I'm being rather slow on this project - too many other things going on** but this last weekend I really dug in and got some work done on it... can't wait to finish and see it blocked!
(note: I put a full skein of shadow next to it so you could visualize the size!)
I love this project! (it's from the book Crochet so Fine by Kristin Omdahl, which should be available next week) I'm about half way done... It's funny, I've never tackled a knit lace shawl, but here I am with a crocheted lace shawl! (maybe I'll get brave and try the knit one next!). I also love the yarn, Knit Picks Shadow Tonal in gypsy... the different shades of red add to the lace to give a very dimensional look... I definitely like working from the crochet chart vs reading the pattern text... I'm such a visual person! Once I figured out where the repeat continued after the initial chart, it's been smooth sailing!!!
If you haven't yet tried crochet, give it a try... there are some great patterns out there: some whimsical and some great classic patterns... There are so many of us getting into crochet around the KP office! be adventurous!!! Check out the large selection of crochet books now available at Knit Picks! Join us at the Knit Picks Crochet-A-Long we're getting a pretty good sized group involved now...
**Some of the other things I've been working on: I'm trying my hand at creating some IDP patterns (one knit, one crochet right now - I'll tell you more about them later), I'm also working on a quilt project for Connecting Threads and this crochet project... wow! Hopefully somewhere in all this I can squeeze in my garden too!!!
Happy knitting (I mean crocheting!)

Feb 25, 2011 at 6:41 PM Hi, This shawl is published under the term "14 Free Crochet Shawls" on the "AllFreeCrochet" website. I just read the comments & apparently this pattern is not free, you should probably have it removed from this site. Vicki

Jan 10, 2011 at 10:32 AM I love the crocheted shawl - I very much would like to have this free pattern. I belong to a Shawl Ministry at our church and this would be so nice to pass on to some of our ladies. Thank you.

Nov 21, 2010 at 12:19 PM I, too, found your blog because it was listed under 14 Free Shawl Patterns From All Over on the All Free Crochet Free Crochet Patterns for Happy Hooking. This is a newsletter that is e-mail to whomever subscribed. So, I expected to find it as a free pattern. Thanks for the name of the book as it looks like it might have a whole lot more in it.
Oct 11, 2010 at 7:28 AM Please someone help me find a pattern for crocheted spider web shawl....
Aug 5, 2010 at 9:49 AM Hi Judi... this shawl I'm crocheting isn't a free pattern... it's from the book Crochet so Fine... where did you see this link? --Kim
Aug 5, 2010 at 9:41 AM Hi! I found you by clicking on a link to get a free pattern for the burgundy crocheted shawl but cannot find the instructions. It is the one in the blog "Crocheted Shawl one month later.
Jul 19, 2010 at 1:04 PM thanks Christine... I'll check it out...
Jul 7, 2010 at 1:50 PM Thanks Cami... Thanks Susan... I'm enjoying the pattern... there's another project in this book that I'd like to do - but I'll have to wait a little bit - it looks like a lot of work!!! (it's in the "view more images" 9-12 tab, lower right corner) What you don't see in that picture is that its actually a circular shawl that's belted... I think I'll work on a scarf next!!! :-)
Jul 7, 2010 at 1:42 PM Wow!!! So gorgeous Kim - You are making it very hard for me to be good, as I now want the book & the yarn! Beautiful work, it looks amazing!
Jul 6, 2010 at 4:48 PM This looks amazing! Great work.
