Almost finished shawl

[wendyRN]

I made my sister a shawl (it was my first shawl ever and took me 4 tries )

 

 

I haven't put the fringe on it yet because, well...I'm a lazy hooker!

 

I love the yarn though, it is so pretty. And I tried it out today outside and it is sooo very warm.

 

So without further adoo, here is my almost finished shawl, modeled by the love of my life...my husband:manyheart

I really like it. How did you get your husband to model it? Mine would have ran out of the room at the suggestion.

[EricaB]

Great job... tell your husband that's really his color!

[lynnmax]

Lovely and great colour choice too

[shelain22]

awww, how sweet! I love that, did you use the pattern for the LB suade shawl? I made one and it looks like that....

[wendyRN]

It's sort of a combination of a bunch of patterns that I had tried and messed up. It's basically just 3DC in every third ch on the first row and then in every space on the other rows. I used on DC at the end of each row and then turned to get to the next row. If that made any sense.

That is sooooo pretty.

very nice.

[DesertCrocheter]

Lovely! The color is so soft and romantic! Patty

[earthwhisper]

Very nice (I am a end weaver-procastinator...also.)

[StitchLuva]

Really nice shawl, love the colors. It looks so warm and cozy.

[LibiLou]

Very lovely shawl. Goes so well with his hair color ( )

[twoqtgirls]

Gorgeous!

[wendyRN]

Thank you guys so much!

 

 

I didnt learn about weaving my ends as I go until after I had finished the shawl. I learned it here! This is THE best board!!

 

Now who wants to spend a day with me and help me do alllllll that fringe?

[racerose]

Gorgeous colors! Homespun has some of the prettiest colors. I love your shawl and your hubby was very kind to model it for us .

[goldi316]

Wonderful job, great model! That is one of my favorite colorways of Homespun, just so you know it's called Quartz.

 

Good luck with the fringing! That's one of my least favorite parts of my projects, takes almost as long as making the shawl and really stresses my back. But that could be because I don't have any good work surfaces to do it on. Leaning over your work on a bed is a guarantee for stressing even a good back out!

 

You sister is sure to love this.

Wo hooooo:eek i thought that was my other half when i saw the pic

Exactly the same head from the back LOL.

The shawl is fantastic ....well done

[mbcabbie]

I was going to comment on how the shawl went so well with his hair color, but LibiLou beat me to it - LOL

 

Fantastic job.
