About FreshStitches

The idea for FreshStitches began in 2008 when crochet designer, Stacey Trock, noticed a distinct lack of patterns for big and cuddly stuffed animals. A handful of adorable designs later- FreshStitches was born! Since then, FreshStitches patterns have become legendary for their cuteness, detailed instructions and step-by-step photos. Using the abundance of help and information in the patterns, numerous crocheters have crocheted a FreshStitches animal as their first crochet project! ...more

FO Friday: Buttercup and Pineapple Doily Shawl!

I have some very exciting finished objects to show off!

Pineapple Doily Shawl

I talked about the mini-crocheting disaster I had with this shawl on my podcast, but I’m happy to report that I’ve finished my pineapple shawl!

The pattern is available as a Ravelry download. Don’t you love it? I haven’t gotten the chance to take fancy photos yet… but I hope you can see enough of the fab stitch pattern!

Buttercup

This week, I finished knitting my buttercup:

It’s a shop sample for my LYS, and it’s knit with Lang Seta Tweed, a silk and cotton blend yarn. It was really yummy to work with… and this pattern is adorable! I think I’m going to make another for myself.

A blue owl

I also crocheted a blue owl:

He’s my newest sample… modeling off my new colorway of owl kits! So much fun!

This weekend, I’m visiting Santa Cruz and San Francisco… I’m hoping to get lots of knitting/crocheting done to show off to you on WIP Wednesday!

Thanks for stopping by and reading! If you want to see more great finished items… make sure to visit Tami’s Amis blog, the organizer of this great FO Friday theme!

I hope you have an awesome and craft-filled weekend!

  2. I love the pineapple shawl. Have fun in San Francisco (one of my favorite places – I haven’t been to Santa Cruz, but have fun there, too!).

    The pineapple shawl is gorgeous. It makes me itch to try some more thread crochet…

    And I love the buttercup, the neckline is fantastic.
