Hello & welcome to my online scarf & Fringie™ photo prop boutique; I'm glad you're here!

My name is Celeste (Crickets is my nickname). I am very blessed; my fulltime career and sole source of income is designing & crafting unique, handmade fiber art from vintage & novelty yarns. I create my own and my customers' ideas without guidance from patterns and each piece is a Crickets original!

My scarf is pictured in the January 2009 issue of Vegetarian Times: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_list_20&listing_id=8730384

Yippee--Better Homes & Gardens chose my Special Dark Chocolate Mint scarf ( http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=21930278 ) for a magazine photo shoot!

I maintain a large collection of hundreds of yarns so I’ll have a varied palette of colors & textures; each new project is an adventure & custom orders are welcome!

If you're wondering why I use only soft, cruelty free, designer, vintage or novelty yarns (vegan) with no potentially allergenic or irritating wool/animal fibers, here's a little more info: http://www.savethesheep.com/f-veganknitting.asp (I also prefer non-animal fibers because my customers don't have to worry about moths or odors).

Here's what one of my customers wrote me after choosing two of my scarves:

“I LOVE my scarves! You know…I noticed something else about them beyond their obvious beauty. I wore one of mine during a six hour car trip and it felt like someone was giving me a gentle hug around the neck the whole time. It was so soft and comforting that I didn’t want to take it off. It was such a comfort…almost like a security blanket. It’s beyond attire…it’s got an energy.”

When I'm not designing,creating and knitting, I enjoy gardening, Bikram yoga & advocating for homeless pets. See ya 'round, I'm looking forward to learning more about YOU!
