Velvet Ana Lucia Shawl

This velvet shawl was crocheted by Christyl.

Lacy Shawl

This shawl was originally called the “Bridesmaid Shawl,” and is based on a pattern by Michele DuNaier. However, this shawl is a lot more versatile than simply being a bridesmaid shawl, and so I am categorizing it differently to the original pattern creator’s label.

This shawl is of medium weight and is very comfortable. It is also very feminine and lacy. In tones of blue and white, it is very cheerful, but of course, it can be custom made in any color combination.

Purple Dog Sweater with Hood

The Purple Dog Sweater, an original pattern by Christyl, is a variegated purple dog sweater with a black ruffle near the tail, and a black hood with a white, scalloped border.

The sweater is relatively warm – and can be made in a tighter, thicker stitch for short-hair dogs. This item can be adjusted for size and pattern to suit the dog type the sweater is being made for.

Lacy Bumblebee Dog Sweater

The Lacy Bumblebee Dog Sweater, an original pattern by Christyl, is a yellow and black striped dog sweater with yellow ruffles around the arms, a black ruffle near the tail, and a black hood with a yellow ruffle and stuffed antennae.

The sweater is relatively warm – and can be made in a tighter, thicker stitch for short-hair dogs – and grabs a lot of attention when walking the dog at the park. This item can be adjusted for size and pattern to suit the dog type the sweater is being made for.

Celtic Weave Lapghan

The Celtic Weave Lapghan is a small throw blanket that is perfect for just covering the lap. It is crocheted in vibrant contrasting colors of reds and greens, separated by borders in black. The depth and density created by the Celtic Weave stitch ensures a thick, warm blanket. This lapghan cozy and comfortable – perfect for chilly settings.

This blanket has a pleasant weight for winter time, and is perfect for cold days in the car or is just a nice blanket to keep your lap warm while you watch tv in your favorite recliner. Lapghans are small and easily portable. This one folds up relatively small and also looks great draped across the back of a recliner. The colors in green and red make it a great blanket for Christmastime, but the black borders and particular shades of color make it a blanket that you don’t automatically think “Christmas” when you see it – making it a year-round blanket if you choose. This blanket can be made in any color combination you like.
