Anyhoo, this week I can show you my finished prayer shawl:
I think it came out very nicely, and I finished it just in time, since I can't face having something big and hot on my lap when the weather tops 90 around here. The pattern can be found here if you are interested!
I also made a cute little something this week:
I think this heart is just adorable! I learned a new stitch too, the edge of the heart is done in Crab Stitch, also known as Reverse Single Crochet. It's not a hard stitch, although it feels kind of awkward at first, and mine definitely is not consistent all the way around. I watched a couple of videos on Youtube to help me get the hang of it, just search for "crab stitch crochet". The motif is part of the Teen Throw free pattern on the Caron Yarns website, and it's designed by Andee Graves who is an absolute sweetheart! She has a wonderful blog too, you can visit her here.
Tomorrow is my Wire and Bead Crochet class--can't wait! Maybe I'll have something awesome to show you next Friday. Have a great weekend! And check out more Finished Objects at FO Friday over at Tami's Amis.

I love that heart, so cute!
That heart is so lovely. Really cute. Crab stitch feels so counter intuitive, but it works brilliantly as an edging for knitted garments.
Beautiful shawl and heart! How fun!
Can't wait to see how your wire and bead class go. Enjoy the weekend!

I love reverse single crochet. It tends to look good even if it's not consistent, hee hee!
