FREE FORM CROCHET |
|
|
|
|
| I started Free Form Crochet after having many dreams of being a painter. I have not taken up painting with paint yet but chose to start my paintings with a hook and yarn. When I feel like creating art without a pattern this is what I work on. It is quite enjoyable because there is no right or wrong. | |
| If you have any questions about freeform crochet feel free to email me. I would enjoy chatting with you about the love of this art.

Free form crochet and knit shawl, made from 100% wool. Most of the yarn I spun and dyed.
The newspaper was taped together to form a very basic pattern for me to lay out my individual pieces.

One color yarn free form scrumble challenge!! A challenge was proposed in a group I belong to to make a scrumble from one color of yarn. It was a challenge and I loved it. The mustard color I worked with is one of my favorites. Does this look like a fish to you??
Free form Hat ..... Each row is a different colored yarn and different weights.
The above hat was made using wool needlepoint yarn that I bought at a thrift store. It was already cut into 2 foot pieces. I tied the pieces together randomly and then free form crocheted this hat.
Ugly yarns were exchanged in a group I belong too and this is what I came up with, Isnt it amazing? Ugly can become beautiful!
This Pillow below is made in colors that I don't like. Red pink and all the colors in between! I enjoyed making this but cant wait to get back to my earth tones :)
This is one side of the pillow.
The other side of the pillow. It measures about 12 inches long by 9 inches high.
An amulet bag made for my mom for Mother's Day.
An Amulet bag that I made from yarn that I received from a very gracious overseas friend. There are small beads crocheted into the handle.
This necklace and pin are made with size 4 DMC thread, I also used wire and beads in this piece. The pin has straight bullions and the necklace has bent bullions.
Below is a pattern that I designed, The bag is very easy to make and there are only three different scrumbles ( small free form pieces) used on the outside of the bag. The reason why the scrumbles look so different is because I used all different weights of yarn but the same size hook. The green vines are made on an I-cord knitter or a knitting knobby. Here is some info how you use this item. http://www.caron-net.com/mar00files/mar00kid.html

My finished wall hanging, now in my kitchen.
wall hanging #2, working hard on this one and it is coming along great, I never knew I had so much green and blue yarn in my yarn stash. This will be rectangle and be held up by a large stick and will have fringe hanging off the bottom.
latest scrumble, will become a pillow or a purse, I haven't decided yet.
freeform flat doll, hangs on wall and is like a guardian angel :-) Will be making an assortment of these to hang in my girls rooms.
