This and that--

Was trying to get organized for the Hopkins Spring Festival, so haven't been as busy. 

Made a couple of neckpieces from some more yospun yarn, this a wonderful soft purple/blue with ribbons--

 
A boa--the loops ended up wonderfully twisty. 


And a turtle/cowl with scallops around the upper edge. 

 Also a thin stockingette scarf with loop and long fringe. 


 An alternating stockingette stitch fall colored scarf, also yospun--


 A kimono scrap hat, this on a larger hook. 


 And another kimono scrap hat, double crochet with brim, in wonderful apricot.

 And a single crochet kimono scrap cap, black and white but only a little re(a)d.

A doily hat, in Colinette cotton ribbon, with some cocoons.




A doily hat, in sari yarn, sold at the fair to a lady with white hair--the colors looked wonderful against it. 


A sari scarf, even more multi than many, very long and thin--







A scarf made of composite yarns put together from the vintage tangle I bought--


An all in one necklace from thick sari yarn--

  An all in one necklace from silk Colinette, very bright--

 A fringed necklace with a button--



And finally a tall gnome from yarn from beckylicious--
