Forays into Crochet

I have a hook, and I know how to use it.




Isn't that GORGEOUS!?  Personally I'm not a huge fan of the color but the motifs are to die for.  I have decided that I will be making this shawl instead of the previous one I posted a picture for.  I got the yarn and I worked up a few motifs for the other one and it just wasn't jiving, you know?  So I trawled the net again, looking for something that made me go "Wow!" and this was it.  All the details about this fantastic shawl can be found here.  I will have to swatch with the yarn I have and see if it's going to work.  But man!  I'm just drooling all over the place!  I think after I finish making one for the swap I will have to make one for myself!

I've also started stash-busting...making hats (and a matching scarf if I have enough yarn) to donate to local shelters and humanitarian projects.  I will also probably make up some little blankies to donate to the animal shelter so that the kitties will have something warm to snuggle in.
I've ordered the yarn for both of these and am waiting very impatiently for it!!


That is being remedied asap.

I've finished the first of my pay-it-forward gifts! I'm very pleased with how it came out. I hope the giftee likes it as much as she wants to and that it fits and is flattering.

Next up: Robyn Chachula's Aragon Tunic! I want to make something pretty to wear while I'm pregnant so that I don't feel like an ugly huge thing - just huge. Haha!
