Portfolio; DIY &Notes - a crafted journey
Pocket Scarf seems to be the in thing this season. So I jumped in with my take on the pocket scarf (aka pocket shawl) in this Floral Pocket Scarf. The technique I used was LC2C (Linked C2C) crochet but you can as easily make this using the standard C2C (Corner to Corner) crochet.
In C2C Crochet, how do you make a straight diagonal edge? That was exactly what I had to do recently to make pockets that had a slanting top edge. Here is a quick tutorial on how to make a straight diagonal edge in Corner to Corner crochet.
This Artist Trio Blanket is based on the (partial) works of 3 inspirational artists: Paul Klee, Janet O’Neal, Wassily Kandinsky. At this stage (before the blanket is made), I don’t know if I will list the resultant graph (aka graphan) for sale. If it all works out ok, I probably will just in case someone wants to give this a try too.
This C2C Crochet lap blanket is based on an abstract art I saw on Pinterest. I can’t find it now and I don’t know who to credit the design to. If you know, please do let me know.
I had never heard of C2C crochet till a few short weeks ago. When I finally went to learn it, it turned out easier than I thought.
A dear friend of mine loves Marimekko designs. I just learnt C2C crochet. It seemed a perfect time for me to attempt a lap blanket, using corner to corner crochet. This was inspired by the well known Marimekko designs.
