Valerie Baber Designs

I have been working on my Fall and Winter Designs over the past month and getting some of the ideas out of my head.  Here is another one of my new designs for Fall, the Ruffle Lace Collar Scarf.  These are done in Malabrigo Hand painted Rios Yarn.  A lovely worsted weight with amazing colours.

I wanted to design a nice light collar that could be left as is and showcase the hand painted yarns or be embellished in the future with wonderful inspirations.  Added the flowing ruffles to each piece so they would go with my Water Way theme this fall and I could tweak the design to suite a more eclectic feel for some of my other embellishments.  Crocheting is a great way to add sculptured waves, curves and texture to a design.  I will be embellishing these bases soon, but they are also available in their classic version as shown for a smaller price tag.

You can view more on my Etsy site at www.intricateknits.etsy.com… I am off to be inspired with the embellishing of these designs.  The colours are screaming out various directions I should take. http://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/160134895/ruffle-lace-collar-scarf-in-hand-painted?ref=shop_home_active
