Well, I haven't been here in a while...

Well, I know I said I was going to post some new patterns after my wedding last year, but things didn't quite turn out as planned. I haven't been crocheting much since then and I haven't even rally looked at writing up my patterns in a while. But now I'm back, for good hopefully. I have a couple of new patterns coming up. One I will post on here for free, but the other will be available only through Ravelry.

The former is my Shelly Mile-a-Minute Scarf. I meant to have that pattern up months ago, but I lost track of the work and forgot about it for a while. The latter is a new Tarot bag pattern I wrote up a couple of nights ago. It's nice, done in rounds with a flap and button closure. Pics of both are below.


I have also been playing around with some other patterns. One is my Wheel of the Year Shawl. I'm using a variation of a pattern of another square to make one that has eight spokes to represent the eight holidays of the Pagan year. I only have a few squares done so far.


Also, one thing I would like to share from my wedding last June is the beautiful afghan I crocheted. Here is a picture:



And a picture of it at the wedding reception:



I think that's all for now. I'll be sure to be back here later to update some more. Until then, adios!
