Another Commission!!!

Wow! I got another commission from a wonderful man - who is generous and allows me creative freedom!!!! Two traits I adore!!! He called it a "snood" - but technically it's a hooded caplet or maybe a hooded cowl? I had so much fun making it!! Think I could write a pattern too -

Valentine's Day Commission

Thanks all for your comments on the "Crab" Head - Hat- Hmm - a Pattern - don't think so- would be too hard for me to write. But I am in the process of writing several patterns. They should be ready this Spring. I've had a lot of commissions lately, which is kind of great!!!

Crab Head

I'm going to a workshop with Prudence Mapstone - Jan 15 and 16 - so excited!!!

here's what i've been working on lately - It's for my cousin Meighan - who will wear ANYTHING I make!!!

2 Pointed Hats

I have made many 2 pointed hats over the years.Every time I crocheted one I put it together in a different way. Last year I gave myself the challenge of creating a systematic way of constructing the hat in order to publish a pattern. I taught several classes at "Blue Bird" yarn store in Sausilito, California.Each time I would amend the pattern to make it more direct and understandable . Finally I consulted a tech editor to further refine it.Some of the hats pictured in the photo - montage are a bit fancier and more complicated.The pattern gives the basic construction, and a good starting point .

More Xenobia!!!

Playing around with some yarn from "Crystal Palace"

Susan from Crystal Palace gave me some mini mochi to play around with. I just adore the colors and morphing color changes. I'm working on this vest to wear to fiber events.
