Last Minute Easter Baskets

It's Easter Saturday and I am crocheting some mini Easter baskets just in time for Easter Sunday. These cute little baskets are perfect for using up small leftovers while conducting experiments with yarn and hooks.

Access All Areas : if you can get a park!

What's wrong with this picture?

A small Mercedes hatchback has squeezed between two other cars in a car park.
One of those 'other cars' is in a disability parking bay.

Method to the Mohair

"Sweet Pea Shawl" crocheted with Moda Vera 'Sentiments Sparkle'
(12% mohair, 12% wool, 72% acrylic, 4% metallic)
Pattern designed by Amie Hirtes (www.nexstitch.com)

Mohair.

Natural fibre,
Ethereal drape,
Mysterious halo,
Adds texture to shape.

Warming wisps,
Catching the air,
Perfectly light*,
But cosy to wear.

Fuzzy and warm,
Bulky or fine,
Soft but not scratchy,
Such blends are divine.

First of the Autumn Scarves

At last! The first three scarves of Autumn 2014 are finished and ready to greet the world.

Some took longer than others, but I am proud of my self-designed silk mohair scarves. 

April Update
