My interpretation of the Jessica shawl

[crochetfun]

I finished this early this morning, around 1:30 a.m. The yarn was TLC Amore, Sand, 6mm hook.

 

The pattern: well, it's my best imitation of the Jessica Simpson shawl. Since I was totally confused by all the written patterns, I used this for guideline:

[yarnjunkie]

Thanks so much Everyone!

It really is not a difficult pattern after the 3rd row or so. Once I smartened up and put a marker both at the end and at the beginning of the row, it was ok.

(Those triangles can really confuse me, so I caught myself merrily crocheting down the sides of the shawl a couple of times.)

I would have loved to include a couple of corner flowers, but really did not have the patience to suffer through those)

TLC Amore is perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed working with it. It is very soft and light. It comes in some neat colours, I will definitely use it again. The shawl took about one and a half skein. (the half skein was the fringes)

It is a large one: about 5 and a half feet across.

Her skirt is from Guess, it is cute, laces up on the hips. She just bought it this week. There are a lot of pretty skirts this year:)
