shell stitch cowl

I hope you have enjoy the first couple days of March 2014! I have.
I finished this infinity scarf for my mom this weekend. I had the majority of a skein of Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn left over from a previous project & thought it would make a good cowl for my mama. She is hot natured, so I thought an open stitch would work best for her.
This is a photo from my phone I posted to my instagram on Saturday

These are photos I took with my "real" camera.


It was very overcast when I took these photos early this morning, so I apologize for the poor lighting. Also, the scarf would had looked better if I could of had it hanging, but I had no one to wear it when I took this photo. I need a pretty cloths hanger or a dress form to use when taking photos of scarves and such. *sign* Oh well, maybe some day.
I used this crochet shell stitch graph from Lion Brand as a guideline & adjusted it a little by using one double crochet or a chain 3 on the ends of each row to square it off.
Maybe I can get a better photo of this cowl some other day.
I am going to make some more cowls like this in different colors with some of my extra yarn. This is an easy project so I thought it would be a good idea to make a few more and have ready to sell in the fall.
I know I would like to make a tutorial entry someday, & maybe this stitch would be an easy one for my to explain in a tutorial post. Do any of you have an opinion? I would love to hear it.

Y'all have fun today!
God bless!

cross stitch cowl






 I finished my cowl the other day. When I awoke this morning I was happy to feel enough chill in the air that would justify wearing it today.
I used Vanna's choice Dusty Green acrylic yarn. I really happy with how this yarn worked with the crossed double crochet stitch.









Enjoy the Fall season!
God bless you,

Double crochet cross stitch

I have started what I think will be a cowl. I have some left over Vanna's Choice, and was looking through my patterns and stitches books and have decided to go with this double crochet cross stitch.



This was taken quickly with my phone, so apologies for the poor quality.
I'll be taken some better photos with my camera.

I hope you are having a blessed day!
