This is a triangular shawl done is Tunisian Crochet lace. It was a project to learn how to decrease and is started at the long end of the shawl. That way each row is shorter!

Mother/Daughter Challenge

My daughter and I decided to challenge each other to help us keep trying new things. Karen http://karenlynnebeads.blogspot.com/2013/07/mom-daughter-challenge-1.html  did the first challenge to use a color and stitch we normally don't use.

I was trying some Tunsian Crochet and a new stitch called a puff stitch and decided to use pink-a color I don't care for.  It really was a challenge. First I tried to do the second row in the wrong place but didn't realize it until the scarf was 8 inches long and very biased. Then I kept repeating the rows in the wrong order. Finally, it clicked and the scarf is done. Repetition does help in learning. Now I need to find someone to give it too. I don't wear pink.

More crochet motifs painted with Dynaflow. These are the last until I crochet more. I also need to use some of them. Here they are drying on a rack I found at Goodwill.

Crochet

At night if I'm tired of knitting or between projects, I crochet flowers to paint for the crazy quilt pieces. I leave the ends to put to the back of whatever I apply them to. On the red ones instead of using white thread, I used a variegated pink to see what would happen. Some are painted with Colorhue, some with Jo Sonia dyes, and some with Dynaflow. Sorry I can't tell you which. Once they are done and heat set, I can't tell--or remember.

Thanks to everyone who comments.
