- Variegated summer pullover
[8/24/2002] Summer pullover done in a now-discontinued variegated Luster Sheen. Pattern Source: April 1995 issue of Crochet Fantasy. Their phone number is (800) 877-5527 if you'd like to call and see if they sell the back issue; you can also visit their website. In fact, it's the exact same pattern as the blue top shown elsewhere in this album. - Summer pullover (purple)
See previous photo for pattern source; it's the same pattern as the green summer pullover. - Summer pullover (green)
Pattern Source: Crochet Home magazine, issue #57. I do not know if back issues are available. Address listed in the magazine is 23 Old Pecan Road, Big Sandy, TX 75755. - Shaded blue nylon pullover (detail)
See previous photo for description and pattern source. - Shaded blue nylon pullover
[9/28/2003] This was a result of my desire to experiment with the shading technique where you start with 3 strands of one color and then switch them one at a time to create a gradual color change. I used nylon thread and only two strands, so the change isn't as gradual as it could be, but it came out pretty nice. Pattern Source: The pattern is from a book called Today's Crochet: Sweaters from the Crochet Guild of America, by Susan Huxley, but I tweaked it here and there because of the difference in materials and the color changes. - Pineapple pullover (close-up)
See previous photo for description and pattern source. - Pineapple pullover
[6/11/2002] I decided I really wanted to use some of the tons of white Luster Sheen that I bought when I thought I was going to make my wedding dress out of it. I wanted to make a short-sleeved top with an open, lacy pattern; though I found lots of possibilities, none of them really excited me. The one I found that I liked was actually a long-sleeved top made of size-10 thread, with a flat (straight across) neckline, so as you can see below, I adapted it to work with the thicker Luster Sheen and made it short-sleeved and V-necked. The result came out quite nice; below is a picture of the whole top, as well as a close-up of the pineapple pattern. Pattern Source: The original pattern is from Crochet Fantasy #111, November 1996. To check if they have the back-issue available for purchase, call (800)877-5527 or visit their website. I did not write down directions for my changes; however, once I figured out that the basic pattern requires a starting chain of a multiple of 23 stitches plus 4, it was easy to adapt as the pattern is very repetitive. - Men's Homespun turtleneck sweater
Pattern Source: The pattern came from Lion; it's called "The Big Easy Crochet Sweater" and it's available for free on Lion's website. - Men's Aran sweater (front)
