |

Finished Projects
Windy Day Hat
Crochet
| Materials: |
Walmart Mainstays acrylic worsted weight yarn in cream and burgundy |
| Description: |
I decided that I need a basic hat to keep my hair from flying in my face so much when I go out. It should also be fairly light and airy for warmer days that also happen to be windy. I am considering using Auntie M's A Rose is a Rose Hat pattern as a basis for my hat. I like that it looks tight enough to not fly off my head in the wind, but the slight brim makes it just a little prettier, IMO, than the majority of other flapper-esque/skull cap patterns. |
