My Seraphina

[LEaD]

A few years ago EVERYONE seemed to be making a Seraphina shawl, so I started one, too. I finally finished mine a couple of weeks ago I'm not the fastest hooker around.

 

Anyhoo, here's a pic:

 

 

As you can see, I used a different dye lot toward the end. I guess it adds some interest. For anyone making this one I would suggest using a large hook. I used Wool-Ease and a size H hook and the larger the shawl got, the more tedious it felt (which explains why I put it down for so long.)

I like it. Looks like you edged it with the different dye lot. Looks great!

[miller3602]

Glad you finished it...it looks great. And sometimes those happy "accidents" work out well!

[suzan720]

It looks awesome!! And it looks great on the edge liuke that. I(t makes it look like you did it tht way on purpose

:clap

I also like how it turned out. If you don't tell anyone else that you ran out of yarn, they'll think you designed the color change that way on purpose! Quite pretty

The shawl looks very pretty. And, I agree, it looks like you edged the shawl in the different dye lot color. Very nice. I've been wanting to make myself one. Did you have any problems following the pattern? I've heard that the pattern can be confusing.

I started the shawl a loooong time ago, but I do seem to remember setting aside the two dye-lot oddballs to save for last (thinking I might not need them. God truly does watch out for fools and crazy people.) Starting the pattern can be a little scary, but the website has GREAT pictures and once you get started it is sooooooooo easy.

[lhasaapsolady]

Very pretty, nice job.

[RoseRed]

That looks awesome! I thought you did that on purpose to edge it!

[jessjess]

That looks really good! Well done

[Hooked]

Looks great! It looks like you meant to edge it that way. Good job!

Lovely Seraphina and I really like the darker edge, sara! My first one had a different dye lot in the middle — only slightly different — and I frogged back a whole skein of Simply Soft and started with another.

It's a lovely piece of work, and the edging DOES look like it was planned that way!

 

I've had a shawl project on the hook for a year now ... The pattern was so tempting (pretty but simple) but the going gets so tedious after a while.

 

Where does the Seraphina pattern come from? (Uh-oh ... I think I'm tempted again ... )

[crocheting_Kelly]

Very pretty! You did a great job!

Hi Jozzie. Not sure if this is the site everyone else has got the pattern from, but I found it while doing a search for the Seraphina shawl:
