I just found this thread and it was lovely to read through. Perfect timing too as I am looking for a few project to do in the evenings in front of the TV. That list of patterns on the first post is awesome @MistressJennie

Weeee! Row one was a doozy. But, I am starting row 2 and while there is counting, it is alot more intuitive. I am so used to projects that are 30, 40, 60 rows. But this will just be six rows. The counting of the chain and row one took all night last night.

I really like this next color. :slight_smile: Its all periwinkly/turquoisy. tea cheers

It still looks like seaweed but I am sticking with the process.

mmmm I love Mandala. I just grabbed two more cakes of the new sequiny Mandala colorways this weekend. And they just make the softest, drapiest shawls. Lovely!

I am looking at fortuneā€™s shawlette on moogly, but it said to use a fingering (1) weight with a J (6.0mm) hook and this is a sport (2) weight and the J was kind of ridiculous there. Iā€™m going to try to use the recommended hook for the yarn and see what happens.

Ooo!! Thatā€™s so pretty! Good luck!

Thatā€™s a gorgeous shawl! The difference between fingering and sport isnā€™t too huge when gauge isnā€™t critical, Iā€™m sure yours will be awesome.

And so it begins ā€¦

I feel like itā€™s a hot mess, but thatā€™s how I usually feel about all my projects at these early stages so Iā€™m pressing on.

You know that point in the project where you just wonderā€¦will I even like this. Iā€™m there. Row 1 and 2 were just so abstract and seaweed-like. Now that itā€™s taking its shapeā€¦ it is shrinking so much. I really thought this would be huge. I think I will have to try the next size up. But, I will push on and try to finish. Sidenote: I wanted a lightweight shawl but this particular pattern might have benefited a lot from a plushier yarn, too.

My last post sounded so negative. I am really enjoying just wanting to crochet after the last two years of being meh about it all. Crocheting the last week has been so relaxing and itā€™s been a lot of fun. Did I ever show you all my Klaziena?

Did you make it with a Thin yarn and a J hook like the pattern called for? Iā€™m wondering now if I shouldā€™ve gone with that. It feels very condensed here doing it with the hook recommended by the yarn. I think Iā€™m using a G. Iā€™m wondering if it will be as pretty if it isnt loosy goosy.

Yep! I used a fingering weight wool/cashmere yarn and a J hook.

Thanks for replying and with a pic, thatā€™s awesome!
I am going to keep going with the smaller hook for now. It wonā€™t be as lacy, but the texture is growing on me. Maybe if I make a second one Iā€™ll do it ā€œrightā€ haha.
I love yours, beautiful work!

Itā€™s day fiveā€¦


I added a taupy/gold yarn to ā€œtone downā€ the brighter colors. You know you have something very bright when you tone it down with gold. I am ā€œsupposed toā€ do another row after this one and then its done. I might fudge it and call it.
I find myself fantasizing about making other shawls. LOL
