Here I thought I was being all secretive and sneaky with my Secret Pal but it turns out I'm just not the secretive, sneaky type:blush . I posted about the reveal gift I'd made her in my blog today and even put pictures in too. Three people left wonderful comments, she was one of them!!

 

Oh well, hopefully the package will arrive tomorrow and the rest of the stuff in the box will be somewhat of a surprise, and if it isn't, well, at least I can say I tried:) .

 

For anyone that cares, this is what I made her.

 

Here is a close up of the pattern

 

If you're interested in the trials and tribulations of the yarn I used you can read about it in my blog too.

oh, what a bummer. but I have to say you did an amazing job on that, and it looks like it wasn't easy. Your secret pal should be very grateful.

Jamie,

I'm still doing cartwheels

(although it's scaring my hubby)

I love the name you gave it, it will be called my chaos shawl and I didn't tell you on the blog but I can't wait to WEAR it! Have the outfit all planned out in my mind already! So excited, and sorry I couldn't NOT say something on your blog cuz it's just the COOLEST most GORGEOUS shawl ever!

Thank you thank you thank you.

 

And I really do feel for you. I just hate putting motifs or squares together, and to have to do it 3 times, UGH! I really appreciate the effort you put into it.

sorry to hear that hun but you tried. The shawl is gorgeous i'll have to go checkout your website.

That is such a beautiful shawl! You did an axcellent job! And it looks super in Black! I am not surprised to see that your secret pal is very happy with it! So, I guess what we learned here is you can't post the picture ANYWHERE until your gift is recieved! Thanks for sharing with all of us anyway!

Beautiful work. I have that swirl motif pattern (or one much like it) somewhere saved on my harddrive and plan to use it someday.

 

I used to have a LiveJournal blog that noone in my family knew about (at least I don't think they spend time on the web like I do) where I could post pictures of what was being planned for them. I still have the LJ acct.. just don't use it much.

What a gorgeous shawl! Yammy, no wonder you are over the moon! At least now you can be thrilled with the anticipation of receiving your package. Wonderful workmanship.

For anyone that cares, this is what I made her.

 

 

Of course we care! We care about all crochet projects!

It's beautiful!

I need to read your blog and see what trials you had as I am thinking of doing a black thread shawl.

Thanks for sharing!
