Ok, last one for the day and I'll have to start again tomorrow and get the rest of my stuff photographed and uploaded. This is a , it's a triangular shawl using this awesome granny stitch with little teeny butterflies, how cute is this?! It's made with Amazing Lace and a 2.5mm hook. It's extremely delicate because of the lace weight yarn and the openwork stitches, it's very drape-y and soft, and very lightweight. Love the stitch pattern though.

Yet more crochet and knitted stuff ... Bags and purses, the first is a mesh market bag, made with Lily Sugar & Cream 100% cotton yarn with a nice oversize front pocket, button and loop closure for the pocket, and then an icord drawstring for the main part of the bag. There are a couple of other miscellaneous bags I've made that I'm not fully happy with, a rainbow and black one using star stitch, and a red knitted mesh one using 24/7 cotton. The last two are little mesh soap saver bags that I do as a bonus item that you get along with 3 round cotton face scrubbies. And I've still got a bunch of other items left to post, I really hope I can sell some of this stuff and clear out space so I can make more!

This is one of the finished items I'm most happy about 🙃 this is the Pineapple Lace Festival Top, it's a free download from Ravelry. I used Truboo in white, and it is SO nice! The bamboo yarn is softer than cotton. I used knit i-cords for the straps, and I altered the stitch pattern for the bra cups; the pattern said to use half doubles, but I actually did linked double crochets instead. I think it helps to minimize gapping between the stitches, and it just looks nice. Last step is to add bra cup inserts, cotton fabric lining, and an elastic band around the under-boob area, and then it's DONE! 😁 I love it and I'm already working on more in larger sizes and other colors.

Lots of new stuff off the hook recently, got some hats... The one I'm wearing is a discontinued yarn similar to Unforgettable, very silky. The other two are loom knit with wool. (There's only one shown, the green/brown-ish one, but I made a second in black/grey tones too, in the exact same style, but the pics didn't load?). Anyways, pompoms of course will be added soon and these babies are done! 😁👍

Found a free YouTube tutorial and made this shawl. Very lacy with one of my favorite stitches, spider lace. Used Red Heart Ombre in Anemone and a 6mm hook. Never been much for wearing shawls, but I like it! Think I'll make more 😀

Last one for today ... In keeping with the pineapple lace theme I've inadvertently got going on today, here's some more. First is a really bright hot pink granny stitch top with pineapple lace around the neckline and bottom edge, and then the Caress Wrap by a designer named Kim Guzman (I couldn't find her to tag her). The top was made with Cotton Fair, one of my favorites for making crocheted garments, and the wrap was made with , which is a nice acrylic yarn to use for garments too. Alright! This is just the beginning, lol there's going to be a lot more posts upcoming. I'm taking photos of all my products, creating an inventory list and making my tags in preparation for craft markets and fairs. Progress!

Can you tell I love pineapple lace? You can't have too many crocheted doilies, they're just a classy way to decorate 🙂 these are two different doily designs, one smaller and one larger, both with a central flower motif and some lace stitches, and one has some petal stitches around the border. Pretty! 🥺
