I love capelets.

[BluesForCP]

Hi, I'm new here and I thought I'd skip starting a new thread about who I am, and just post pics of my stuff...

I'm a high school math teacher and have have spent the last month of my two month vacation CROCHETING. Every day. For hours. The first week I got a cramp in my right index finger I never thought would go away.

This was adapted from Interweave Knits Crochet issue "Salon Capelet," made in this glorious Debblie Bliss "Soho- Reds" yarn.

And this is adapted from a kid's pattern in "Too Cute Crochet," by Cynthia Preston in an old nylon ribbon yarn from Grandma's old stash.

Okay for starters, is that you in that picture because you look like you're in H.S. not a H.S. teacher (and I mean that as a compliment). Secondly your work is gorgeous. And thirdly, welcome to crochetville from a fellow New York city girl.

[Karen C.]

Those capelets are indeed beautiful! Makes me want to make one :cheer

[dennymare]

Mary

[Kevspepper]

They're both really nice. I love the pink one! What kind of button/brooch/thingy does the pink one have in the front?

[Etaria]

both are just gorgeou.s what yarn did you use in the second picture? the rosey kind of color? it is beautiful!

[BluesForCP]

Y'all are so nice. Thanks for the warm welcome.

I have been out of the country for a while, and one of the first things on my to-do list was to come back to the forum!

Kevspeper, that brooch I purchased in the garment district of NYC for a couple of bucks. It's a beaded flower, much simpler than it looks on the photo.

[CorinneM]

Just love the capelets. And the colors.

[quirkyvirgo]

Those both look great. I love the Debbie Bliss shade!
