I’ve known Crystal since she was 5, so as an “honorary Grandma”, I just had to make something special for her new baby girl.

My Peacock shawl made from possum merino yarn

I decided to call this the Peacock shawl as “possum yarn” shawl doesn’t sound as nice!

Such gorgeous colors!

I named this one Strawberries & Cream.

I like to say my creations & gifts are “Theresa hugs” immortalized in yarn. All my love & good wishes are in each stitch.

My basket of projects on one of my rugs. (And Wesley who is my crochet partner).

This is a very large, lush wrap invented and created on cold late winter evenings.

I created a stitch pattern of my own for this one.

I’m very pleased with how this made up pattern turned out!

Variegated yarns can be contrary, but I love how this one came together.

The yarn was named Harbor Mist and the description fits perfectly!

Mourning Shawl (a modified virus shawl)

Mourning Shawl

Gorgeous colors! I can’t decide if this pattern reminds me more of owl eyes, or the eye portion of a peacock feather….

This a giant shawl – and the yarn is so very soft. Wrapping yourself in it is a comforting hug in moody, melancholy colors. This is a shawl to think and dream in….
