I wanted to do a post about crochet since I will be hitting the DFW Fiber Fest this weekend for a little retail therapy. What you see is the pattern Seraphina done with Berroco Boho colors. I love this shawl. I am such an avid crocheter that I wanted to created something with color and make it practical as well. Since I live in Texas I can't really have heavy crocheted items (well not if I plan to get any use out of them) so I go for either cotton or things that are crocheted and have plenty of loops or open space to allow for the body to breathe.I did work on the Art journal last night. What I realize is that mine is more just basic backgrounds and then a lot of actual journaling. I know that is not exactly what I like when I see pictures but it is what I can seem to commit to now. I did see some awesome stuff that has stamped acrylic letters and I think I might go with trying to do a little something like that in the future. I like pictures and words but I really love painting. (It's gotta be a denied passion when I was little that is now just itching to get out.
It's morning and I need to get back to work but I hope you like the design. Many more to come after this weekend. I really need to use up some of this yarn.
