Can't Believe I Didn't Post This Before Vacation

Maven's Celtic Knot Granny, Prototype 1
Pattern listed in my projects section on Ravelry

I finished up this granny prior to my vacation two weeks ago, however was remiss in posting it here (though I did post it in my projects section on Ravelry). The pattern went through a few edits, and if you want to test it out for me, or offer up an edit, let me know via Ravelry.

I love Celtic Knots, macrame, Oriental style frog making, and lace tatting-- or I should be more specific, I love the appearance and might want to learn these crafts.

Not sure if I have it in me to attempt too many other things, so I try to adapt what I want to accomplish with the skills and smarts I have within crochet. And to be honest? I don't think the husband has it in him to withstand/tolerate one more obsession of mine. My den/spare bedroom/crafting studio/office is OUT OF CONTROL as it is.

Perhaps I should photoblog the monstrosity the room has become as of late. PERHAPS!

Isn't it lovely?

I hope to study this and try to craft a crocheted celtic shamrock for my study in Celtic knots rendered in crochet, inspired by this piece of lovely tatt work. I love the whole "deconstruction" I do in mapping out each thing I attempt, and once I've figured it out, I'm off to the next thing to decipher.

I've even been fascinated by Noreen Crone-Findlay's Woven Spool Knit Heart (hint! hint! for those wondering what to get me, for you know, any gifty-type situation), which is in keeping with my affinity for Celtic Knots. And right now, I'm putting Celtic Knotwork Handbook (Paperback) by Shelia Sturrock on my Amazon wishlist.

Stay tuned...
