Recent FOs - Crochet Wearables!

Hello, I'm back! Not that I left, just lost my mojo or something...

Now that I picked up my hooks again, I can't stop crocheting ;)

I'm eager to share some of my recently finished projects:

This is a child's mesh cover-up top. I omitted the hood in the pattern (Splash n Fun Cover-up by Jenny King) and also had to make it shorter since I ran out of thread ;)

This turned out smaller than the small size in the pattern, but hopefully would fit a two-year old girl.

A child's shrug I made from my own design. Pattern will be published here soon :)

A mystery shawl/shrug that I made from a friend's pattern. This will be published soon in a magazine :)

Lastly, here's a famous design from a famous designer from several years ago.

Pattern was published in 2004 by Interweave. 

A lace top that was supposed to be a dress. I used up 6 balls of Cannon thread...didn't have enough of that color so I had to finish at row 44 of the skirt. 

More details on these projects can be viewed at my projects pages on Ravelry. Thanks for looking :)
