ElizaH Report post Posted April 16, 2011 Hi there! If you, or anyone you know, has made this, I would be very grateful to see photos. I have never done hairpin lace crochet, but I have seen the video of the making of this shawl on youtube. I plan to make it for my sister's wedding in May, and I would also like to know how fast this makes up (pretty fast I gather). Thank in advance!

rebbylicious Report post Posted May 23, 2012 I started doing this pattern but as a hairpin rookie I didn't do anthing to keep the loops strait when I took them off the loom. (I have seen people use a string and run it along the bar before removing the loom) I was frustrated and gave up. I want to go back to try it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HappyOldCro Report post Posted May 24, 2012 As with all crochet patterns, alot depends on your experience using the staple (loom) and crochet speed. It is a lovely shawl....Be sure to let the rest of us know how you do... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elizabeth http://www.redheart.com/free-patterns/womans-hairpin-lace-shawl I haven't made this shawl, but I have done hairpin. Before removing the loops, I usually use something to bunch them together. Large clover clip or even the pins used by knitters to hold cables. Makes it easier when joining them becuase sometimes an errant loop will sneak down in between others. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
