#chainlink2018

This is Michele Powell of Corvallis, Oregon, in her market booth at the #chainlink2018 conference in Portland last week. I had to take her picture because of her Frostyflakes shawlette! (Tap photo for link to the pattern.) I asked her if she knew who designed it LOL. Her artsy & ingenious shawl "pins" attach with a small, very strong magnet. They make great gifts! . #CGOA2018 #crochetshawl #c2cscarf #trianglescarf #marketbooth #shawlpin (at Portland International Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmHijLHHCUl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lvdikmmw1qyg

Compare the love knots on the left with the ones on the right. Both have been blocked. The one on the left is a typical way to crochet love knots. Several simple tweaks give the result on the right. The "21st Century Love Knot Adventures" class explains all of this.

Sure do love me some Cordonnet Special crochet thread. Nothing else like it. (Testing some elements of the Flowerfall pattern.) . . #threadcrochet #cordonnetspecial #crochetsolomonknots #crochetclass #chainlink2018 #designingvashti #vashticrochet
