This mesh top looks great thrown over a cami. It is made, top-down, in the round, with raglan shoulders and shaped body. Made small, it will be tight and fitted.

This shawl is similar to the Kelp Forest Shawlette but it is a half-circle, not a circle. Starting from the neck, the rows are made by crocheting the thin edge into the wide edge.

This spiral afghan is made in Tunisian crochet in knit style. It features a spiral with increasing band width, like a shell. Note that one ball of yarn had a different pattern of variegation and led to a bold look to one arc. This afghan works well as a sofa throw or sit-upon because it is thick and heavy.

This sweater is immediately recognized as Doc Hudson by CARS fans. The main color areas are worked from a chart, then the eyes and other details are added with chain stitch embroidery. The size can be modified by adding rows and columns to the chart.
