In the last two weeks, I've started a couple of projects (both crochet and knitting) and I've completed one of them ... It all started back in Italy, when in a grocery store I found some crochet magazines ... One of them had only patterns from DROPS Design and a shawl caught my attention ( here), but I had to wait to go back to Maputo to start to crochet, as I don't travel, usually, with my yarn stash !!! ;oD Yes, the right yarn was waiting for me in a basket in my studio/dining room in Mozambique ... When back in Africa, just two days from our return, I started to crochet away one of the 21 ( and 7 halves!) motifs needed for my shawl-to-be .... The central motif is given by a simple flower, surrounded by a thick circular frame ... that is included in a square made from chains .... I didn't follow the instructions blindly, as they were telling me to crochet all the motifs first and then sew them together, when the crochet work was done ......
This is my creative outlet and you are welcome to wander around ! xxxx Alessandra
