A Whole Mess of New Pieces

Edge of Winter Scarf | Webster Fiber Arts
| Annie

Hi folks,

I’ve added several new pieces to my Etsy shop over the past week or so. Let’s take a look!

First up is the Edge of Winter Scarf:

Edge of Winter is a long, striped scarf that I crocheted with Lion Brand Landscapes yarn. I love this yarn so, so much. I like the fall-ish brown, green, gold, and maroon in this yarn. The light blue and purple shades remind me that winter is on the way. You can see more photos and purchase this scarf here.

Another piece with a wintery feel is the Frosted Shawl:

The blues, browns, greens, and purples in this yarn are accented with little tufts of white throughout, which I think gives the fiber a frosted look. This is a wide shawl that doesn’t sit too far down on the back. This shawl is available in my Etsy shop.

Globes of Color is a vibrant, jewel-toned rainbow cowl:

This is a thick piece with a bit of heft. I like how the gold bobbles pop on this piece. See more pictures and purchase this one here.

The Gold & Gray Infinity Scarf is next:

I crocheted this one with a stitch that gives it a knit look, then added a loopy little edging. I like the diagonal stripe of gray in this yarn. This piece is available in my Etsy shop.

Finally, I have The Best Spread Cowl:

The yarn for this cowl is some that I had left over after making Mike a big Jabba the Hutt amigurumi earlier in the year, though this cowl doesn’t resemble Jabba much at all. This one is also available in my Etsy shop.

Until next time,

Two New Pieces: The Light Side and the Dark Side of Gray

Light Side of Gray Cowl | Webster Fiber Arts

Hi folks,

So, that whole “I’m starting to feel lousy” thing from last week? It was a cold. An energy sucking, head congesting, feeling gross cold. I do feel better now, though I am still doing a little coughing and sniffling.

And now comes the catching up. I have a couple of new pieces to show you today. I used yarn that I hand-dyed for both of these cowls. Both are a mottled gray, teal, and purple kettle dyed yarns, but I used different amounts of dye to get different intensities of color.

First is the Light Side of Gray Cowl:

This is a short cowl that I worked in an open, airy stitch, but the yarn is a bulky, wool roving. You can see more photos and purchase the Light Side of Gray Cowl in my Etsy shop.

The second piece is longer and darker. This is the Dark Side of Gray Cowl:

I used a variety of stitches in this one. I love how the little flecks of teal pop out against the dark gray and purple. You can see more photos of this one and purchase it in my Etsy shop.

Until next time,
Annie

New Piece: Mushroom Cap Cowl

Mushroom Cap Cowl | Webster Fiber Arts
| Annie

Hi folks,

Waaaaa! I am starting to feel lousy. My throat is a little sore. I have been tired the past few days—perhaps I have been trying to fight a cold. It seems like that cold is winning. Booooo! And not the spooky ghost boo from yesterday’s Halloween festivities. It is an “I am dissatisfied” boo. And, yes, I am dissatisfied. Boooooo!

I am, however, satisfied with this cowl. In fact, I really like it. This is the Mushroom Cap Cowl:

I love the earthy colors in the yarn. This colorway is called “Mushroom.” I added some bobbles to my piece to give it some texture, and, with mushrooms already on my brain, I decided these little bumps were the mushroom caps. Yay!

Until next time,

Thinking about the Ocean

Waiting on Waves Wrap | Webster Fiber Arts
| Annie

Hi folks,

I ended up with both a textile design and a crochet piece that are blue-green and reminiscent of the sea. You get to see both of them right here!

Waiting on Waves is a big crocheted piece made of acrylic and nylon yarn that is nice and soft. I love these colors and the coziness of this super scarf.

Waiting on Waves is available in my Etsy shop. You can see more photos there, too!

Beautiful Briny Sea is a surface pattern design that is based on a drawing in my sketchbook. You can read more about it at Annie C Designs.

Until next time,
Annie

New piece: Campfire Stripe Wrap

Hi folks,

I have a big, cozy wrap to share with you today. This is the Campfire Stripe Wrap:

I used some of the remaining hand dyed yarn from my New Horizons Wrap to make this piece. Instead of going all in with the multi-colored yarn, I went with just a few rows of the hand dyed yarn and crocheted the rest in winter white. Like New Horizons, Campfire Stripe is a big wrap, and it has nice, long fringe.

See more photos and purchase Campfire Stripe in my Etsy shop.

Until next time,

Two New Handmade Pieces

Forest Flutter Scarf | Webster Fiber Arts
| Annie

Hi folks,

I have two new pieces for you today! The first is this scarf, called Forest Flutter:

Forest Flutter Handmade Scarf | Webster Fiber Arts | Etsy

I got this yarn because I thought it was called “Ozark Forest.” I spent my youth in the Ozarks, so it seemed like it was meant to be. When the yarn arrived, I discovered it was called “Ozarka Forest.” Not quite the same, but still a very pretty, earthy yarn. I crocheted lots of ruffles and frills into this one to make it full and fluffy.

My other piece is the Recovery Shawl:

Recovery Handmade Shawl | Webster Fiber Arts | Etsy

I love the colors in this yarn. It reminds me of the couch my grandparents had when I was little, though this yarn is much more vibrant and pretty. I worked on this one while my mom was recovering from knee replacement surgery this summer, which is where the name comes from.

Both pieces are available in my Etsy shop.

Until next time,
Annie

New Piece: Pumpkin Spice Cowl

Pumpkin Spice Cowl | Webster Fiber Arts
| Annie

Hi folks,

Oooooh, it is getting chilly here. We are supposed to have our first frost tonight here in Kansas City, which means I have a day of moving house plants inside ahead of me. We don’t use our dining room as a dining room. We use it as a place to keep our houseplants about half of the year. Unfortunately, we had some rain last night, so all of the plants are going to be nice and wet for their trip inside.

I have a new cowl to share with you today, one that is perfect for this kind of weather. This is the Pumpkin Spice Cowl:

Pumpkin Spice Handmade Cowl | Webster Fiber Arts | Etsy

Aren’t these colors wonderful? The pumpkin-y oranges, the squash-y golds, the nutmeg-y tans—they are all rich and wonderful. This is a lightweight yarn, so this cowl will provide more color than warmth, but if you are like me and get hot easily, this one is about perfect.

See more photos and purchase this cowl on Etsy.

Until next time,
Annie

New Piece: Rainbow Blues Scarf

Rainbow Blues Scarf | Webster Fiber Arts
| Annie

Hi folks,

I have another piece that uses yarn I got on my field trip to Columbia this spring. This is the Rainbow Blues Scarf:

Rainbow Blues Handmade Scarf | Webster Fiber Arts | Etsy

I love the rainbow of colors in this wool yarn. It isn’t a traditional rainbow, but it hits most of the high points—red is replaced with pink, and there’s no green. Blue is dominant in this yarn, and I think it is just lovely.

See more photos and purchase this scarf on Etsy.

Until next time,
Annie
