Gertrude's Shawl

[buggaboosmommy]

As ya'll know, I was working on a birthday gift for the dear lady I told you about from the Crochet World magazine. Well, here it is...simple, yet cozy I started with a half granny square and just kept going. I just love granny squares. I can't wait to get it in the mail to her!! Donna

She's going to love that. It's soo pretty. I love the colors.

 

I need to make a couple of those before x-mas as my daughter has 2 grandma-in-laws now, both 76 years young. They could and would use that. Thank you for the idea.

That shawl is beautiful. It's the simple patterns sometimes that make the most beautiful things. That lady will love it, I'm sure. I think it'd look gorgeous done in purples myself

 

I'm making a pineapple shawl for our pastor's wife as a goodbye gift since they're moving at the end of the month. I'm using Homespun in Candy Apple and it's turning out really gorgeous.

[Crochet Buffet]

Very pretty!!! She's going to love it!

[smyz64]

Wonderful thing you are doing. I thought the same thing when I read that letter, that was too bad, and she will certainly enjoy it. I can't wait to see if she sends another letter to the mag! You are very thoughtful.
