When Dreams Come True

Here is my first ever Interweave Crochet design and, in my opinion, my largest Crochet design accomplishment: The Moss Fern Wrap.

I designed this after meeting Gina Wilde at my local yarn shop. She was an amazing person and I felt very inspired by her yarns, her dye process and pretty much everything about her (can we all say stalker together and get it over with?!)

If I had one person to thank for this it would be Meera, my local yarn shop owner. Meera has pushed (without even knowing it) my design engine. Her choice of yarns and color is something I have never seen before. Walking into her store knitknack is a feast for the eyes! I am always inspired by her shop and my wallet can attest for that!

Thank you Meera for steering me in the right direction, for your confidence in my designs, and for your friendship and honest nature that I so admire.

Secret Project Done

I have been working on a secret project for a little over two weeks now and I am thrilled to say that she is done! Well, not really done because I still have to block her and write the pattern. I wish I could give you a little glimpse of what she is but I can't do that.... Wait! Here she is!

Sorry, I wish I could show you more! I have two sketches to send off this afternoon, so I have to get going, it's finally a swimming beach day (hurricane Bill did not let us swim the whole weekend!)
