Ordering and Contact Information

I am still alive. I'm still struggling each day to stay that way. Some days are more challenging than others, but some days I actually get to leave the house.

I am blessed to have the knitting and crochet, because they keep my busy and distracted from discomfort, and at the end of a day, I don't feel so useless, because I made 'this piece' of stitching.

If you are interested in purchasing any of these shawls, or discussing a special order.. you can always find me easiest on Facebook.

Email is: angela at chezcrochet dot com... however...email is the most unreliable means of communication. Most of the emails I send either return Blocked or they end up in your spam file.

You can try email, but Facebook is the better way, at this time... to reach me.

Goodness, It's been 2 years...

I am still alive.  I'm still struggling each day to stay that way.  Some days are more challenging than others, but some days I actually get to leave the house.

I am blessed to have the knitting and crochet, because they keep my busy and distracted from discomfort, and at the end of a day, I don't feel so useless, because I made 'this piece' of stitching.

I made the time today, to add the photos of things I finished over the last two years.

This is made from the Aslan Trends 100% alapaca lace weight yarn.  Since I don't have a flash camera, the color is NOT what you see in this photo.  Check this photo for a more accurate color swatch. http://arnies-knitting-knook.blogspot.com/2015/07/2014-finished-objects-review_2.html

2014 Finished Objects Review

Lace fichu done in Caron's Spa yarn.  This was SOLD last year.

Made from Wisdom Yarn Sonnet, this is a wool silk blend in a variety of denim blues.  This SOLD recently.

I have an awful photo of the Projects I made early in the year of 2014, but most of them are represented in other photos... but 3 shawls sold before I could get decent photos of them.

2014 Finished Objects Review

100% Alpaca lace weight yarn from Aslan Trends.  It was a full circle lace fichu and it recently SOLD.

Made from Cotton/Cashmiere combo from Louisa Harding, I started this as my Easter shawl for 2013, but gave it away as a birthday gift. GONE.

This shoulder capelet is made from one skien of Lion Brand Homespun; I was experimenting with cables.  The first time I showed this, it SOLD.

2014 Review of Finished Projects

A lace fichu in Wisdom Yarn Fresco- 100% Cotton [#10 size] in a variegated orange, burgundy and brown.  This one is SOLD.

One of my first Faroese Style Shawls.  This was done in Lion Brand Homespun, and it sold the very first time I showed it.  SOLD.

More of the dirt cheap acrylic from Big Lots.  I donated this lace fichu to Fort Chadbourne for their Auction.  DONATED.

2014 Finished Object Review

This was an XL Half Round lace shawl I made for me, for Easter.  It's from the Caron yarn that is merino wool combined with microfiber... Spa or Country and I can never remember which is which.  However, I didn't like the way it fit me, so I SOLD it.

This is a 3/4 Round cape made in Garter Stitch and short rows.  Done in a Red Heart Acrylic, it is XL, heavy and very warm.  This is still AVAILABLE for purchase.

Another experiment with garter stitch short rows, this includes ties to make a Cross Over for historical outfits... if you don't mind the Red Heart Acrylic yarn.  This is still AVAILABLE for purchase.
