the awsom pineapple fan Shawl (any intrested?)

[_Stacy_]

I know what you mean! The pattern was fun and worked up quickly. I thought the shawl was pretty but not really my style. Then, when I tried it on, I didn't want to give it away! ROFL So I will probably end up making one for myself sometime in the future. Anyway, here is a picture.

Oh this is beautiful!

I'm bookmarking this and will hopefully join in when I get some of my holiday gifts completed

 

can someone let me know roughly how much yarn I will need?

I have a 400g skein of a wool/acrylic mix in a lovely heathery purple that I'd like to use if possible

[SlowCrocheter]

Think Ill add this to my 2009 list of things to do. About how much ww yarn does it take. I want to use from my stash if it take more then 8 oz Ill have to wait till I use up more yarn cause I can't buy any until then.

[_Stacy_]

Thanks, everyone!

Mine took almost 2 full skeins (6 oz each.) I started with leftovers from another project but went back for 2 extra...I used all of one and about a third of another. I used Caron SS in plum wine. The bag was actually the project from which I used the leftovers. LoL

I will definitely do another one but not sure when. I am trying to get a bunch of Christmas projects finished up right now, plus my 5 y/o really wants a blue and green rr, so I will probably have to put all of "my" projects on the back burner until the new year.

Thanks Stacy, 400g should give me plenty then

[q8_crochet]

kookalo

i`m sorry but i don`t think they are enough

i`ve used 2and 3/4 skeins of RHSS which contains 200gm in each one

[q8_crochet]

hello

i`vw received a wonderfull package from my warm and fuzzy yarn swap partner which containes a lot of yarn and it includes 4 skein of RH plush in lt.sage

so i thought of making this shawl with fbb from it

i wish there wont be another shawl that would steal my attention for now

see ya all later

dammit, I was really hoping it would be enough

thanks for the heads up!

[q8_crochet]

kookalo

use any yarn that is enough or buy one more skein of urs

come up here it`s gonna be fun i have to make 3 more of this

[kookaloo_starr]

I'd love to buy more but it's not an option at the moment & 400g is the most I have of anything in my stash.

[_Stacy_]

I checked the Caron website and it says 315 yds/6 oz skein. I have no idea of the grams, though. If I could find my label I could tell you. Does your label have a yardage on it?

[kookaloo_starr]

I don't think it does Stacy but I'll check, thanks for the info

[mzbellz]

I used my left over lb of love yarn. its baby blue. I'm almost finished, just have to finish the pineapples individually and put the trimming around it. It's really nice. When it's finished i'll post it. I've seen some other pics of the shawls done and loved it. I found my pattern from an old time crochet magazine dtd 1994. It's a great pattern. Will most likely make more when I have the time.

[_Stacy_]

You're welcome.

Ok I have been working on the Eva's shawl for the past 2 days and it is driving me nuts, so I am going to start another one of these. I think my new go-to shawl for gifts and such is going to be this one. It is just so pretty. I am going to start it in Caron SS in grape, if I can find enough of it lying around. If not then it will be in Caron Wintuk in soft lilac- I know I have enough of that. Or I may just have to run out to Joann's where Caron 1-lb'ers are on sale this week.

[q8_crochet]

you are welcome in here of caurse and i knoww you`ll make ur self another one because it`s so wonderfull

mine gonna be in lt, sage

 

 

stacy

i think the option to run to Joann is the best

crocheters can never have too much yarn right ??

[Super Granny]

just to let some of the newer crocheters know.. you can not always go by weight... baby yarn weighs next to nothing so it might take 3 oz for something that takes 4-5 oz of worsted weight...

I understand that, I don't even get the same types as yarn as you over here anyway but a rough estimate is always handy

[Super Granny]

it is hard for some newcomers to understand... I have gotten WW yarn and had one skein be different from the other one in the same lot... WW comes in different weights now so you have to pay even more attention...

[_Stacy_]

I generally try to go by yardage as opposed to weight. I never use baby-weight, though so I really don't have to worry about that. Thanks for the heads-up, though!

I started my second one two days ago, almost done with the first round of pineapples. I am using Caron SS Eco in Summer Rose. I'd love to run out to Joann's but dh is home for a week and has already complained about the amount of yarn I have.

[Super Granny]

complaining is good for them... at least they are noticing... I've been married for 33 years and he still complains sometimes ... it doesn't do him any good though...

[q8_crochet]

i`ll hav to make 3 more of this

decided on one color for me , my sister will buy the yarn for her and need to think of a third color

i`m really thinking , maybe RHSS in country blue

[Yarnluver]

I was hoping this pineapple shawl was the new one on the Caron site designed for using CSS Eco which is the only pineapple shawl I've really liked so far, oh well!
