Petal Leaf Collar and Cuffs





http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/petal-leaf-collar-and-cuffs
Leaf, Flame, Petal, is what this stitch evokes for me.
These are fast and lovely projects, a bit yarn intensive, but their sculptural effect is well worth it.

Jewelry meets warmth in this neck adornment.
Leaves cluster and frame your neck.
This pattern is adaptable and offers options
for reconfiguration as well as matching cuffs.

I created and tested this last year and spent the year sending the set to yarn companies and publishers. While it didn't seem to fit their requirements, it
still thrills me. So I've self published this on my Ravelry site.

Leaf/Flame/Petal Collars






My O my! I certainly did try and voila! I have two new neck adornments.
I'm not sure what to call them, because they could also be tongues, fans, spades,
with their shovel shapes...

I;m going to play with them a bit more. but right now, am enjoying the cuddly and handsome wreath of shapes about my neck, staving off the chill.
