Ooh, mimmicat, that's lovely! I've been thinking of making a friend a shawl for her birthday, and that pattern is lovely. Thanks for sharing, and congrats on a lovely, lovely job! Patty

Hi, thanks to everyone who made comments here!

If you want to make the "ivory shawl" I have the following tips:

 

*print the mani di fata free pattern (make sure it's in english...)

 

*have thread specified in pattern or * have 4 balls (50gms each) of size 10 mercerized cotton thread (I used Monaco ...)

 

*use a 2.5mm hook as specified in pattern or *3.00mm hook as I did, for a finished size of about 110 x 182 cm

 

*this seems to work up fast, but not when you're in the middle...

 

*think of the end result - this is a pretty shawl!

 

*have a little patience, and some more...

 

*when you're done crocheting the shawl, try to have fun making the fringes - its worth it!

*finally, praise yourself and enjoy the beautiful shawl or find someone who will!

Very, very pretty!

I so adore that! It would be right up my alley too...since I love thread and don't mind working with it for hours.

This is my first full-sized triangular shawl (first time I made fringes too)! I made this using one strand of mercerized crochet cotton. I got the pattern from manidifata.com as mentioned in my previous blog post here.

 

Oh that is very nice. Looks very intricate!
