I was a knit and crochet maniac in November/December, but failed to photo or post most of my projects before they went to their new owners...you know how it is. Here's where I left off on my scarf making. I've moved into the world of cowls. It was this free pattern from Lion Brand that got my attention...something about the texture that I really loved. I'm not an experienced crocheter but I settled into this simple single crochet, double crochet rhythm quite easily.
I also fell in love with the alpaca/acrylic blend...so soft, yet so warm, and not itchy like wool can be sometimes. So I went back for more...
...and made a few.
The pink one shown here is the fourth one I made...I sold several at my Preschool Holiday Fair in November. Oddly enough, the green one in this photo IS quite scratchy and not fun to wear...how does that work? It's the exact same blend. Oh well. I'm thinking of maybe lining it with fleece but am not quite sure how that would work out.
I made more cowls for teacher gifts...
This time using a lovely wool/silk blend from Noro that is so lovely to work with. And just look at the texture.
Up next: I'm trying to squeeze in more scarf making for a silent auction fundraiser at my son's school and thought this would make a pretty scarf.
