Where to find my patterns

I  have been designing crochet and knitting patterns for several years.  I used to write up patterns for friends who wanted to replicate something I had made.  After a while and with some encouragement, I decided to see if my patterns would sell.  They did!

 If you would like to see a collection of my patterns there are three places to look:  Ravelry, Etsy, and Lovecrafts.  There are a few free patterns too!

Here are the links:

First is my shop on Ravelry.  Please comment and/or favourite the patterns you like:

 The 2012 theme for the International Fibrearts Show was 

Inspired!  Music and Art in Fiber.

 My submission was inspired by 'Rhapsody in Blue' by Gershwin.  

 The music takes twists and turns, repeats motifs in different ways and alternates light and dark.  I tried to incorporate this in my freeform scarf.

 I am trying to catch up a bit so here is my entry in the 2011 International Freeform Guild's Show.

For this challenge I drew my inspiration from Neptune, the god of water and of the sea. My piece is worked in reeled silk the colour of the Mediterranean. Since I chose to work in only one colour I used the texture of many different stitches for a variety of effects. Sharks teeth, shells, fins, aquatic plants, and abandoned fishing nets are some of the motifs that you can find amidst the swirling waters.

I love freeform work. It can be bold or subtle, colourful or monochromatic, but whatever it is, it is always interesting and always unique.

Continuing the Adventure: Creative Crochet Lace

My Almost Random Lace Scarf pattern has become very popular since the Crochetville Blog Tour much to my surprise and delight.  In the pattern, I have some suggestions for continuing to explore the possibilities of creating random lace.  

 

 

 

But, I would be remiss if I did not also mention a book by a fellow Raveler, Myra Wood, which takes the technique on to great heights.  Creative Crochet Lace explores filet crochet, doodle lace, Irish crochet, and lace scrumbling from a new and fresh perspective.  The book will take you through the process of creating lace in each of these techniques.  There is also a fabulous gallery of artists' works at the end which is sure to inspire you!

My purpose in this is the same as it was for my creating the Almost Random Lace Scarf pattern, to encourage you to pursue this most relaxing and rewarding method of creating lace.
