Cross Medallion And An Apology

I'd like to express my appreciation to those who had been following/viewing this blog and at the same time, I'd like to express my apology for not being able to post often enough here. I have other interests that I'm pursuing so if you are curious, please click on my profile to see the other interests that occupy my time. Thanks again for stopping by.

This photo is of a Cross Medallion done in crochet. If there are enough interests, I would post the instructions on how to make it.

Have a good day everyone!

Open Fan Shawl

After I finished this shawl this winter, my creativity just went into hibernation and my energy level went down the drain. This past winter seems to be the longest one that I remember. But I'm so glad that Spring is finally here, well, hopefully, no more cold spells. No energy no crochet. I'm hoping to get back in the swing of things (crochet) but, then there are the seeds that need to be planted and I really want to spend more time in the sunshine. I missed it so much!

The Hounds Tooth Experiment

I favor the #4 swatch. I think this is closer to the look of the woven design. I will continue to improve on the #4. I did not use tapestry crochet technique on this swatch. I crochet each color alternately on each row without breaking either yarn.

One of my niece asked me if I can crochet a hounds tooth using two colors. Since I can't find any available crochet pattern for this stitch design I decided to experiment on it myself and see what I can come up with. Above are photos of my design experiment of Hounds Tooth Crochet Pattern. I want to make a beret out of the #4 swatch.

Happy Crocheting and Designing!

Dogwood blossom motif

This is just a swatch. I have not decided what items to make. Should I make a tablecloth? place mat? Curtain tie back, etc, etc........ endless possibility and unless I make up my mind what to make of this motif, this will just remain a little piece of pretty little motif laying somewhere alongside my stash of yarn, unused, unseen and not good for anything except to collect dust. An Idea is of no use to anyone unless applied and or given physical form to benefit others.
