What a stellar summer it has been. I made my debut at designing garments and the feedback has been amazing.
When I did my vision board on New Years Day I stumbled upon this image and the words Runway Show. "Oh, what at great idea," I thought to myself. Up to now I had focused on hats and scarves etc, accessories really.
So when the spring came I was inspired to create some of the fun bralettes that are so popular right now. Here are some I came up with.
Next I moved on to figuring out some shorts patterns and these were so much fun to do.
Crochet shorts are very popular and the patterns for my Bella B Shorts and the Shell Shorts are actually my best selling patterns.

I also made some Hippy Shorts and I am currently working on the pattern for these fun shorts. I love the colour combos that can be used to make these fun shorts.

I will share the various tops and skirts I designed over the summer in a future blog post.
If you have any comments or questions about my new designs, I would love to hear from you.
Things have been really happening with Carroway Crochet and I am so happy to be back to my blog sharing a video I created for my new Carroway Crochet YouTube channel.
The Circle in A Square Mug Rug/Coaster
I just love colour and having something small to make is sometimes a good thing, something that you can make quickly and get the pleasure of seeing a finished item right away.
SO I had all these lovely colours in bulky yarn and I thought this would be a fun idea.
I just love the colour pops and must admit I got a bit addicted to making them. I have taken some to the market and they are proving very popular.
Here I have them with this beautiful mug I got when I was visiting my daughter when she spent a year living in Dublin in Ireland. The colours go perfectly.
These are so bright and modern and perfect for gifts and home decor.
There is a free PDF pattern download available in my crochet group on facebook.
