This is a very special piece. In one of my yarn surprise boxes, there was this crazy luxurious yarn:
40% Wool - Merino
25% Camelid - Llama
20% Silk
15% Cellulose - Linen / Flax

I was almost scared to use it and searched the longest time for a fitting project. I eventually decided on the Shawl of the Moirae and I think it's such a special piece.

Yarn: The Fibre Co. Meadow in color Pennyroyal

Let's talk about blocking your crochet pieces. Blocking is magic and can bring your project to a whole new level.
Swipe to see what this snowflake ornament looked like before and during blocking. In this case I was also working with starch, which I don't do for shawls. But it's useful for an ornament.
By the way - you don't need expensive equipment to block something. In this case, I used a kids' playmat and some pins. You could also use a folded up towel.

The snowflake features an intricate lace-like design with a central circular motif and radiating symmetrical points, showcasing the fine craftsmanship and attention to detail in this handmade piece. It seems a bit scrunched, as it has not yet been brought into shape.

The pattern for this beauty is called "Dandelion Lane" and the yarn I used reminded me of a Dandelion growing out of a street. Amazing little resilient plants! Also - the shawl has Glitter. Most things are better with Glitter.

About three years ago I took on the adventure "Elf Coat". It was my first Tunisian Crochet Project and what a learning it has been. The pattern and the resources available from the designer are wonderful and I learned so much from her! The following observations are related to my specific project alone.

- Don't use acrylic yarn for a garment. The static when peeling this coat off is unreal.
- Don't forget gravity: I'm plus size = more yarn = heavier garment = the whole thing stretches when worn. I wanted it to be at my knees, it grew down to my shins.
- Did I mention the static? Seriously, I think that surprised me the most.
- Tunisian Crochet is not my cup of tea. But I'm happy I tried it out.
- Making a garment as a plus size person sucks, unless the garment was specifically designed for plus size.

This is a more recent project, finished last December; therefore the slightly crappy lighting. It's super flowy and delicate, made with lace-weight yarn. And it has glitter! Swipe to the close-up to actually see some of the sparkles.

Happy #caturday ! Lewis likes to help with my projects, especially if they are soft.
This cowl/hood combination sounded like a great idea and it was really pretty... but it did not suit me at all. I looked so ridiculous in it that I could only let BB-8 model it. :lol: Seriously, I looked like a Jawa. But hey, practice and all that, so all was fine and had its purpose. :-)

Oh, I almost forgot about this beauty! I used 2 Yarncakes and alternated them; I ended up using about 1824 m yarn. It's a pattern by a polish designer, essentially it's just charts and I was so proud that I managed to make it. Being able to read crochet charts opens up a whole new world beyond language barriers. I love it.

A vibrant crocheted shawl hangs on a white door, showcasing a beautiful gradient of colors. The pattern begins with shades of pink at the top, transitioning seamlessly through pink, orange, yellow, and finally green at the bottom edge. The intricate lace design highlights skilled craftsmanship, and the shawl is draped over a hanger, with its ends loosely tied in front.

#throwback to the first test crochet I did. I love the little clouds in the design and the pastel colors of the yarn.
Bonus picture of how I block most of my shawls - I stretch them pinned with clothespins on the catnet on my balcony... That day the sky was even matching the shawl. :smiley:

Forgot to take progress pictures for #wipwednesday , that's why you get a crappy 5am-before-leaving-for-work picture. :lol:
This pattern is a pure variation of SC stitches. I can't work too long on it because quite honestly, SC stitches bore me, that's why I am normally drawn to the complex lacy patterns. Nevertheless... the braiding for this one is very cleverly constructed. I'm using my Cthulu Advent 2024 Krakenyarns handdyed yarn and it's really wonderful. :heart:
