Newest Design - The Sharf! I call it that because it's a combination Shawl/Scarf. It's a versatile piece that can be worn many ways. You can make it into a skinny scarf, or a medium width scarf - or you can make it as wide as you want so it will cover your shoulders like a shawl. Make it longer by starting out with a longer chain (multiples of 11).

It can be wrapped around your neck twice for a warm, cozy neck wrap, or let it dangle to your thighs like a rock star! Add an Optional edging, included in the easy instructions. Use any worsted weight or chunky/bulky yarn. Skill level: Easy/Beginner

Stitches used: Dc

Pattern available soon in my Etsy shop.

Some Crochet & Knit Patterns and Items in my Etsy shop

I won a GOLD Medal in the Crochetville Olympic Challenge! The idea was to crochet something during the Olympics that would be a challenge for you to complete in 16 days. You couldn't start until they lit the torch, and it had to be finished before they extinguished the flame. I made a Molly Weasley Sweater. The challenge for me was to stick with it and not get distracted by other projects. I completed it with time to spare. Here are pics of the finished sweater. The pattern can be found in my Etsy shop.
