Summer Update

Been crocheting up a storm this Spring/Summer! Thought I'd better hurry up and get some pix posted! I'm sure I've missed a few projects along the way, but these are the photos I found. Have lots more new projects in the works, but that's for another day.

This is my favorite, because I designed it myself. :) I had 5 wee balls of SWTC Amerah 100% raw silk and wanted to do some sort of openwork to make this small amount of yarn go a long way.

I found a stitch I liked called Twist and Turn in Jean Leinhauser/Rita Weiss' 365 Crochet Stitches a Year, and made an openwork variation of the stitch variation pictured in the book and took it from there to finishing with a reverse single crochet edging. The yarn has a lot of body and worked really well with this stitch.

Back view of a jacket I made from a pattern. This one's 100% bamboo tape yarn. It's so soft and light, this yarn, but doesn't really have enough body for this design. I might take it apart and use it on something better suited to its soft drapey-ness. Then again, I haven't tried blocking it.

Below are various completed items...washcloths, back scrubbers, potholders, hotpads, and a few other things.

Still need to do top curtain
