I caught this addiction from my sister, Meredith. I blame her. She’s an enabler. Mer did a post about this wonderful crochet pattern that she’d discovered through another blogger. It’s called Queen Anne’s Lace. She urged me to check it out. I did, and I’m hooked. This is an easy pattern – it works up quickly. And if you use a self-striping yarn, like this Mochi Plus by Crystal Palace – oh, how pretty it is.
This one’s for me. Not because I’m selfish or anything (well, maybe a tad) but because I needed a prototype, if you will. I’m also going to try it in a chunkier yarn. I think a chunky yarn would make a warmer, heavy-duty scarf for the winter. This one is the kind I could wear all the time – inside or out. By the way, I found the pattern here.
It sure makes a difference having Letitia around to model my creations. She does it well, don’t you think?
I know of a couple of young ladies who would look adorable in one of these – perhaps for Christmas? Between these and the afghan, I’ve become crocheting-obsessed. And I love this yarn, which I found at my (drum roll) new neighborhood yarn store! It’s in an old barn. I’ve already been there twice. I’m going to take some photos there and post about it later this week.
Scout has a comment on all this endless ‘creating.’
I hear you, Princess Scout, I hear you.
Don’t forget to read my book review of Mrs. Kennedy. Just scroll down one post. I’m giving away a copy of this wonderful book to one lucky commenter. You must comment on that post and you have until Wednesday.
Letitia is doing a fine job modeling your scarf which is gorgeous. ♥O
Your scarf is so beautiful. Those colors and that pattern is so gorgeous! I admire those who can crochet and knit so much. It’s one of those skills that I just could never seem to master. My squares always turned into triangles!
Hugs,
Jill
PS: Miss Scout~ are you sassy-mouthing your mama?? That’s okay. You’re so cute, we’ll let you get away with it for now :)
Christmas gifts! It is perfect with that yarn.
A friday’s favorite for sure!… I’m linking you up so I can find it again.
Thanks bunches~~~~~
Letitia looks stunning as always. Scout looks beautiful as always. That’s a pretty yarn.

And I LOVE Scout’s
reaction. She is
adorable!

Ewwwwwww….La,La…..
Aren’t they the most addictive thing ever. 3 down and a few more to go. So, glad to see you are enjoying some time with a hook and skein. Great colors.
Now, I’m seriously going to have to get one of those vintage displays.
Toodles,

Hi Claudia,
I went to the White Barn Farm. Have you been? I love the scarf!!! Taking orders? I want one. I started knitting on Sun. Wish me luck! Hugs, Liz
That is yummy looking. I love yarn and the feel of it but I don’t crochet or knit. Tried it; can’t do it. Oh, sugar, I have a post coming up soon dedicated to you. I think you’ll enjoy the eye candy. ;-)
xoxo,
Connie
Hooray!!!! You did it. I told you that you would become obsessed. You did a great job, the colors are beautiful. I have finished number 6, and am off to the yarn store tomorrow to get some more yarn for more scarves.
XO,
Mere
I love the color of the yarn!! Nicely done and aren’t you glad she found that pattern?
Di
Oh my gosh Claudia!! I LOVE that scarf! The yarn colors and the pattern are gorgeous!!
Are you taking orders? What are the chances I could pay you to make one for me?
Hugs!
Claudia, that scarf is gorgeous! I don’t know how to crochet but boy, this pattern makes me want to learn how. Thanks for sharing, have a great week, Nan
Scout is so adorable!
I love (really love) the scarf you made. The colors are perfect! I do adore a good crochet pattern, but it looks tricky. I will go check it out.
You did a fabulous job on yours.
Hugs,
Terri
Letitia looks lovely in your new scarf. This pattern is familiar to me as my Grandma crocheted it years ago. Happy crocheting…
Oh how lovely! I am so happy you have a new love! Your model is awesome , but I have a feeling you should talk to her about the bad eating habits of models ;)
Hugs, Lisa
I just returned home yesterday after spending a week with my son and family. Wonderful to find you had visited while I was away. I don’t crochet, but the Queen Anne’s Lace pattern is gorgeous! And you have the perfect model. While away I stayed off the computer and it was a wonderful break, but now it’s hard to get back in the groove. ♥
Love this pattern!!! I really adore the yarn you chose for this one….I was thinking of angora, fuzzy and white!!!
Thanks for sharing the pattern, tell your sister she has started a craze!!!!
Hugs,
Margaret B
Claudia, I love your crochet work, the choice of colors and texture is absolutely beautiful. I too crochet but not lately…I have only worked with crochet cotton and walmart yarn…..this yarn is lovely!! And it does look wonderful on your model! Very pretty scarf! I cannot wait to see pictures of the yarn sharp in the barn. Have fun creating.
Sherry
Oh, Claudia, I LOVE THIS!!!!… and queen anne’s lace is my favorite weed :-)
If you ever have one to sell, in this array of color and weight of yarn, ..let me know! It’s perfect.
Claudia,
That pattern is wonderful. I can’t believe your sister goes to A Good Yarn. It is my favorite shop and is about 5 minutes from my home. I go there a lot.
Now I am off to see if I can find that pattern!
Carol
*That* is simply gorgeous…the pattern, the colors, the style! I used to crochet years ago, but alas, I don’t have the time to play with yarn in this season of life. I shall live vicariously thru you :)
Claudia…I have saved this lovely pattern to my favorites….it’s a must try! Love the lazy look. Letita never looked lovelier! I also just posted a comment on the previous post! Thanks!
Beautiful! I am about to become obsessed as well!!
Lots of love,
Susan and Bentley
xxoo
Hi Claudia,
I love the scarf! and the yarn is very pretty..I think I shall borrow your pattern and make a few quick scarfs for gifts this year..very lovely indeed…
Have a sweet day and hugs, Elizabeth
I really want to learn to crochet, if only to make some pretty scarves. Your scarf pattern reminds me of vintage tatting on a larger scale. Lovely!
I think your scarf is simply beautiful.

OH CLAUDIA, I LOVE THIS SCARF. IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE A SHELL STITCH. I WOULD LOVE TO MAKE THIS, YOURS IS JUST BEAUTIFUL. RIZZI
your scarf is beautiful. love the colors. sounds like you are having fun. i knit lots and lots.

Love your scarf, Claudia~ the colors are lovely and so is the pattern!
Hi Claudia! Scout looks so cute. I want one of these scarves. I am going to put my Nana on it straight away! It’s beautiful!
Oh what a pretty pattern that is! I am almost inspired to learn to crochet. With the 85 degrees temps here yesterday, I’m glad I didn’t see this until today since the temps will only go to 65 today. NOW, I can start feeling in the holiday mood! Have a great week, Claudia. Ann
I, too, love this pattern! They are quite addictive. I haven’t made one in a varigated yarn yet, but after seeing your’s I must! I became very obsessed with crochet this past year also. I have a yarn obsession:) Have a fun day! Twyla
Hi Claudia, I just had to tell you how beautiful your scarf is, I saw it the other day and was busy and I just had to let you know how beautiful it is. You should really sell these beautiful scarfs, I know lots of ladies (including me) who would buy one. Your work is just beautiful. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs, Terri
Gorgeous scarf. Learning to crochet was officially on my to do list. But I’m guessing this is not a beginner’s project?
