Back to crochet

Oh crochet, how I missed you.  I find knitting such a palaver that crochet seems easy in comparison.  I'm still trying to finish the capelet I started, I made a practise version using doubleknit just so I could clearly see the stitches and then I started the real one in mohair.  It's almost finished, I just need to sew in the ends and make the ties with pom poms. 


Practise version made in doubleknit so I could see the stitches.  I had to make changes to the pattern for the real version as the neck was too wide and the drop on the shoulders wasn't long enough.

Almost finished version in mohair, I'm really happy with it, I just need to finish it now.
