June

Hello Friends...oh my gosh, I can't believe how fast this month is flying by! I want to share some exciting news that happened over the weekend.

I had an opportunity to go to a Crochet Crowd event at the Toronto Michael's Store, where Mickey and Dan were present to meet a bunch of us local crocheters. They had some Caron Cakes giveaways, and I was fortunate to win the top raffle prize, 10 balls of Caron Cakes! I was so shocked and so very excited and fortunate to win. Check out the beautiful balls and gorgeous colours:

I had recently finished off a beautiful shawl with this yarn and just loved working with it. So thanks again to Michael's, The Crochet Crowd and Yarnspirations for the fantastic haul. Mikey and Dan are just as lovely and witty in person as they are on their FB page. I've got some great charity ideas already in the works for my Caron Cakes!

Caron Cakes Shawl Done

Hello Friends...so I finally finished off the Caron Cakes shawl I started earlier this year. I loved the way it turned out! If you've not worked with Caron Cakes yarn, by Yarnspriations, it's great.  I love this particular colourway, called Cake Pop; the colours transition beautifully.

The pattern, if you're interested, is by Kara, over at Petals to Picots.

Caron Cakes Shawl

Hello Friends...I'm down to the last few rows on my Caron Cakes shawl. I'm really happy with the way it's turned out now that I'm almost finished. I've enjoyed working with the Caron Cakes yarn for this project as well. It's been easy to work with and I quite like the abrupt colour changes (I know some don't care for that). With this project, the yarn looks great. I also have some tassels to attempt before I'm all done.  Stay tuned for photos once it's finished...
