Things are getting back to normal after a bad migraine spell that made me useless all last week. I’m looking a little sickly in these photos because of it but I was really excited about a new crochet design I finished this month. This actually isn’t my favorite yarn to work with (though taupe is definitely my favorite neutral) but I have a soft wool in mind that will work well too.
I had been wanting to make either a shawl or poncho forever but wasn’t sure how to create the drape and texture I wanted. Then when I finally gave up and was going to just crochet whatever, I accidentally formed what I was looking for… Don’t you just love when things go your way?
This shawl works surprisingly well for warmer weather, despite the thick yarn. It’s the perfect solution for chilly arms and unattractive spaghetti straps. It would probably work well draped over a skirt, too, as a little cover up.
Whenever I recover from a bad headache or cold, I feel 1000x more appreciative of my good health than I did before. Even the days that aren’t so great mentally… I’m just happy to feel well and be able to be active and just go about my day… so here’s to that!
What have you created lately?
What a wonderful creation, I love how it goes together with that cute dress.
this is such a beautiful creation!
This would look so pretty with a vintage broach pinning it together… you look gorgeous in that dress, with this color on top! Glad you are feeling better sweetie, migraines are the worst!
