Shawl We Crochet? - CAL

Found another but the pic is not very good for seeing what the Royal Triangle Shawl looks like when it's home.

Finally getting to post my Simply Shawl.  Feels like I finished it eons ago but just haven't had a chance to post.  Pleased with the finished product.

 

 

Also finished a sweater from the Get Squared Program.  it was fun to learn something new.

Pretty shawl, Jill. I love the border! Nice sweater, too. I read about the program and it sounded interesting.

Off topic for this thread, but I really like the Get Squared program.

I love what you have done.  Great sweater.

 

so... what is the "Get Squared" program?

[Hookin Catluvr]

Get Squared is a program by Jenny King where she teaches you to make garments to fit using busy measurement and arm measurement. Here is the post by Amy telling about it: http://www.crochetville.com/community/topic/154394-get-squared-tm-by-jenny-king-cal/

I just got this newsletter from Craftsy.

 

10 Fabulous and free shawl patterns

 

I think you have to be a member at Craftsy to be able to read it.  Some wouldn't work for my charitable purpose but I rather like what I see.

[greyhoundgrandma]

Some pretty ones on the list.

 

When I look through patterns on lists like that, I always wonder why designers/yarn companies don't tell you the weight of the yarn. It's a pet peeve of mine to have to google the yarn to find out the weight or what it's made of.

I ABSOLUTELY agree with this statement.  Drives me nuts

Started on another harlequin shawl yesterday. For some reason I could not get the stitch count right, frogged the whole thing 3 times. Then I decided to leave it alone for awhile and make the Dixie charm instead. Last time I made the harlequin I didn't have any problem at all. Don't know what was going on with it, or me, this time.

Jill. Beautiful projects. You must be very pleased. And I am glad to hear that even a pro gets tripped up by that darn harlequin pattern. Now I don't feel quite as bad.

 

My wheelchair shawl has been resting for far too long. I need to pick it back up. I am bad about getting something started and then getting distracted by something new. Of course nobody else here has that problem, right?

I just discovered this Fortune's Shawlet on Moogly.  Just looked at the pretty pics.

 

[greyhoundgrandma]

Ooh, that is pretty! I have kind of a mental block about fingering yarn and blocking--one of these days I'll just have to bite the bullet.

I just got out of hospital - after a week of being very ill at home.  I can't quite get the energy to crochet yet but I hope to get back to it.

[Hookin Catluvr]

Darski, Hope you are feeling better real soon.  Best wishes for a speedy recovery and regaining strength.

[greyhoundgrandma]

Glad you're going better--hope you get your energy back real soon!

I just discovered this Lacy Shawl on Pinterest- it's by Drew Emborsky

This does not strictly belong here but I thought some of you might like the pattern.

Just saw this Fall Cowgirl shawl

 

still can't crochet but it's on the list

[Hookin Catluvr]

Nice pattern. Hope you're better soon.

How are you doing Darski?

[Hookin Catluvr]

I have been working on other projects lately, not so much shawls. Need to do some more prayer shawls as I only have 2 left. Never know when a need will come up and someone will need a little comfort.

Not so good.  I've had a bit of a relapse.  I still can't crochet
