For this scarf I used a 96% merino boucle yarn by Sublime. It's a little difficult to work with so i had to take my time. I finished it off with a sc boarder of black/gray/white kid mohair.
Shell and V Stitch Scarf
For this scarf, I used a shell and v stitch and Universal yarn. This yarn is wonderful to work with and I got it from the great yarn shop in Beaufort, SC. Coastal Knitting is a welcoming and well stocked store and in a great location right downtown. I got some great advice there and... Continue Reading →
Angora green scarf
This was my first attempt at the tipsy cluster stitch and I think it came out nicely! I used Louisa Harding Kimono Angora Pure yarn which is 70% Angora 25% Wool and 5% Nylon. It is a great yarn to work with and the scarf is very light and ultra soft.
Countryside scarf
This nice long scarf only took a couple of days to make. I used a simple fan stitch and used three balls of Sundance Countryside wool/mohair/acrylic yarn. However, because I hardly ever use patterns, I now have one ball leftover. Tassels? Maybe. I have 4 balls of another color so I'll just make it wider!
Surprise Shawl

Blues Baby Blanket
This was commissioned and I used Caron Simply Soft in two shades of blue and white and did a basic crochet shell stitch throughout. The border is one round of single crochet in blue, then double crochet in white, then a picot for the border. There are 17 shells across and then 11 rows of... Continue Reading →
Gray mohair scarf
For this scarf I used two strands of yarn. One is mohair and the other a tweed. I used a large crochet hook so the fan stitch is really open. This will sure be a warm scarf!
Tiger eye scarf
I was in Washington DC over the weekend for the national book festival. I ventured out to find Stitch DC, which is a great little yarn and knitting shop, to work on a scarf project. While I'm sitting there I hear someone say my name so I look up and there is Janet! We figured... Continue Reading →
First Crocheted Shawl
For this shawl, i of course, used no pattern! 🙂 I started out with just a basic granny stitch that spread out from the center till i thought it was big enough. It measures 54" at the top (where i did a basic shell stitch) and 29" down the middle/back of the shawl. I used... Continue Reading →
Gray men’s scarf
I used Debbie Bliss Glen yarn for this very simple scarf. I used a half double crochet through the back loop stitch and a size H needle. This made for a tight stitch which will make for a very warm scarf! The yarn is wool, alpaca, and acrylic.
