Rav ID: Crizzy
Some Great Designs: Crizzy's Rav Designer Page
This week's designer first caught my eye because of the beautifully bold way she uses colour and shape.
See for yourself in these three designs:
Her most recent design is Lady Liberty (pictured). Scarves/shawls are one of Crizzy's strengths, and this design is a great example of how she creates incredible dynamism using yarn colour and shape. I especially love how the unusual shape drapes in unexpected ways. Just scroll through the pattern photos on the Rav page.
Second, I wanted to show you another of her scarf/shawl designs, New York Beauty. Totally beauty! Look at how fantastically she's utilized a self-striping yarn to create undulating shape in an otherwise simple accessory.
Finally, here's a great display of her design sensibility directed at socks. These might be some of the most interesting socks I've ever seen: Venetian Joker shows that trademark use of shape and colour that Crizzy is so good at. Just check out those cuffs! It even comes with 7 pages of photo tutorials, and bottom up as well as top down instructions. Rad!

Wow Teresa. That's pretty wild. Some knitters are so incredibly creative. And bold. Very inspiring.
Fabulous garment, just wish I could do something close to that!
That's some fantastic work right there. tinyplasticmeat on Rav
