Shawler CAL

[SouthernJudy]

Your yarn choice sounds great and don't change your mind...just buy more! That way you can make another one as soon as you are done with the first one!

Post # 250 is correct....I think you are looking at the PAGE numbers... I think the post numbers are on the upper right corner of each post. LOL...you ARE a LITTLE excited, aren't you!

Yes I am :-) My family lives in Iowa and these will make wonderful Xmas gifts. They will be great for the fall and going to games in the evenings. I always give away everything i make so i'm going to start with me first lol Or I will never get one. lol

Sorry Southern Judy, we've been gone all day, just now got on here. I see you found it okay. I just sent it to you!

Thanks, Theresa for pointing her in the right direction. I need to add some more to my Etsy shop. It's all sold out!

I got the pattern!!! Thankyou so much. Now it's off to the yarn store hehehehe

I'm all done except for the trim. I'm a little confused at this point, do I trim just the front, or all around the whole shawler?

Thanks in advance

Yes just around the front, but I have trimmed all around the whole shawler too on some that I've done...just to see what it looks like...I like both ways so actually what ever you want to do!

I finally finished my Shawler...I do need trim but I want to get some contrasting solid color, maybe burnt orange to put all around the trim.

I used the Collar pattern from Shelle instead of the hood.

The yarn is from Coats & Clark, a varigated mill end I bought on Ebay for $12.00 total.

I love it, but if I will make another one for winter, I would do it in HDC so there would not be so much holes from Double Crochet.

It is a great pattern and I enjoyed making it. I squeezed it in between other projects and gifts.

Thanks Shelle for a great pattern and for being available for questions.:cheer:cheer

Even though I have reached Villager status, I am unable to access the link you have posted . Thanks!

[JesseCat]

Theresa,

 

You have not updated your blog since 2007, I was hoping to see your 4 1/2 Shawlers all together on your blog...

I can not believe you have done so many....

[Shelleden]

I think that link is broken. A lot of people have said they can't acess it. Here's where the pattern is: http://crochetcabin.bravehost.com It's also in my Etsy shop. You can see some finished Shawlers 'villers have made, on my Blog, too. links in signature.

I know...isn't that sad! I have so much to catch up on there and just haven't had the time to do it yet! But I have only done 4 shawlers and forgot to take a pic of the last one I did, but I will try to get a pic of my dear sister wearing it sometime. Zoezoesmom is working on her fifth one, though and I've lost count of how many Shelle has done herself. I am going to try to get to that blog...soon...someday!

[andrea2006]

Joanne that looks great i am on my 2nd one in praire and need to get my butt working on it, just havnt seen to have the time. I may work on it tomorrow , I cross stitch alot as well so i have been really working hard on that lately. I do that more than crochet in the summer months and we have finally had some hot weather.

:cheerI finished! It came out great! Thank you Shelle for the great pattern.

You're welcome, but.... where are the pics? We want to see pics. We must see pics!

I don't remember what hook I am using...silly me and I did not count how many skeins I used!!!! It was alot!!!! I bet 18 or so because they are little skeins AND I ran out!!!!! I just picked up some black yarn for the hood and cuffs and saved just enough of the Moda Dea to trim it.....we'll see how that works out for me.

[crafty_girl_08]

I have just recently started on the Shawler. I love thi pattern! But my question is, does anyone have tips or suggestions on when/where to put the increases? Any help would be greatly appreciated? Thank you!

I marked my initial increases with a different color yarn and just kept moving them up as I went along...the increases do not have to be in the "exact" stitch every time.

That sounds like about the easiest way to do it....not the way I did it! I added three stitches to the first number of each increase row and then 1 stitch to the next increases...lots of counting though and I ended up writing it all out. I like your way better!

[Creations248]

Well, I finally got my pattern ordered. Now I'm looking through my stash to see what I want to make this out of. I see the pattern calls for Homespun. Ok, the blue I want to use - of course I only have 4 skeins. So, I'm thinking maybe I'll pick up two more in like charchol gray or black and do some stripes and the hood and border in the darker color. Yeah, that sounds like a plan. How is everyone else doing???

[JesseCat]

No one has posted pics of their Shawler recently...I did....

If anyone needs a bunch of Homespun, Smileyyarn.com has it for 1.99 on its website, but you have to spend a total of 40.00...if you need yarn their site is worth it...

[ZoeZoesmom]

I finished my Shawler I did in Moda Dea Floral. I used black for the hood and cuffs, it turned out wonderful! I will try to post some pics over the weekend. Now I am going to start one in Bohemian. My name is Dawn and I am a Shawler addict!
