Captain Hook

More yarny fun!

I made a short sleeved white cardigan for my mom.

"Romantic Bolero" by Doris Chan for Lion Brand Yarns

My mom sent me the above picture of her in the cardigan, and some pictures of my 90-year young aunt.  So, I was inspired to make my aunt a cardigan – which I call her “Easter egg cardigan” as the colors remind me of spring.

Jellybean seemed to like the yarn I used for aunt Esther’s cardigan a LOT.  (She kept trying to nap on it.)  So, I made her a little bed with the yarn I had left over.

I  continue to play with jewelry, and made another necklace.

 I was inspired by some Mei Mei bamboo yarn in #034, and the “Cloverleaf Top” pattern by Mary Jane Hall (from her awesome book, “Positively Crochet!”), and started thinking of a field of poppies…

and created my “field of poppies” top:

I loved my first “emume bolero” so much, I made a second one.  This time it’s cropped and in cotton.

Last, but most DEFINITELY not least… I finished my Molly Ringwald pretty in pink dress!  I’ve been wanting to make this ever since I saw the pattern.  I’ve made two other dresses by Lily Chin, and I adore her patterns.  (Psst… that’s an inexpensive Target knit chemise I’m wearing underneath for a liner.  I don’t sew and I’m too cheap to have the dress lined professionally and I hate those body-shaping slips, and the chemises are cheaper and I can get them in fun colors!)

Lily Chin has a stole pattern to match, but I’m not much of a stole or shawl person – so I made a little coordinating shrug.  It uses the same lace pattern as for the skirt of the Molly Ringwald dress.
