A coworker asked me to make 2 kerchiefs for her, a lighter cotton one and a warmer winter one. She told me the shape she wanted and I designed them.

This one is done with Plymouth Baby Alpaca in bulky weight. The main body is a sc/dc seed stitch and the center is a six stitch cable.

This one is done in cotton, all single crochet with a repeating interlocking circle pattern.

Very nicely done. Can you get co-worker to model them?

I will remind her to get photos. I try to take photos of the people wearing the things I made, but I forgot the camera that day.

I love that when I open the page the top photo looks almost...lewd.

ooooh Disorderly Crochet! Indecent public hooking.

Hardcore? Hardcore is for babies. I'm HOOKCORE!

yes that top one looks ... ummm... multifunctional? .... maybe you could work it up as a pattern for a garment-of-many-uses. You'd definitely want a series of models.

The cotton one is a beautiful design; how did you make the colors?! is it tapestry crochet?

I bet I could get David to model that!

it's just tapestry crochet. I loved making it, so calming to switch back and forth on the colors.
