A very easy crochet pattern, 

for tree ornaments and christmasy bookmarks!

Triana scarf

This "yarn" is named Triana, thus the name of the scarf.

I can not say how many Triana scarfs I have made-and donated. It was so easy-as you can see in the photos, and a great way to keep my hands busy while watching films at home.

zenith wrap

This is a very simple wrap/shawl: cast on 22, needless nr 12 and just knit! 
I made it for a collegue: she likes fancy dressing and she loved this sparkling and velvet yarn.

Babette's feast

This is the my Babette blanket.
I didn't really own the pattern as much as I improvised on it.
The yarns I used are mostly wool, scratchy, of various gauges and colours-I was looking for a simple pattern to use them all (and get rid of them!)

 

 Before stitching the squares together...

...and after.

ethereal wrap

I have had this beautiful, light, cream-brown lace-yarn (Lanas Stop Hudson) for some years but could not find the right pattern for it.

I did not want to make another one of those frill scarfs, so I improvised:
My skein was 10,5m. I cut it into 6X1,70m pieces and crocheted them together using an acrylic yarn (Stylecraft Special DK) of the same cream colour, same high quality, light, soft yarn.

So here it is, an ethereal wrap/scarf for a-night-out!

a capucine...

...for Sophia.

My niece has been asking for a flap-ear hat since some time, so when I found "capucine" I knew that this was the right pattern.

I made the rib section "fair isle knitting 2X2".
This was the first time that I tried my hands on fair isle knitting: I have been dreading and admiring it for years... I followed youtube video instructions and I am so very pround to have done it!

I was afraid that one skein of the (absolutely bliss to watch while knitting) malabrigo mecha would not be enough, so I improvised by using a beige yarn as complementary.
I followed the original pattern and here is the happy result!

Neddles: Nr 6
Yarn: Malabrigo Mecha (color Arco Iris) and Zeeman Julia (color beige)

to start a babette blanket

I have some balls of yarn mostly wool, scratchy, of various gauges and colours- and I was looking for a simple pattern to use them all (and get rid of them!).
So I started a Babette Blanket.

I do not like crochet as much as I like knitting, but my upper arms would do with some relaxing these days...
