This is the 8th day of A Tour through Crochet Country, and we’re going to visit Andrea Graciarena and LeAnna Lyons.

Andrea Graciarena is a crochet and knitwear designer with a B.A. in Fashion Design. Among other things, she has designed an array of stunning shawls, wraps, shrugs, and boleros. In December 2012, she self-published her first e-book, Tunisian LACE Crochet: Shaped Shawls. Her designs have also been published by yarn companies and in magazines.
Andrea’s Florencia Lace Shawlette is lacy, open, and sure to attract compliments!

The Anna Shell Shoulderette is elegant and cute at the same time! It’s mostly crocheted, with a knitted neckline. I would be willing to pick up my knitting needles for this pattern… and that’s something I almost never do!

She knows German and French and refers to herself as the Eccentric Haus Frau. She is a new Associate Professional in the Crochet Guild of America.
So adorable! Good Luck, Good Fortune Frog is available in LeAnna’s Store on Lulu.com.

My son loves paper snowflakes, so I know a bit about them, and this motif, Romancing the Paper Snowflake, is definitely a winner! It’s available for free on Crochetville.

I usually crochet in my living room or when I am on vacation where ever that happens to be. I also take a small project with me to a waiting room just in case I have time.
Love the shawlette.
Where do I usually crochet? Let me see…the couch, my bed, my desk at work (shhh…don’t tell my boss), the dining room table (NOT while eating), the car, meetings, softball and soccer games, and anywhere else I can sneak it in!
On the living room couch and in the car – only when someone else is driving 🙂
I usually crochet in my special chair (surrounded by bags with WIP) . but I do have a take along bag so I can work on squares or scarves where ever I will be in a waiting mode 🙂
My favorite spot is my living room sofa. But I also take my crocheting with me to work on during my lunch break and in the waiting room if I have any appointments. I also like to crochet on road trips if someone else is driving.
I usually crochet in my family room in my rocking chair. But this month I have been crocheting in other places.
In the living room!(In the summer…on the porch!)
oh goodness as I think about this question, ” What places do you usually crochet (living room couch, coffee shop, etc.)?” I had to think, it does begin on the sofa, then the car, then the camper and even in bed… but my favorite place is the living room sofa. But the amazing times in my car crocheting while my teenagers practice their driving skills was a great way to calm this zany Momma’s nerves. Memories I will cherish forever!!!
