JFlah's Blunders

Been crocheting a lot of gifts lately and I think it's probably time for me to put away my hooks. This was a house warming present for a co-worker's family. I hope they enjoy it.

I'm typically in search of people who like to wear handmade items, especially crochet and knitted items. This is a project I did recently for one of those stylish people.   These are for a person who always makes me smile. She said her favorite colors are blue and green so I went to Walmart and found some pretty yarn. Had to use a tiny crochet hook since the gauge of the yarn was tiny, but the final pieces turned out great. I hope she loves them even half as much as I enjoyed making them for her. Here's a link to the pattern I used for the "neck warmer" one pictured here with the buttons and the pendant. Here's a link to the pattern used for the infinity scarf.

My birthday is coming up next month and how better to celebrate than to sponsor my very first giveaway? I know I don't have many... er, "any" followers, but it would be fun to start doing this on a more regular basis if the response is good.   I've been making things from free patterns all winter so I have lots of them sitting around - probably more items than I may ever wear. One of them is a beautiful picot cowl from a pattern I found at Cre8tion Crochet (probably through pintrest ) and some great off-white chunky lion brand yarn. I've included three photographs. Would've taken a photo of someone wearing it but no one was around when I had access to a camera. Enter the Giveaway! Entries accepted from March 1-March 31 from residents of the continental United Sates. Winning entry will be chosen at midnight on March 31. Estimated retail value of Picot Cowl: $50 (+shipping)
