Crochet cocoon

Margaret’s cocoon was a huge success at the show and tell on Monday . So successful it was hard to get a clear photo of Marina, who was modelling it , because she just couldn’t keep still and wanted to twirl and move her arms. Marjorie was there draping and styling it . Margaret hadn’t decided as yet whether to leave it as a blanket in which you could cocoon or to sew the sides and make sleeves. Marjorie was holding it so Margaret could see the different effects if you were to sew any parts of it and Marina was just loving it. It drapes and hugs you. The colours are just so attractive and all these home spun wool bits have been crocheted to make an item which is so original. The stitch Margaret has used has improved the draping quality of the cocoon. This is special because of the colours and the texture and the fact that Margaret knows where very bit of that spun fleece comes from.
