Well, thank you all you lovely people for all your great comments on my last post - after reading them, I decided to carry on and finish the shawl - yay!! Thank you especially to 'Anonymous' (who are you, oh helpful one?!) for suggesting a shawlette and ways I could wear it. I carried on, and I finished it, and I love it! (You were right!)
If anyone is interested in the details, here they are:
Yarn: 3 x 50g balls of Rowan Amy Butler Belle Organic Aran in Robin's Egg (Shade 209)
Hook: 6mm
Pattern: here
The pattern is in Japanese and a symbol one - I've never used a pattern like that before, but I found it surprisingly easy. (Maybe I was doing it completely wrong - who knows - I was happy anyway!)
I'm not sure what size hook I was supposed to use, and I didn't do the number of rows specified - I did as much as the yarn I had would allow.
I had a bit of a shawlette photo-shoot in the park... so here are more pictures! Sorry for being a poser....!!!
I'll probably wear it like that quite a bit. (Didn't really know what to do with my arms in these pictures - so if they look a bit random, that'll be why!)
I'll probably NOT wear it like this quite so often...!! ;o) (Had to be done....!)
This will be my August Monthly Make. I'm glad I didn't rip it apart - I'm rather loving it. It's very warm and cosy too. I'm thinking I might crochet a brooch to hold it together in various positions. If I do, I'll be sure to show you...!
It looks really pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely shawlette. So many ways to wear it too.

Ha ha! Love it bonnet stylee!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you completed this as I have a few balls of yarn which I wasn't sure what to do with. This will make the perfect project.Cocorose emailed me the pattern months ago but I was yet to start it. You have spurred me on. I have so may wips though!!!
It's beautiful I'm glad you didn't give in. I think a crochet brooch would be a great addition for fastening it, what better excuse to make a crochet flower? x

It looks lovely as a scarf/cowl. So many possibilities :)
ReplyDeleteI love the shots, thanks for this, you look so happy with your shawlette. By the way, I want one but I have never made any crochet before, do you think it would be suitable for a beginner?
ReplyDeleteI have found that a hair barrette makes a nice way to hold shawl in place too!!
