Crochet, Flowers and Books


 

 

  Right now I am working on a scarf, you can find the free pattern here. I am thinking, that I probably have the wrong yarn for this project or the wrong hook, since it feels a little stiff. Also trying to learn to crochet small lace shawls for the dolls that I am currently working on. Do you have any suggestions for a book with small projects for dolls? Pinterest always has lovely ideas, specially the Japanese patterns, I like that they always include a diagram of the pattern, since I am a visual learner, I find it easier to follow like that. A friend come over and tried to teach me little tricks and different stitches on knitting...friends are gifts that keeps on giving.
    The books that I am currently reading are: "West from Home" letters from Laura Ingalls Wilder to her husband Almanzo while visiting her daughter Rose in San Francisco 1915. Here is a little quote from the book" ...The more I see the city life the more I love the country..." a girl after my own heart indeed. Also reading "Torches of Joy" a stone age tribe's encounter with the gospel. It is amazing when there isn't any distractions how much one can learn, the Dani people of Irian Jaya are quite amazing.

My shawl- Yarn Along








I have been wanting to make a shawl for the longest time, actually since a saw this pink shawl in the movie  Nicholas  Nickleby a few years ago. Isn't it beautiful!!
The one that I am making isn't like that shawl at all, it is a simply project just with granny square. But, I like the look so far anyway.
What I like the most about this shawl, it start with a conversation at a bookstore, where I met a complete stranger, who gladly interrupt her project and cut a piece of her yarn to make me the little sample on how to make this simple shawl. Isn't that so sweet!

Anyway, if you have a crochet pattern that you like similar to the one in the movie, please let me know where can I find it.

Right now I am enjoying Tasha Tudor's book "Take Joy" and A Jane Austen Devotional by Steffany Woolsey.
