Unparallel'd

Now boast thee, death,

in thy possession lies a lass unparallel'd*

Defarge Does Shakespeare with hooks.  Once in a while.  Sometimes. 

Today I'm featuring another crochet design from Defarge Does Shakespeare. 

Inspired by one of my very favorite plays, Antony and Cleopatra. 

Unparallel'd, a crocheted and beaded necklace. 

Classy.  Simple.  Elegant. Love the photo. Love the snake, too.

Unparallel'd designed by Beverly Army Williams

Gisela, a cocoknits design.
Habu Cotton Gima yarn.

Still summer, so this will be worn. Will have to be worn with a Zen attitude, however, because of the wonky stitches smack in the middle of the shoulders. I won't showcase them, but they are there. Washing and blocking didn't un-wonk them because they were misplaced in an attempt to fix a problem a few rows down. Wish I could pass them off as a design feature, but unless I doll it up with some odd embroidery or a crochet motif, it just is what it is: a postcard from Flaw City. 

Good thing I live in a town where wearing a clean tee shirt is the equivalent of the Downton Abbey crowd wearing their diamond tiaras.



If you have an interest in this pattern, order the updated seamless version which was released when I was just about finished with this.

Wabi-Sabi WIP

Wabi-sabi, a beauty that is imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete.

Sound just like a WIP. Especially one knit from wildly frisky Cotton Gima, a papery Japanese yarn.

Couldn't leave the wabi-sabi photo in all it's wabi-sabi imperfection, so it went through the digital wash.
