Shawls I made for the Swap

[mama24boyz]

I have been wanting to make the Blue Curacoa (sp?) shalw forever!! So when the shawl swap came up I thought it was a perfect excuse for me to buy the book!!!! I made it in a pretty teal colour (one of my partners faves) with a white border. I also made her the Belize wrap from Caron. com I think. Heres some pics. Thanks for looking!!! OH!!! I have to add, they both look pretty difficult to make but BOTH of them were actually fairly easy!!

Oh wow how beautiful. Your partner has great taste in colors.

[contrary.crocheter]

wow!! both of those are amazing! I really wanted to participate in this swap but just couldn't at this time so I am loving getting a chance to see these! The teal is beautiful and elegant. The spiral design looks like so much fun to wear and enjoy!

Just beautiful! I asked our local library to try and find me a copy of Amazing Lace, but I guess they have not come up with it yet, so I may have to just give in and buy it now that I have seen yours! It is just beautiful!

Beautiful shawls, Melanie!!! I'm especially drawn to the pineapples in teal, but the other is very intriguing! Very well done on both!

[CraftyZone]

I love both of your shawls my favorite is the pineapple one which pattern did you use for that one. Love the edging you used.

Both of them are just beautiful! You do such wonderful work!!!

OMGoodness, I love them BOTH! I have had my eye on the Belize wrap forEVER, but have never gotten around to attempting it! I love that wrap! Was it difficult? I've GOT to make one of those for myself!

They are beautiful. Love the colors. Great Job!

[mama24boyz]

Thanks everyone!!! The teal one is called the Blue Curacoa by Doris Chan. its from the book Amazing Crochet Lace, which i think is totally worth it! It has quite a few really really pretty designs in it. Both shawls were actually very easy to make!! They each only took a couple of days. I did extra motifs on the Belize and I did 2 or 3 (I can't remember) extra repeats on the Blue Curacoa. I have since bought myself some really pretty yarn to make my very own Blue Curacao!!!!
