"All Shawl" for my mom

[mellybelly]

I just completed Doris Chan's All Shawl - and WOW!

It is gorgeous, and its so easy! Its also really versatile - tons of different things you can do with this pattern. I made the 'long version' as written with Comfy yarn in Fedora from Knitpicks. The picture doesn't do the yarn justice - its a deep, chocolatey color.

I just finished it so I haven't blocked it yet...I figured it might help to set the stitches and help the border stand out.

It's supposed to be a Christmas gift for my Mom...I hope I can make myself wait that long to give it to her!

Oh, that is pretty. It's been on my to do list for some time. You've given me more inspiration.

[Roli]

Oh my, that is simply beautiful!

[grandmalolly]

That's so pretty! I'd be tempted to keep it for myself..........

[Debbi-a1]

Very pretty. You did a great job.

[CraftyZone]

That is so beuatiful I love your shawl I just got her book recently and going to try some of her patterns. Thank you for sharing.

[Startigerlily]

Incredibly gorgeous! I don't blame you a bit for wanting to keep it.

Thanks for the kind words, everybody! I am attempting to hide it from myself in one of my dresser drawers until I'm ready to block it, closer to Christmas time. Out of sight, out of mind...not so much. I'm a little afraid that if I DO manage to leave it there and not wear it myself, I'll forget where it is come Christmas! I'm not proud to admit it, but I have found things I've stashed away like that...usually a couple years later.

WOW!! is certainly the right word for it. Your mom will love it!

[Julexia]

Your shawl is lovely! Great job!

[dobermama]

Oh, WOW! Can I be your mom? Seriously, that is one gorgeous shawl. Excellent job and I'm sure she will love it!

[crazyboutcrochet]

Oh my! That is just beautiful. Do you need a second mom?

[breeze530]

Wow! You did a terrific job & I love the color! I think yours' is my all time favorite "All Shawl" so far. It looks like it's already blocked because of how flat it lays & the border looks perfect.

 

I looked up the Comfy yarn & how nice that it's even machine washable/dryable. How did you like working with it? Did you use the worsted? From the pic it looks like a lace weight. Just stunning!!! You mom is gonna adore it.

Yet another to add to my ravelry queue!

[LondonLaura]

Wow! That's stunning, lucky mum! You've created something beautiful

[my2bois]

I just layed out that pattern yesterday on the top of my "to do" pile!! I really, really want to get it started now!! I want to try the short version and see how it turns out. I hope 1/2 as good as yours. It is BEAUTIFUL!!!
