I just added some pics to the first page of this thread. They had been there orginally, but didn't seem to come through with the board switch.

Thanks HOlly. I see it now. Beautiful. No sure if anyone already asked this question but about how much yarn did it take?

[threeolivemartini]

For the multi-colored shawl I used a K hook and

2 skeins of Noro Blossom (77 yds ea)

4 skeins of Trendsetter Dune (90 yds ea)

5 skeins of Noro Silk Garden (109 yds ea)

this was a little farther up the thread..

Thanks for a wonderful pattern, I love it!

Make this shawl WIM #367. It is gorgeous! I'll have fun roaming the yarn aisles looking for that perfect yarn.

How much Noro did it take and what type was it? This is stunning and definately on my WIM list!

Sounds like a good project, Thank you

This little item is definitely going on my shopping list this week at the MD Wool and Sheep Festival. What a absolutely beautiful piece. And there is no need to tell anyone that it was so easy. Gotta love those mindless projects.

This is such a gorgeous shawl and I hope to make it after my current projects. I think after using inexpensive yarn for my first five projects, I can now graduate to better quality fancy yarn for this shawl.

 

I would love to see photos of this shawl made by other people. Many have written that you have already completed your own butterfly shawl...

Let's see it......

[threeolivemartini]

Jesse..

 

here are two i have completed in two very different yarns..

Thank you for showing your shawls. I love the beige and lavendar one almost as much as I love seeing your cat.

[threeolivemartini]

she is a character that is for sure.. I have started another of these in some different yarns.. will show when i am finished .. i love this pattern

[JesseCat]

Elizabeth, Are you using the same pattern that is posted on the #1 thread or do you have another one? I recently made a triangle shawl from a pattern on another site and it came out too skimpy. I am going to take it apart and start all over. Yours looks more fuller and substantial....Thanks in advance...

[threeolivemartini]

this is the pattern at the top of this thread.. i think the choice of yarn makes a huge difference.. the purple one i used homespun.. the other i used three yarns .. the peach was a cotton boucle.. the pink is a thick thin cotton and the multi is a thick thin cotton rayon..

Hi Holly,

I'm looking for 'projects' but can't find it. Sorry, but would you please direct me?

Meanwhile I'll go and look for my well used dunce hat.

Take care, Angie

[threeolivemartini]

you are looking for the pattern? its in the first entry of this thread ... on th efirst page..

[Angelique15]

No, actually I'm looking for Holly's pic of the shawl. Wanted to see hers, saw some of the others in later post. I'm I confused as usual?

Take care, Angie

[HollyM]

Hi Angie!

 

I think the confusion is not all the pictures made it over from the board switch.

If you click on the first page of *this* thread, and then scroll down, I fixed one of my older posts to include the pictures of my noro/trensetter shawl. I'll try to find the project thread to fix it there when I get home.

 

If you can't find it, let me know and I'll pm you direct links

As a side note, I wore that shawl to the MD Sheep & Wool festival yesterday and I got tons of compliments on it. That's one of the things I love about fiber people. No one was shy about coming up & asking how it was made, what kind of yarn it was made of. It was a lot of fun getting to talk to so many people.

Hi Holly,

thank you for your explaination, finally figured everything out. I guess I didn't have all my brains together. Lost my darling pet this weekend...It's hard to deal with. Trying to get my mind on other things and since I love to crochet I want to 'dive' into a new project and your shawl really interested me. I can see that many people asked you how it is made. It is beautiful. Thanks again for helping

Take care, Angie

What a wonderful shawl. Cannot wait to make it.

I see in the threads how many skeins of each yarn to purchase but I do not see on the instructions as to how many rows of each yarn you used, or was it just sporatic? It is just so beautiful the way you did it that I would like to do it exactly the same - the colors show up so great.

Sorry for trying to be a copy cat however, I do not put colorways together so great.

[HollyM]

Don't be sorry! I'm flattered:)

 

I worked it randomly, but I went back & counted the rows.

 

1-12 silk garden (sg)

13-15 dune

16-20 sg

21-22 blossom

23 sg

24-28 dune

29-30 sg

31-32 blossom

33 sg

34-36 dune

37-40 sg

 

Remember, it's very long. What's nice about center-out patterns (and bottom up ones) is that you can stop whenever it's the length you like.

Good Morning Holly

Thankyou for your prompt reply.

I went into town yesterday and purchased the Silk Garden & Blossom but was unable to find Trendsetter Dune so now I must go on a hunt. Doubt that I will find it up here in such a small place but perhaps I will be able to find it on the net or substitute. Wish me luck because I really, really want to start and finish this beautiful shawl.

Once again thankyou and I will let you know when I finish it.

June.. if you need a good subsitute for the dune the lion midnight mohair i think is a good one.
