Crocheted Clutch Bag
Made as a birthday present for M from The Happy Hooker pattern “Fit To be Tied”. Used 4ply silky cotton and lined it with light canvas/linen.
Another Seraphina
Bought some blonde laceweight (2ply) merino on eBay. Used two strands and a 4mm hook to approximate a fine 4ply/fingering weight. This is my 4th Seraphina, so I now have 1 for each season!
Ivory Chanson
This was my second Chanson. Although the pattern looks complex, providing you take it 1 row at time, It’s not that difficult. I used a basic mixed-fibres aran yarn for the first one but felt that the yarn didn’t really show off the stitches. It seemed that the pattern needed a drapey yarn with a slight sheen but good stitch definition. I already had some 4ply (fingering) weight mercerised cotton in my stash. so I decided to try using two strands throughout. The finished Chanson has a much better drape and stitch definition. I’d be quite happy wearing this one…
K’s Crocheted Vest
K suddenly announced that he’d like a crocheted vest. So, after a quick stash recon, I opted for In-VEST for Peace and K chose the colours. He seems to like it. Well, enough to wear it when he plays out sometimes…
