I used the leftover yarn I had from my www.FolkTale.Etsy.com purchase - It wasn't long enough to make a neck warmer, so I had to improvise with what I had laying around! Not bad, if I do say so myself!

Also features a little red wooden bead and a crocheted flower!

I'm not going to try and rewrite this pattern. I found it in Donna Kooler's Encyclopedia of Crochet. Page 142. It's called the Solid Shell Stitch. My starting CH was 12 + 1.

I love how the shells separate the colors and you can really see the pattern forming within the colors! (c;

Now, I have no more beautiful yarn - need to buy some more! (c;

My vacation is over - back to work on Monday. Can you hear me crying???

Vintage Plastic Flower Goody-Ness

I just love vintage plastic flower things! This is just part of my collection! I occassionally make jewelry out them, but I don't really like to part with the pieces. Crazy me! I think I 'd just prefer to stare at them all day long. HA!
