Eighty leaves. That’s about how many my Roses Cape will need. Just thinking of crocheting eighty leaves made my shoulders droop. When I broke the job down to four leaves a day for 20 days, it didn’t seem so bad.
And now, I’m over half-way through!
The Roses Cape is going to be made exclusively from stash, which is why these leaves vary so much. All the leaf yarn is from fellow textile lovers.
Several of the greens are from a lady who colored them in a dyeing workshop–“Take it! My husband will thank you!” she said. I don’t remember her name, but Thank You, Lady!
Others are from a friend I met at the Hallamshire Guild in Sheffield. Thank You, Betty!
Yet others are from a friend I met at the Taos Wool Festival. Thank You, Randi!
Fiber people are truly generous.
