Dantelina – A Lace Crochet Shawl Pattern

I’m delighted to announce the release of my latest crochet pattern, “Dantelina,” in collaboration with Expression Fiber Arts. This marks our second partnership, and I’m thrilled to share this elegant design with you. You can find the pattern here: https://www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/dantelina.html.

About the “Dantelina” Shawl

“Dantelina,” derived from the Malagasy word for “lace,” embodies the delicate beauty of fine threads woven into intricate patterns. This versatile openwork lace shawl is perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to any outfit. The pattern offers two sizes: a scarf measuring 44 inches by 20 inches (112 cm x 51 cm) and a shawl measuring 95 inches by 37 inches (241 cm x 94 cm), both customizable to suit your preferences.

Yarn Selection

For this design, I selected Expression Fiber Arts’ luxurious Moongleam Fingering yarn, a harmonious blend of 50% cotton and 50% mulberry silk. This 2-ply yarn boasts a soft, silky texture with a subtle sheen, making it ideal for showcasing the intricate lacework of “Dantelina.” The sample features the “Lens Flare” colorway, a gorgeous smoky teal blue that adds depth and elegance to the piece. To recreate the shawl, you’ll need approximately 800 yards (732 meters) of fingering-weight yarn. With a wide range of stunning colorways available in their Moongleam Fingering collection, you can choose the perfect shade to make this shawl uniquely yours

Pattern Details

Designed for the adventurous beginner, “Dantelina” introduces a variety of stitches, including double crochet, picot, and fan stitches. The pattern provides clear instructions and is easily adjustable, allowing you to modify the size to your liking. A US size F (3.75 mm) crochet hook is recommended to achieve the desired gauge.

A Continued Collaboration

Collaborating with Expression Fiber Arts again has been an absolute joy. Their exquisite yarns bring out the best in my designs, and I love seeing how their colors and textures enhance each stitch. I’m excited to see how you bring this pattern to life with your unique touch.

Happy crocheting!

Núverandi – Shawl Pattern

I’m thrilled to announce the release of my latest crochet pattern, “Núverandi,” in collaboration with Expression Fiber Arts! This pattern holds a special place in my heart, as it’s my first design published outside of self-publication. You can find the pattern here: https://www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/nuverandi.html

About the “Núverandi” Shawl

“Núverandi,” meaning “current” or “present” in Icelandic, features rippling, alternating waves reminiscent of water currents. This design serves as a gentle reminder to stay present and mindful of life’s ebb and flow. The shawl measures an impressive 105 inches (267 cm) in length and 18 inches (46 cm) in width when blocked, offering versatile styling options—from a cozy wrap to a stylish scarf or hood.

Yarn Selection

For this project, I chose Expression Fiber Arts’ luxurious CashSilk Sock yarn, a fingering-weight blend that combines the softness of cashmere with the sheen of silk. The sample showcases two stunning colorways: “Rooted” and “Icy.” To recreate this look, you’ll need two skeins of each color, totaling four skeins. If these specific colors aren’t available, any shades from their fingering-weight collection will work beautifully.

Pattern Details

Designed with the adventurous beginner in mind, “Núverandi” offers an opportunity to explore various stitch heights, including double crochet, half double crochet, and treble crochet. The use of half double crochets in the third loop on specific wrong-side rows adds texture, creating an overlapping wave effect. The pattern is easily customizable; you can adjust the length by modifying the beginning chain in multiples of 16 and increase the width by adding more repeats.

A Milestone Achievement

Partnering with Expression Fiber Arts for this release is a dream come true. Their commitment to quality and creativity aligns perfectly with my design philosophy. I’m beyond excited to share “Núverandi” with you and can’t wait to see the beautiful shawls you’ll create.

Happy crocheting!

Sweet 16 Afghan

Julie's Sweet 16 AfghanThe first project of the year is finished and delivered! My Niece Julie turned 16 in January and I wanted to make her a nice, grown-up afghan.  With her favorite color purple, I started in on a corner-to-corner afghan.  This is a very simple pattern that you can easily google instructions for.  It works up perfectly square, or rectangular with very little effort and I really like how the variegated yarn looks in the pattern.  (We know I just love variegated yarn.)

My own creativity comes into play with the edging on this piece.  I did not write down the pattern for this one, but I will include a very rough account of it below.

This is Julie with her afghan after she received it today. Sorry it was late for your birthday!
