Chevron Infinity Scarf

Astri over at Apple Blossom Dreams is total inspiration when it comes to crochet.  She makes the most fabulous things, with the prettiest color combinations ever.  I am always in awe of her talent.

One of the things I like best about her blog is that she takes the time to post great pictures and tutorials, especially for those of us who are crochet challenged.  Like me! 

In December Astri shared a tutorial for a chevron infinity scarf that I fell in love with.  I had never even tried a ripple pattern, but her photos were so clear and her tutorial was so well written that I was inspired to give it a try.

I crochet very slowly and it took me almost a month, but here it is....

 

If you'd like the link to her tutorial, here it is.

 

 

Thank you Astri for all your help and encouragement.  Go check out her blog and be inspired!



Apple Blossom Dreams

If you like to crochet, then you've got to go over and visit Apple Blossom Dreams, where Liz creates some of the most gorgeous items.   Everything she makes explodes with color and inspires me to try new things.

A couple of weeks ago Liz had a fun contest.  She was looking for a name for her trusty scooter.  And guess what?  I was the "Name that scooter" winner!  I came up with the name Blossom.

My prize was this awesome hat that Liz made, one of her crocheted flowers and a bag of skittles... Doesn't the hat look exactly like a bunch of skittles?

Please go over and visit Apple Blossom Dreams and take the time to browse through her blog.  I guarantee that you'll find lots of beautiful items like pillows, blankets, scarves and my personal favorite - her Granny Rose crochet-along.  One of these days I'm going to tackle that project, but I'm just not ready yet.

Thanks again for the fun hat Liz!
