Crocheted Lady Kokeshi Dolls
The real traditional Kokeshi dolls feature oversized heads, are armless and legless, and are carved in Japan. They were vintage tourist gifts, brought home from hot springs visits. Various areas developed particular styles and characteristics within the genre.
I saw some of the wood originals that resembled elegant ladies. This pattern is inspired by them.
The pattern includes instructions for two sizes of dolls, several hair/wig styles and several obi (wrap/sash) styles. The smaller doll is about 6.5 inches using the hook and yarn size prescribed.

I love the outfit on the cover
A set I just completed at the end of Feb. 2013 and I've already worn it often because the colors work well with jeans and the colors I tend to wear.
I love the luster and drape and am watching to see how this thread holds up to wear.
I used a high-gloss, high-twist, many-plied vintage rayon thread. I'd love to test it side by side with a comparable pure silk. (See my Crochet Inspirations newsletter issue #47 for more on this). The necklace is shown doubled next to the bracelet (from "Sweet Almonds Jewelry Set").
This is one of the Potato the Squirrels I designed for Halloween. I'm selling the actual doll and also sell the pattern incase you'd like to make your own!

My little corner of the world was in need of a flowery pick-me-up, so I pulled out my fleur galore pattern, and went to work. I pinned these flower brooches, and shoe clips, to just about anything I could get my hands on!!! Maybe someone should stop me before the boys get home, or they might be next!

I made some cute cake couches for my Blythes!!!
They are inspired in a shortcake and a chocolate cake each, and have cute cookies as backs! =)
I made Anela the Hula Girl in 2009. Found this month these photos which I never shared and put them online :)
These friendship bracelets are crocheted with silk (dark gray) and rayon (light gray) yarns. The silk is a single ply -- almost like raffia -- and was a gift from Prudence Mapstone. The rayon is firmly plied with a z-twist (yay!) and is called "Rayon 5 Wt" from Swallow Hill in Canada.
Special bead-like stitch: Clones Knot, a historic Irish crochet lace stitch. (Please see issue #46 of Vashti's Crochet Inspirations Newsletter -- direct link at my Flickr profile page.)
It just happens sometimes. The stitch wraps don't settle in neatly. (See center pink knot and center silver one.)
In addition, the blue and silver one doesn't straighten on its own and doesn't block. It's metallic embroidery floss.
These 100% fiber cords have no weight from beads to straighten them. As bracelets, they have no pendant to straighten them out either.
