Crochet Obession

Oh my. We started heading for cold weather in NC last week, so I needed a new hat, a new scarf, and my Aunt brought so many things to me (Wilbur buds, a wonderful brooch that was my Nana’s, yummy Lancaster county pretzels…) that I felt she needed a scarf. Here’s everything:

This was made with Lion Brand Autumn Trails. I used maybe 3 balls. Pattern was just a front/back loop sc rectangle that was gathered at the top. There’s a little bit o’ long fringe too.

I made this neutral scarf on the drive up to NC (I wasn’t driving at the time!) Made with Lion Brand Chenille Mocha and Patons Divine Soft Earth in sc.

This was the scarf for my Aunt. It is just hdc with Patons Allure yarn in Mink, Sapphire, Sable, Turquoise, and Amethyst.

What to do with all that leftover Lion Brand Homespun (Praire)? A pillow, of course! Here she is:

Yeah, yeah, how did I do it? I really am not fond of patterns (yet…maybe I’ll get better, and then they won’t seem so daunting). But I am into relief stitches lately! I was inspired by MaryMac’s blanket, and I just used that pattern for the center (although I did 3 fpdc in a row, not 4, to square it up a bit). I then dc’d around the center part of the pillow until it fit my form that I had. The back is all dc to fit the front. I finished it by slip stitching the whole thing together and adding tassels. ta-da! Thanks MaryMac!
