Name a new pattern give-away!

I need your help in naming my new i-phone case pattern. It would be so nice if you left a comment with your suggestion for a name.
I will pick one of the comments with a random number generator. The winner will receive 3 balls of Rowan Handknit Cotton, in the three colors I used for the case!
I will announce a winner by Friday 04/26/13 at 10 p.m eastern standard time.
Happy naming!

Filet Crochet

Today, I am sharing a couple pictures of a project I have been working on for the last few days. It is a filet crochet top that I plan to wear over a tank top.





I am using Elizabeth Lavold's Silky Wool.
A luscious yarn, a simple, addictive stitch... I am in crochet heaven.

New i-phone crochet case

Here is the latest i-phone case I crocheted. The case uses single crochet through the back loop only in the round.




I had fun with the overlay stitch design.




 I am very fond of the colors and the design. A touch 60's.




All I have to do now is write the pattern for you.




I love projects that are finished in the blink of an eye!

Another Blink of an Eye Project

I have another quick project in mind, a " blink of an eye" project, another phone case with an edge.
I plan on using more left over cotton yarns, this time Rowan Handknit Cotton, in cream, orange and sage green.

More in this later!

Shabby I-phone Case Free Crochet Pattern

Remember a few days ago, I told you about an inspirational little design on an envelope, and how I had gathered remnants of yarn to make a little mother's day gift. Well, here it is, the Shabby I-phone case.  It is full of shabby, vintage charm. The best part is that it is such a quick project. You will have a finished gift in the blink of an eye using only left over yarn! I am offering the pattern as a free Ravelry Download. Click the link to download directly to your computer.




The case fits a standard i-phone, and other phones similar in size. The case is crocheted in the round, in a spiral, with only one seam at the bottom.





The flowers are crocheted individually and secured to the case.




Very basic embroidery adds the final touch. Enjoy!

In our Hearts

My thoughts go to the victims of yesterday's attack on the Boston marathon, and their families.
