2 of Hollys Butterfly Wing Shawls

[threeolivemartini]

very rarely does a pattern come along that inspires me to make two in a row.. this one did !!

 

here they are .. one in homespun and trimmed in something furry .. the other in three yarns i picked up at Melanies... the pink and variegate are thick/thins and the peach is a nice soft textured yarn ..

I was wondering what the "blob" was in the thumbnail. Now I see it's a kitty. (the eyes aren't so good) I love the shawls. Looks like kitty does too.

I'm with the cat, my fave is the first one too!!:rotfl

 

Those are gorgeous!

Very pretty. Now if I only knew someone who would wear a shawl.

[Rosesandtea]

Very nice, both of them. I especially like the second one.

They are absolutely gorgeous! The pink one is breathtaking.

 

Is this the serafina pattern? Or is there another shawl of this type out there?

 

Well done!!

I love seeing what other people do with my pattern <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/bounce012.gif" />

 

I'm especially tickled you are giving one to Melanie, that is really sweet!!! <img border=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/bouquet2.gif" />

 

Lauri, I see Dawn linked you to the pattern already (thanks Dawn!) I really liked the Serafina shawl, but I was always messing up the counts for the increase spots. So I came up with my own pattern that is pretty mindless

I thought, perhaps, *your* name was Holly. The only other moniker on the post was threeolivemartini. <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/blush.gif" /> I'm sorry to say that I'm not up on everyone's names and families and such.

 

Thanks for the link, I started one this afternoon and shall post piccies when I get a bit further.

[rascal]

Very pretty Beth and I know both people getting them will love them! Dar

[threeolivemartini]
