Connected Hearts Filet Shawl CAL!

[froggie]

Another 'ville member and I are working on this shawl--it's the Connected Hearts Filet Crochet Shawl, designed by Sandi Marshall. We decided to do a crochet-along, and hope that some of you will join us!! This is a pretty shawl and it is done in filet--don't let that intimidate you, because this is not a difficult pattern. Plus, it uses worsted weight yarn and a G hook. So, if you've ever wanted to learn how do filet crochet, this could be the place and time to start!

 

I am just starting row 8, out of 50 rows. I'm using Simply Soft in bone and the good ol' G hook, and so far it's looking good!

 

So, take a look at the shawl and come join us!!

This is really beautiful. I may have to join this CAL. How many skeins of yarn does it use? I couldn't find a recommendation. Of course, I may have over looked it. It is a beautiful shawl.

 

I'll let you know.

[jmccrochet]

I saw somewhere in the pattern it said 8 oz of WW working with a G hook. That doesn't sound like much. And, yeah, I'm contemplating this one too.

i will be (eventually) making this for MTs favourite aunts xmas.... let me check the stash and see if i have enough yarn....

[yvonne wilkinson]

Im in. Ive never crocheted anything filet but im gonna go for it. Ive had a lot of help from others members here to better understand this pattern, thanks for your help. Ill be making mine to give to charity. I know this is gonna be a beautiful prayer shawl.

[froggie]

Welcome everyone!

 

Yvonne--What yarn & color are you using for your shawl?

 

Betty and Joyce--Hope you can join us!!

 

Homesteadingwife--The pattern says 8 oz. of WW yarn with a G hook, but it might take a little more than that, especially if you do the edging.

 

Other than some amigurumi, this will probably be my first finished object, so I'm psyched up to get this done! The pattern has not been overly difficult so far, and I think I've got the hang of it. I'm also liking my color choice--I have some bone Simply Soft (just enough, I think), and I think it's going to look really pretty when it's done.

ETA: I'm not sure what I'll do with the shawl when it's done, but I'm sure I can find a good home for it!

 

Please let me know what yarn/color you'll be using, and please post pics!! Oh--and please let me know your first names if you don't mind sharing them.

I just looked at that shawl for the first time this weekend, and OH is it a BEAUTY! I have too many things on my hook right now, but I do so hope to make one in the future and am happy to have a resource in y'all to come to when I do! ~smile~ (((((HUGS))))) sandi

[MissRach]

Ooh, I'll do it! Just lemme wait a bit to get a little caught up with other stuff. I think I can start it next week!

[froggie]

Sandi--I wish you could join us, but when you do start this shawl just give a holler!

 

MissRach--Let me know if you decide to do this!

 

I am on row 12 now. I freaked myself out an hour ago, because I thought I was off and would have to frog the whole thing. After going through the work and the pattern space by space, I'm confident that I am not off--and so onward I go!

i love this pattern but dont know if i`m gonna make it in the main time

[CrisKad]

I made this one earlier this year. For some reason, I don't think I put it on the ville because it was for a swap. Here's the ravelry link to it:

That is so pretty. I'll have to see if I have something in my stash that would work.

[yvonne wilkinson]

Hey Froggie, Im using Red Heart Soft Baby in Powdered Pink and a h hook. I love this yarn. Im just on the second row. But its good to see you are progressing well.

[froggie]

CrisKad--Your shawl is beautiful! What yarn did you use?

[homesteadingwife]

I'm going to join. This shawl is just so pretty. I checked out my stash and found 2 8oz. skeins of Mainstay's WW Soft Burgundy, anyway it was left over from a afghan I had made. I can't get Simply Soft around here. Since I can't get my hands on something different than the simply soft, I'm going to try it with a I hook. See how it does with that. If not I'll drop it down a hook size.

 

 

Blessings,

Lynn

I have a question about this chart, when you have 2 black spaces next to each other do you put the double crochets in the dcs as well as the ch 1 spaces or do you just put the dcs in dcs? Im on row 4 and its the row that begins the first heart that is made, and in this row is the first time that there are 2 black squares next to another. Any help?

Yvonne

[wiz3283]

OK count me in. I just started this and I am on row 3 now. I am workin git between 3 other projects so I am not sure how fast I will get it done. I am using caron ss in white. I got a bunch of mill ends so I know I have way more than I will need.

For the solid squares on the chart you put a dc in the ch1 sp and the dc. I hop ehta make sence. If I can get my batteries charged I will try to take a closeup so you can see what I mean.

I would love to make this shawl but I have no printer and don't have the time to sit infront of the comp. to make it

[yvonne wilkinson]

Wiz thanks for your help. I see what you mean. Ive never done filet before so I probably will have other questions.

[wiz3283]

Wiz thanks for your help. I see what you mean. Ive never done filet before so I probably will have other questions.

 

 

No problem. I got into filet about a year or so ago and I am hooked.

[yvonne wilkinson]

Wiz since you are an old pro maybe you can help with another question I have. Im using 3 ply yarn instead of the worst weight yarn and it hard to see the design in the shawl. Does the yarn weight really make a difference? Im debating on just frogging it and start over with some worst weight. What do you think?

[CrisKad]

CrisKad--Your shawl is beautiful! What yarn did you use?

 

Thanks!

 

I used plain old Red Heart Super Saver! I used just a little bit more than 1 skein.

[froggie]

Welcome Lynn and Tammy!! And thanks, Tammy, for helping us out and answering questions!!

 

I just finished row 13, and I think it's looking good. I still love the bone color and I can definitely see the pattern.

 

So, I'm off now to get ready for work. Will check in on this thread Wednesday night, so happy crocheting!!

I know what you mean. I sit in front of this dang monitor and crochet a lot, when something kinda tickles my fancy.

 

I wonder if you could go to your local library and use their computer to print off the pattern and instructions? Anyway, we'd love to have you join us whenever you can!
