ASCENDANCE CROWN DEBUTS

My crochet hat pattern ASCENDANCE CROWN is October's crochet Hat A Long on Ravelry.
Over 30 fiberistas signed up and I emailed the pdf file to participants in the wee hours of Friday, October 1st.

T'was hard to keep it secret, pictures unshared until today, but I did it! Hooray!
And thanks to my two testers from across the world, who made hats and also kept images of their work under wraps, as directed, so that this would be news!

Freeform Fall Flower and Leaf Lariats, Neckwarmers, Garlands

What to call these adornments?
Arranged alliteratively these are Freeform Fall Fiber Flower and Leaf Lariats or scarflettes, neckwarmers, garlands.

I returned again to leaves and decided my flower necklaces could lengthen and loosen and whoa! What fun and excitement!
I was gifted yarn that I made hats and squares for charity( through All Crafts for Charity on yahoo) and realized
that the fall colors worked together.

End of Winter into Spring

All Praises! I've moved. Am home again. Yet made a lot of little things in January and February as I wanted everyone to have something handmade by me. The knitted leaves became bookmarks. And the Koolaid on wool led to some simmering hearts.





. I made several cute hats for charity, expending the last of my red and white. And then was gifted some really exquisite yarn for my charity work.


I keep thinking about my felted jewelry . This spring has veered from 70 degrees to 20 degrees again, perfect for something light and flowery but warm.

Spring Hat Again

I wanted it, but know I need to make product and so made it again, but this time for myself.... which freed me. I made thee crown roomier and the band a little smaller and added several of my leaves. I think I will add more, over time.

Springing Ahead More Light Less Night

I'm trying hard to hold on. Making is a way to put part of the nattering nagging nervousness on hold. What would I do if I could do it? Much more. which says make more, somehow. So I am so happy to have this second hat completed.

An inspired young woman inspired me-- Mini-Dee created a gorgeous cluster shell stitich, which I've attached as an ornament to the hat.

Her mother made a video demo of this lovely motif/stitch!

As this is a hat for sale, I've restrained myself, I like it and will make another version a bit more embellished pour moi.

Purple MagnifiHAt

I've been yearning for a purple hat. I miss my purple hats that are in my home. I want to go home. Anyway, I was gifted with lotf of gorgeous purple bits. I started out sad that I did not have more blue purple and then, dug through to find more of my favorite true purple and amened where i could, the red/pink purple with shiny bits. This is a free form form -- there are many more pieces than it seems as some fo the traingles and rectangles just fit in so well. My head is about 2 inches bigger than the form's so it sad that having finally acquired one, I couldn't use it for pieceing in the way i had hoped, I had to take it on and off my head......


Furthere, this involved my first unraveling/redoing in a looong time. But it is such a cozy comfy fit on me,,,, i want to sleep in it.
I think I may make another purple hat... i love these yarns!
