Hooded



I just completed a new hood in hot pink and gray. The new one is shorter in length compared to my earlier ones, shown here, above and below. The red one was an accident after the original project didn't work out. I had a length of red and gray crocheted fabric that I folded in half and decided would make a really cute hood. From there I decided to repeat the accident on purpose and I made the gray and orange version. The hoods are so cute and have sold well to cold places, like Portland and Amsterdam! There's not too much use for a hood like this in Texas, but we have some cold days. It was 65 F today!

Fall Weddings

This is a custom order for two shrugs, similar to my Lilac Shrug, in custom colors for brown dresses at a Fall wedding. I ended up using a woven cotton yarn, which was so soft, instead of wool, like the Lilac Shrug. The colors are warmer than they appear in my photograph. I hope they did their job and that the wedding was a lovely happy occasion!
