Irène in Red

I once saw this amazing mannequin on Flickr and just fell in love with her.  Unfortunately, the owner didn't want to part with her!  As fate would have it, one day, in the not too distant past, he posted that he was selling all of his mannequins!  Swoosh!  And the rest is history.....

This cowl fits a variety of sizes:

Girl pictured is 5'9" tall/ Dress size 5/6

Bust: 34C



This young lady wears a size 5/6 and is 5'9" tall.
Her bust size is 34C



Finished!  At last... the Katniss Cowl from  "The Hunger Games, Catching Fire" is complete and posted in my Etsy shop.  This was a lot of fun!

I've been working hard to finish this cowl!  I was able to find 3 more skeins of yarn yesterday and spent several hours adding to the bodice.  I'm nearing completion and then I'll have to try to figure out how to duplicate what has become a free-form design. (lol)

Katniss Cowl from the "Hunger Games, Catching Fire"

My high school took all the students to see the "Hunger Games, Catching Fire" and I sat through most of the movie trying to figure out how to make a crochet version of the cowl worn by Katniss in the beginning of the movie.  Sofar, I've only gotten as far as one round past the collar because I ran out of yarn and can't find anymore anywhere.  There must be a lot of other crafters trying their hand at this cowl!  (lol)
Enjjoy!

I'll keep you posted when I can get my hands on more yarn. :->

OOAK Patchwork Shawls

I've come to love making these one-of-a-kind (OOAK) shawls because they've helped me solve a decade's old problem - what to do with left-over yarn. :->  Not only is the process fun (because I never know how the finished product will look) but it's such a joy to have a person tell me they've just got to have it!  When I sit down to begin one of these projects, piles of yarn surround me and as I pluck one color after another, the stitches are just as randomly applied.  I hope noone ever asks me to repeat a design because... well, they're OOAK.

This lovely lady purchased one of my shawls at a recent Fall Festival.  She was such a beauty, I begged her to pose for a picture.
