Fall shawl #4: blue reef shawl

So, I finally made another scarf. This one is my very first complete freeform scarf. I didn't used a pattern or what so ever. I just started crocheting some scrumbles: circles, a spiral, a hyperbolic structure. Then i crocheted them together and added some fringes on one side, these are fringes with curls or curllicues on the ends.

I actually was inspired by structures you can find undersea: not only color, but also form and texture.

Here are some close up pictures:

And some pictures of me wearing it. It's very hard to take pictures of yourself though.. :-)



Fall Shawl #3: Juicy Scarf

It took me a week to finally finish the third shawl. Again, this scarf is based on an ethnicdesign pattern. For the color scheme, I got my inspiration from kuler.adobe.com. I picked the color scheme "Beetle Bus goes Jamba Juice" (hence the name of the scarf). I picked out yarns from my stash that matched the scheme and started crocheting.

I used 15 different yarns for this scarf. It is 160cm long and 50cm wide (without fringes). Below are some more pictures.

Fall Shawl #1: Ocean Shawl

Yeeeey, I finished the first shawl for my Fall Shawl collection. I named it "Ocean Shawl" because the colors and  motifs remind me of the ocean.

I only used yarn I already had on hand for this project. I digged into my yarn baskets and picket out all the blues and greens I could find. I used a total of 30 different yarns, most of them were just acrylic worsted weight yarns. However, I also used some novelty yarns which give the shawl a nice texture.

I made this shawl based on an ethnicdesign pattern I purchased on Etsy. It's build up from a basic striped shawl with fringes and then some freeform spirals are added. Here are some pictures I took during the making of this shawl.

This is how the shawl looks like now it's finished. The shawl measures 120 cm long, 58 cm wide and has a weight of 270 grams.
