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.

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.

2015 Finished Projects Review

This is done with blues, browns and gray shades of Red Heart and Hobby Lobby faux mohair.  This More than Half Round shawl is an XL... and I truly do want to keep it.. but...every piece I make is open for negotiations.
I will be adding several photos of Finished pieces that I've crocheted at my crochet blog:

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.

A Faroese style shawl done in Stockinette stich with Paton Alpaca blend.  This is still AVAILABLE for purchase.


I truly do hate Garter stitch for anything more than accent rows, but I had to at least try one piece using it.  This is more of the Patons Alpaca Blend, done in a more than half round shawl.  This is stil AVAILABLE for purchase.

This is an old 'heathers' color of Red Heart acrylic.  The shawl itself is a complete circle, so it will qualify as an XL shawl.  It is still AVAILABLE for purchase.
