The pattern for this beauty is called "Dandelion Lane" and the yarn I used reminded me of a Dandelion growing out of a street. Amazing little resilient plants! Also - the shawl has Glitter. Most things are better with Glitter.

Pattern: Dandelion Lane by Grassharp
Yarn: Hobbii Twister Glitter from a Second Choice Bag.

This is a more recent project, finished last December; therefore the slightly crappy lighting. It's super flowy and delicate, made with lace-weight yarn. And it has glitter! Swipe to the close-up to actually see some of the sparkles.

Oh, I almost forgot about this beauty! I used 2 Yarncakes and alternated them; I ended up using about 1824 m yarn. It's a pattern by a polish designer, essentially it's just charts and I was so proud that I managed to make it. Being able to read crochet charts opens up a whole new world beyond language barriers. I love it.

#throwback to the first test crochet I did. I love the little clouds in the design and the pastel colors of the yarn.
Bonus picture of how I block most of my shawls - I stretch them pinned with clothespins on the catnet on my balcony... That day the sky was even matching the shawl. :smiley:

Forgot to take progress pictures for #wipwednesday , that's why you get a crappy 5am-before-leaving-for-work picture. :lol:
This pattern is a pure variation of SC stitches. I can't work too long on it because quite honestly, SC stitches bore me, that's why I am normally drawn to the complex lacy patterns. Nevertheless... the braiding for this one is very cleverly constructed. I'm using my Cthulu Advent 2024 Krakenyarns handdyed yarn and it's really wonderful. :heart:

Another pattern design is in the works. I clearly have an obsession with all-over mosaic shawls. Sorry, not sorry.

Two-color mosaic shawls are one of the best uses of those rando single skeins you have no idea what to do with.

Yarn is Quince & Co Finch in Crow and The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers Rocky Mountain Purls in Queen Anne’s Lace.

Before we dive into more hats, let's do #wipwednesday . I have a few WIPs going, but I'm rather intruiged with that one. LOTS of bobbles in many variations, so much structure. It's going to be spectacular. :-)

Pattern: Lucky moments by Julita Janicka (I adore her designs!)
Yarn: 3ply cotton/polyacryl blend from a Bobbelscheune Adventcalendar

Here's another pattern I made several times from when I was a beginner to more advanced. It was also the first pattern I actually bought. In the beginning it was important to me that the patterns I used were free, as I really needed to learn and get a feeling for them. Nowadays I'm happy to pay for a well written pattern or chart. (in fact, I prefer charts now) In any case, this one being the first pattern I bought holds a special place in my heart and I should really make it again. :-)
The second picture shows a close up of the intricate pattern.

Lets visit some more projects made from hand dyed yarn. For me, it's always so much harder to find a suitable project in crochet for those beautiful Indie Yarns. They are usually also not as flamboyant as my preferred gradient-projects. But that's ok, I need the variety. This is the Meraki Shawl. The Designer added this description:
Meraki •Greek• may-rah-kee
(n.) when you put something of yourself into your work by adding soul, creativity and love
I love this!

Pattern: Meraki by CJ Brady
Yarn: from a local artisan, The Craft Room Gundeliyarn

During my crochet journey so far, I eventually came across those beautiful handdyed hanks of yarn. Every once in a while I cave and buy one, eventhough I then find it very hard to find a worthy project for those special yarns.

I think this was one of the first half circle shawls I attempted. And the one I kept for myself and which gets a lot of wear. (especially since I learned a couple of wrapping techniques). It's very soft and drapeable.

Yarn: Hobbii Twister in colour Nordic Winter
