Scallop Wrap

[flyinghooks]

I made this shawl/wrap as a gift for one of my kids teachers for Teacher Appreciation week. The kids had a lot of input into patterns and yarn choices (story here)

It's beautiful, Ginny! But I just read your blog and how did you get so much time with the pre-schoolers to make all these color and project decisions? And I am amazed at their perception! Wonderful children! Thanks for posting this and the link to the story!

Very Pretty. I picked up that pattern flyer at AC Moore a few days ago. The yarn they suggest is bulky..what yarn did you use?

[Roli]

That turned out so pretty! I've had that pattern downloaded for a while and hope to make it soon. Nice job!

Thanks - I figure it's the least we can do since they teach so well and get paid a mere pittance of what they deserve! It started last year when I was making the Seraphina shawl just to do it as a CAL, but with no intended recipient... I crochet a lot at the elementary school (while my preschool dd has speech therapy) and my son's kindergarten teacher Mrs. P. always admired my work. Well she loved the color shading, the style and the softness of the Seraphina, so when someone told me it was Teacher Appreciation Week, and I was getting bored making the shawl big enough for me I had an epiphany... Mrs. P loves it, and she's short, I can stop now and give it to her! She truly loved it! Then I made a prayer shawl for an aide in ds's 1st grade room when she found out she had breast cancer... so I guess it's shawls all around! It's kind of fun to get to know the teachers and try to pick out a pattern that "fits" them.

I love this! I think I need to make this, maybe with Bernat Softee Chunky, or that bulky chennille stuff I got for $1.50 a skein at Walmart the other day.......
