Shawl We Crochet? - CAL

[Hookin Catluvr]

Found this simple shawl pattern on the Lion Brand site.  It's a V-stitch pattern.  Think I might try this next..

I started the Picot Flower shawl last night, and here is what I have so far....not sure if I like it, it might just be my choice of yarn and color...looks more like  Picot clover...

I am using up the yarn I already have available, rather than buy new...this is Bernat Satin Jade.

 I like that one... I love the colour too .

I like that and I find V-st goes  so quickly

Me too, I'll have to check and see if I have enough of one color to make it...don't want to buy new yarn until I have used up what I have...then I can and my husband can't give me dirty looks..

[Hookin Catluvr]

Darlene, I know what you mean about the husband and dirty looks. I have one of those, too.

[darlenecoover]

Done! I'm not real crazy about this pattern, my Mom liked it so I gave it to her, but that's not saying much she likes everything...

The model is my 91 year old mother.

Darlene, your mom looks very pleased to have it. You can dislike the pattern all you want if it makes someone else that happy!!

[darski]

I love that one.  bestest model ever too.

I am finally posting the pic of my Dixie Charm shawl. 

 

for some reason the point keeps dressing left - or right- and I don't know why.

 

 

the jury is still out on the colour.  Sometimes I love it and sometimes not

I finished my Daylight Tweedy Shawl tonight. I'll post pictures tomorrow. It is a simple v-stitch pattern quick finish, I completed it in 2 days. My next project will be Simply Shawl by caron.

[darski]

I look forward to your tweedy shawl.  The Simply shawl was a fave of mine.  I worked it from the centre to both ends but it was such a pretty thing

 

 

 

this went to the daughter of a dear friend when she was dealing w/ breast cancer

Darski, your Simply Shawl is beautiful!

 

The tweedy shawl is made from LB Heartland yarn.  It is very soft and nice to work with.

 

I needed a quick and easy project after the ripple afghan.

The Royal Shawl is available for free for a limited time.  Hurry on over to get it :

 

  it is quite pretty but might be more for some enchanted evening than for my seasoned citizens.

that is so pretty - great colour and much like an LBD... goes anywhere at any time

Thanks for the link to the Royal Shawl Pattern, another for my to do list.

I have to confess    that I got tired of 2 of the patterns I was working: 

 

Branching out was going to be too big for wheelchair use as I was using a hefty WW yarn and a 6.5mm hook so it got the "special Treatment"  I added white to accent the bottom and used a white flower for fun.

 

 

 

The Harlequin was getting too demanding to follow the pattern and I rather like it as a shawlette.  I might end up keeping it for spring and fall warmth.

 

 

the "expanding shells" pattern from the 280 shell stitches book -#80  is finally done.  It will be pretty enough to be enjoyed but I think I made a mistake in using the bit of white.  it is doubled over in the full pic.  it is a pretty pattern and went quickly enough once you get the rhythm of it.

i love all three of them, I'll have to get that book and try some of the patterns. I made a second Branching Out using Simply Soft and a G hook and it made up much smaller. I think I took a picture of it, I'll have to find it and post it.

[Hookin Catluvr]

I think they all are lovely. I love the colors.

[babypoohsmom]

Wow Darski, you have been so busy. I like all of them. I always find myself blowing up the pictures to ooh and aah over the details.

I want to share the stroller set I made using the clover stitches from that LB shawl

 

Strawberries in Clover stroller set

 

I could see using that/those stitches in lots of stuff.

[babypoohsmom]

Oh my gosh Darski. That set is so darn cute!!

I wish you were my next door neighbor so I could learn "at your knee" as they say.

Is that set a gift??

No, I give most of the baby sets to a friend who has many baby showers in a year.  She is dealing with Alzheimers in her husband and is hard put to meet her budget.

[babypoohsmom]

Well that's nice. You get to make fun sets and she has less stress when she gets invited to a shower. A win-win for sure.

I am working on my first ever round baby blanket. The center was a bit challenging, I actually had to read the instructions out loud to talk myself through it, but now I am on the outer part and it's easy going until I get to the scalloped edge.

Most of my friends are starting on grandkids, not kids. I started this blanket in blue yarn and I know of two girls on the way, so I guess I blew that!! If this one works out, I will hunt down some yarn more appropriate for a girl.

 

The wheelchair shawl is still a WIP. I noticed a mistake in it, but I was pretty consistent with the mistake, so I think it will be ok. Depends on how specific the border is going to be. I am not clever enough to tell by just reading that part of the pattern if I am going to be able to work around it. If not, I will just try to invent a different border I guess. Maybe I can get a picture up tomorrow.

I just got this link on FB for the "Love Triangle Shawl".  I'm not sure how much warmth it will provide but it sure is purty

And a gorgeous new one from Kim Guzman:  Emerald Fling Lace Wrap. 

 

this one is def a 'wonderful evening' sort of wrap
