That is a lovely shawl. Your work is great.

Miss USA - did you use the E hook they recommended in the pattern? I'm going to make one of these for charity and also have Red Heart yarn but was thinking that the E hook might be a little small??

 

Thanks!

Man! I can't believe I missed this post! Miss USA, I love that set of books! They sure have some really neat patterns in them, don't they? Unfortunately, that particular volume I don't have...it's one of the few I couldn't locate. I found my set in a thrift store of all places! I have volumes 2-20, but missing like #s 1, 6, 17, and 21-25. Great work! Love that color on you!

but missing like #s 1, 6, 17, and 21-25.

 

There are really 25 volumes? Holy cow, I've only ever seen 20 and I've been looking for a while. By the way, there's an ebay auction for 10 volumes and a few look to be the ones you're missing. Hope you find 'em!

Oh, what a beautiful shawl! Doesn't look "papery" at all! The model is very pretty too!

i love the color, and i agree that it doesn't look papery when you are wearing it

What a pretty shawl and Miss USA I don't know if anyone else has told you but you remind me of this singer named Amy Lee she is in a band called Evanescence which is like the best Goth Rock group ever. I love the shawl and you are a very pretty young lady great job on the shawl.

Beautiful bright shawl!

Well I can agree with both of your names. Yes Red Heart does not make up the softest stuff *L* but maybe try washing it w/softener? Unless you like to let it 'stand up by itself'

[lisalu]

Not everyone could pull off that red, but it looks perfect on you. Very dramatic and suits you well.

Beautiful! As are you! You have the look of a French model!

I love your makeup!!!

The shawl is beautiful! And, as usual, your craftsmanship is fabulous!!

 

PS: And thanks for the info on the book the pattern is in: I found a copy over at amazon.com.

Thanks, Miss USA, for sharing the beauty of your work on this lovely shawl. And for anyone who can’t find the book containing the pattern ( “Make It Yourself” Volume 17) through a bookseller, here’s a suggestion: check with your local library. If they don’t have it, see if they can do an inter-library loan and get it from another library for you. Worth the effort if you really want the pattern.
