Rose Trellis Scarf

I have crocheted a new scarf for my

Etsy Shop

Although its made of wool, alpaca and angora

it's very lacy and airy.

I think it's a good year round scarf,

depending on the climate someone lives in.

It's very

*GIRLIE*

Aaahhhhhhh.....

all of my favorite things :)

At 72 inches long there is enough length to wrap it anyway you like it.

There's just something so feminine about

soft pink

&

just barely

off white.

I love the slightly diagonal effect the weight of the roses give the shape.

And, of course, I adore the sheer splendour

of the

soft

sumptuous

ROSES

Even though this could be worn all Winter long,

because of the overall

delicate

feel of it,

I think it steps nicely into early

Spring.

 

I hope your days are filled with

sunshine

blue skies

ROSY

thoughts of

SPRING!

 

Lacy Shells Baby Shawl

Yes! A Dinosaur Egg really can become a Baby Blanket! Remember that MONDO ball of yarn I was so excited to find? Well it did finally hatch itself into a lovely blankie  {a few weeks ago actually ~ I just realized I forgot to show you all!}. So here's the BEFORE picture again:

I love the fact that it was a continuous feed of yarn that didn't require adding new skeins and working new ends in. Just like knitting from those wonderful cones of yarn. Makes the working time faster and the finished product smoother. And then of course, the real frosting on the cake is  when it's over it's over. So... without further ado.....the finished product.... 

Hope you like it as much as I do! I'm crazy about the vintage feel the lovely shade of beige lends it. I put it up for sale on my new {and still tiny!} Etsy Shop ~ Front Porch Knits.

Happy Fiber Frolicking {and whatever else you get your fingers in to} To All Of You Today!

French Capelet

I love the lacy beauty and sheer femininity of this crocheted capelet. The elegant drape of this wool and silk blend yarn really shows off the pattern of this vintage looking piece. I think the flowers dancing along the bottom are so pretty. I made this particular one for myself, but have crocheted many of these capelets in various colors for friends and to sell. Although they are lightweight and airy, they add just enough warmth when wrapped around the shoulders on a cool afternoon. And the minute I put mine on I  feel like I've taken a step back in time.
