Forgot to take progress pictures for #wipwednesday , that's why you get a crappy 5am-before-leaving-for-work picture.
This pattern is a pure variation of SC stitches. I can't work too long on it because quite honestly, SC stitches bore me, that's why I am normally drawn to the complex lacy patterns. Nevertheless... the braiding for this one is very cleverly constructed. I'm using my Cthulu Advent 2024 Krakenyarns handdyed yarn and it's really wonderful.

Pattern: Chocomania by Elena Fedotova

Let's go back to what I like to crochet most. Shawls in colorful gradients and lacy designs. This was one of my early works back in 2020.

Before we dive into more hats, let's do #wipwednesday . I have a few WIPs going, but I'm rather intruiged with that one. LOTS of bobbles in many variations, so much structure. It's going to be spectacular. :-)

Pattern: Lucky moments by Julita Janicka (I adore her designs!)
Yarn: 3ply cotton/polyacryl blend from a Bobbelscheune Adventcalendar

Here's another pattern I made several times from when I was a beginner to more advanced. It was also the first pattern I actually bought. In the beginning it was important to me that the patterns I used were free, as I really needed to learn and get a feeling for them. Nowadays I'm happy to pay for a well written pattern or chart. (in fact, I prefer charts now) In any case, this one being the first pattern I bought holds a special place in my heart and I should really make it again. :-)
The second picture shows a close up of the intricate pattern.

One more shawl made with beautiful hand-dyed Indie Yarn. I'm a sucker for CJ Brady's designs, she has the perfect one-skein patterns for those special skeins.

Pattern: Just Breathe by CJ Brady
Yarn: Kickstarter 2023 #make100skeins by Vicki Brown Designs; was skein 9/100

Lets visit some more projects made from hand dyed yarn. For me, it's always so much harder to find a suitable project in crochet for those beautiful Indie Yarns. They are usually also not as flamboyant as my preferred gradient-projects. But that's ok, I need the variety. This is the Meraki Shawl. The Designer added this description:
Meraki •Greek• may-rah-kee
(n.) when you put something of yourself into your work by adding soul, creativity and love
I love this!

Pattern: Meraki by CJ Brady
Yarn: from a local artisan, The Craft Room Gundeliyarn

During my crochet journey so far, I eventually came across those beautiful handdyed hanks of yarn. Every once in a while I cave and buy one, eventhough I then find it very hard to find a worthy project for those special yarns.

Pattern: Flora Shawl by Carmen Heffernan
Yarn: One of the #make100skeins Kickstarter Campaign unique skeins by Vicki Brown Designs 2021, No. 12/100

I think this was one of the first half circle shawls I attempted. And the one I kept for myself and which gets a lot of wear. (especially since I learned a couple of wrapping techniques). It's very soft and drapeable.

Pattern: SisLove Half Circle by SisHomemade
Yarn: Hobbii Twister in colour Nordic Winter

This is the kind of shawl I love creating. The color gradient, the structure, the pattern... It's maximum soothing to me and simply makes me happy.

Pattern: PuErhTea Shawl by Red Teapot Atelier
Yarn: Hobbii Twister Summer in colour Surfing

Memento Mori - Remember Death (or depending on which translation you prefer; Remember that you will die). And if you read the "Crescent City" series by Sarah J. Maas, you will remember this as well. I'm currently listening to the Audio Books again, seemed fitting to show this shawl.
One of my favourite shawls and one of the few I kept for myself and wear regularily.
Pattern: Memento Mori Shawl by Melody Martinez (Jarta Jasmine Design)
Yarn: from a Bobbelscheune Advent Calendar (navy/purple)

Another shawl I made several times, because I liked the pattern. It's always fascinating how different they look in various yarns.
Pattern: Edlothia by MorbenDesign (Jasmin Räsänen), free on Ravelry and other platforms
Yarns used:
Top: Hobbii Black Friday Cotton Cake, color 07
Bottom right: Wollbonbon Merino 4fädig, color "Himmel und Erde"
Bottom left: Hobbii Twister, color "Sunset"

I like to re-visit patterns, to make them again in different colors, yarns and with different skill-levels.
The first one was the bottom left one, when I was just an adventurous beginner - and I struggled! Bottom right was the second one, about half a year later when I was a bit more experienced, already going better. And the top one in blue was another half year later when I considered myself advanced.

Pattern: Flower Valley Shawl by SisHomemade (free Ravelry Download)
Yarns: all three were made with different Hobbii Twister Cakes, at least two of them were from second choice bags.
