striped neck cowls

INTRODUCING:

Striped Neck Cowls

colorful, unique & easy to wear, these cowls add plenty to a simple outfit!

I have been busy, busy lately creating these unique pieces, gearing up for Fall & Winter!

 The cowl above is the double neck cowl. Wear it long, or double it up, it's cute either way.

And that's also a new color, Barley, that is a nice brown with flecks of cream.

 

 These two cowls are the full neck cowls. They are so easy to throw on over a long sleeve tee for instant style anyone can wear.

FULL neck cowls....

 I created a new neck cowl this week...I think I'm going to call it the "Full" cowl. This one is wider than the single & double neck cowls I've made before, and is an in-between length. It is warm, cozy & completely easy to throw on over a tee  or with a coat during those up-and-coming cooler months!
Available in tons of colors...this is my new favorite project to crochet right now...

I appologize for the blurry photos...I don't know what happened!

custom crochet cowls & flowers...

A few more crocheted neck cowls this week for a custom order for a friend near LA. This sweet lady had bought a bunch of stuff around Christmastime, wore it, and now wanted to buy a few for her friends. It was fun to get to have the freedom to create a few shawls and flowers to go with them in whatever colors I chose. The flowers are removable of course, so they can be worn on or off the cowl, or on hats, etc. Such a soft way to stay cozy & stylish...

charcoal shawls

A few new shawls made this past week for a mama and her sweet little  3 year old. She requested that the shawls be matching, so they are just slightly different sizes. I made the clips in coordinating colors, but made sure they were all different colors/shapes so they would be able to unclip them off of the cowls and put them on beanies, in their hair etc. I love the bright colors in contrast to the charcoal cowls.

Many more projects to come...been creating plenty lately, thus the reason for so few posts lately!
