Ribbon scarf

Decided to take a break from stitching and do a little crocheting. I fell in love with Red Heart Sachay yarn and these ribbon scarves. I've found several different ways to make them. This one I used the 10 ct slip stitch gather.

Crochet Shawl for sister

Crocheted for my sisters birthday. The yarn is actually soft white-those halogen lights make it look different. I figured she can wear it this spring to work & church.

Irish Crocheted Table Runner Magic Crochet #59

This is at each end


This was one of the hardest things I have crocheted and I have been crocheting over 40 yrs. I made it for a wonderful friend of mine.The original pattern from Magic Crochet magazine was about half the size so I had to use my brain and double the pattern etc. It is so beautiful I hate to part with it. I used a #10 crochet thread by South Maid with a #7 hook. It is 65 in long and 24" wide
