Black Widow Scarf

I've always been fascinated by the spider web crochet patterns, looking for them, saving them, in order that one day I would have the time and suitable yarn to make a project using the pattern somehow.
I'm glad that the time has come! so here is my new black widow scarf. It took a long time to adjust the webs into the scarf, but the result was nice and worth the effort.
It's really easy to crochet; for there are only three stitches in the pattern: chain, single crochet and double crochet stitches. If worked properly, you will see that time will fly, and webs will be constructed faster than a spider's own work.
I hope you like it too, and make one of your own, not necessarily in black.

Santa Club Coaster

Even though Christmas is many months ahead, I realized in recent years that most of the crafters start the preparations early in July and August. I’ve been fascinated by the Christmas accessories since I was a teenager, but recently I began to come up with ideas for doilies, coasters, shawls and other things for Christmas. This year came up with this Santa Club Coaster. I hope you like it. It’s easy to make if you just follow the instructions carefully.

Fall is coming Shawl

I had so many ideas for this summer, I've even finished many projects i had put on hold, and now they only need to be written, and posted. But time says its word, and summer is almost leaving us. So when I received this alize burcum yarn, I envisioned this shawl immediately, and began working on it. It's easy to make once you know how to crochet the six petal flower, which by the way, is popular. I incorporated it in this triangle shawl in a way that makes it almost unnoticeable at first glance, then, after a few seconds, you see multi colored flowers in between the mono repetitive clusters pattern. It's fun. I hope you enjoy making this fall welcoming shawl!
