First Shawl Finished!

[Montana Mommy]

I did it! A dear friend of mine asked me to make her a shawl (a BIG one, 3 yards wide!) and I am victorious!

 

I used a Lion Brand Pattern that I found on their website, Lion Brand Homespun yarn in black and corinthian and crocheted with a N hook.

 

Here is the link to my blog post about it, and the photos here are also clickable.

I had so much fun making it for her once I figured out what the heck I was doing! Now her friend wants one! Before Christmas!

It was! The fringe is actually what took so long. Still, the outcome was well worth the time spent and I'm glad I stuck with it!

Wonderful! I love the bright contrasting color on the fringe.

Looks great!

 

Did you do anything special with the ends of the fringe? I'm working on some scarves in homespun and am wondering if the fringe will get frizzy and split at the ends like the end of my skein is?

I wonder why I never get such wonderful gifts from my friends? This shawl is awesome!

Thanks! No, I didn't do anything special with the ends. I told my friend that they would get fuzzy over time and she was fine with it. I had offered to tie knots on the ends of the fringe but she didn't want it to look that way.

 

So yes, over time I'm sure the fringe will get fuzzy but hopefully won't split too much!

That's amazingly huge.
