5 out of 5 starsThis scarf is absolutely magical. The yarn is so soft, and the color is perfect. It’s warm but not so much that it could not be worn indoors. The owner of this business also took time to write a personal note to me which was very sweet. The turnaround and ship time was quick as well. Thank you, Celeste! I will be channeling my mother and Stevie each time I wear my scarf!

4 out of 5 starsThe scarf is made beautifully using quality yarn. It is exactly as described and I'm satisfied with my purchase. The only problem is I don't know how to fashion it. I have a lovely lace midi dress that I want to wear with it and I'm not sure of the best way to drape it.

Hi Dolores! Thank you for your high rating of my purple and black "Sweater Scarf." I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying the quality of my design! There are several example photos in the listing images with ideas on how to style my work. If you are looking for more ideas, you might try an internet search for How to wear a long scarf (or similar search terms). Thanks again and ROCK on! Celeste (Crickets)

5 out of 5 starsI am exceeding happy with the most beautiful green scarf from Crickets Creations. I love any color of green and Celeste has combined the perfect colors to make a vibrant and gorgeous scarf. I received it quickly within a few days of ordering. Celeste does beautiful work and she is beautiful and a dream to work with. Thank you very much.

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely beautiful, soft and lovely color combination. Different from the other shawl and scarves I have because it has red tones. Cricket never, ever disappoints and she ships FAST!

A batch of hand knit goodness ready to go out (I ship every day that the post office will let me)!
It all started with love and encouragement...
...from my soulmate husband, Nicky! He taught me to be myself and to share my joy with others. :) My designs with yarn are all about leaving behind self-censorship and embracing color and texture in giddy combinations.
And now I can say that I'm a DESIGNER FOR STEVIE NICKS (this is huge to me!!): https://www.etsy.com/listing/38768379/winner-stevie-nicks-shawl-contest
We share our southwestern life with our beloved animal family. In 2013 we bought an unfinished mini-mansion and I turned what was blue-printed to be a gigantic home theater into my yarn room and studio instead; I'm in heaven having all of my fun-time design toys in one room!
~~~~~
The short of it is that I started out at http://www.etsy.com/shop/CricketsCreations making fashion scarves, where I love to meet new people, make friends and play with custom color combos (special orders fuel my creative fire)!
Then customer requests led me to offer baby and maternity props here at http://www.etsy.com/shop/BabyBirdz for heirloom quality portrait props.
And then I went hog-wild and starting offering large blankets for home decor and photo sessions at http://www.etsy.com/shop/CricketsHome (you guessed it.... uninhibited color, my signature stitch and texturally lush fringe are my hallmarks!)
You can read more about my kooky, freedom-of-expression-for-all philosophy in this Quit Your Day Job interview between Etsy and I: https://blog.etsy.com/en/2011/quit-your-day-job-cricketscreations/
Can't wait to hear more about YOU, please write me here on etsy!
Designing for you,
Celeste (Crickets)

Custom and personalized orders
I maintain a collection of hundreds of yarns for a varied palette of colors & textures; each new project is an adventure & custom orders are welcomed (over 1/3 of the items I sell on Etsy are custom orders, so you'll be in good company)!
I love special requests! Please let me know about the perfect knit you've been dreaming of to see if I can make it just for you!
Note: All customizations (color, length, warmth, etc) will be in my own, signature style and stitches. If you're looking for something that I don't specialize in, then I will happily refer you to another etsy artist. :)
I begin work on custom orders once purchase is completed.
Sizing details
Most of my items are stretchy, especially widthwise. If my knits are hung for storage, they will eventually become longer and thinner. If you would like to preserve the initial width more easily, then please store by folding or laying flat on a horizontal surface.
Because of the flexible quality of my hand knits, all measurements are approximate.
Care instructions
For all of your CricketsKnits hand knit purchases:
Spot hand wash as needed in a sink using warm water and liquid soap of any kind.
Rinse under the tap and then lay flat to air dry.
Please no machine washers or dryers unless specifically indicated for a particular item's description.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To better maintain initial sizing, store folded or flat on a horizontal surface (drawer or shelf).
To lengthen and make more narrow, fold and hang left dangling. Gravity will change the shape over time
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some of my special yarns will catch if exposed to certain surfaces such as unfinished, rough wood or Velcro.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pls contact me if a stitch gets pulled out of place and is a dangling loop.
Wholesale availability
I have been working with buyers for gift and fashion boutiques as well as artisan galleries since 2007.
