Cape, Shawl, Crochet Lace, Purple
I crocheted this shawl in plum and lilac with variations on antique lace patterns. The result is a thick, warm, chunky lace cape with fantastic drape, swing and twirl. I chose the most luxurious yarn from the Mirasol Project in Peru; the Sulka yarns are 60% Merino Wool, 20% Alpaca and 20% Silk. It is just a dream next to your skin. The finishing touch is a heart-shaped clasp in slightly oxidized sterling silver for that perfectly elegant modern-meets-antique look. There are more than 20 hours of my loving attention in this gorgeous shawl. This is a truly amazing handmade piece in a stunning yarn that will be a joy for you to wear and heirloom to pass down to generations. 26" ( 66 cm) around the neck from one side of the clasp to the other. 15.5" (39.4 cm) from the clasp to the bottom of the front 31" (78.7 cm) from the back of the neck down the center to the bottom 160" (406.4 cm) around the entire bottom Hand wash cold; lay flat to dry. This yarn WILL felt if washed by machine and will shrink if machine dried. Handmade by me in my smoke-free, cat-friendly home. I represent the colors in photos as closely as possible but please be aware that all monitors differ.

I’m a composer working in silk, gemstones, pearls, crystals, precious metals, glass, and yarn. Handmade lampworked glass beads, silk cord, silver charms, bamboo fiber and baby alpaca yarn are the notes in my music. Colors and textures are the melody and harmony. The music I compose is fine jewelry and crochet accessories created with a sense of joy.
Necklaces are often hand knotted silk cord with Swarovski Crystals, Gemstones, Lampwork Glass or Pearls floating in place. Earrings are wire-wrapped, often clusters, that coordinate with necklaces or take the stage solo. Bracelets and anklets are petite versions of necklaces for delicate and delightful descants to the music. The metals making the framework of my jewelry compositions are carefully chosen; Argentium Silver, Sterling Silver or Niobium for what may touch your skin. Accents of silver plated fine-pewter make a few fun appearances.
Crochet accessories are all about color and texture. For it to be close to your skin, on your shoulders or around your neck, it must be soft. But it must also be lovely. The yarns I create with range from baby alpaca, merino, and lambswool to silk, cotton and bamboo, to acrylic, nylon and polyfiber. You must touch the yarns, and you must see them, they are all so beautiful and wonderful.

Dec 19, 2016Sarah was responsive, fast, and knowledgeable. She was able to explain the color variation in pearls and how the freshwater pearls she uses appear as they do. Mini history/ trade lesson. Evidence she cares about the materials she uses. Additionally, she was a professional who obviously understands customer dynamic. I greatly appreciate her work ethic. Thanks Sarah.
