Flowers Galore Stole



I finally finished this stole for the stole swap.

It was kinda late in getting to my swap partner, terrijo. I sprained my hands from crocheting/taking care of the house and hearts/life and I was unable to do much with my hands for days at a time.

I hope you like your stole, Terri!

I used Lion Brand's Microspun in Periwinkle (I think) and a size 7 Tulip Japanese Crochet Hook.

The floral design I used can be found in the first issue of BHG's simply Creative Crochet. It was used to make a skirt.

Here's the close-up of the pattern stitch.

Hey Sheila!

Yeah, after taking it real easy and not trying to finish anything in a mad dash like I did for the Easter outfits, my hands are back to 100% again.

Now it's time to make summer stuff before the season is over! LOL!
