I LOVE THISā€¦ am now inspired but not sure how many more trips to the craft store I can make for yarn in the next week before getting the side eye from husbandā€¦

Itā€™s really just one of the wooden crochet hooks I carved, but used as a scarf pin because I thought it would be both convenient and cute. Double-duty object! :smiley:

That is crazy! I love the way you can make it look so different by the way you wear it. Lovely shape. I would have never dreamed it would look like that on!

This is so dang cool! And the swirliness and bright colors will be especially appreciated in the cooler, cuddlier weather.

Awesome pattern! I like all the different ways youā€™ve wrapped it. And yes, the self-made crochet hook/shawl pin is a delight. :blush:

Thanks everyone! I entered this one in my county fair. Judging was yesterday, but they donā€™t inform you. So I either need to go to the fair this weekend, or wait until the pickup time on Sunday night. Iā€™m trying to make arrangements for me, my (now adult) child, and my (now adult) niece and her daughter, to go tomorrow evening. It was a tradition for my sister in law and me to take the kids to the fair when they were younger, before our state fair moved to another city and my niece and nephew got too old to want to go with their mother anyway. My SIL passed away unexpectedly in 2019, so she isnā€™t around to take her granddaughter to the fair. So Iā€™m really hoping we can make it work. If we do, then Iā€™ll know by tomorrow whether this weird little thing got a ribbon or not. :smiley:

I got a 2nd place ribbon for this shawl, a 3rd place ribbon for the maze afghan, and a 1st place ribbon AND Champion for the jasperware inspired hat I did a while back. I also entered the christmas tree skirt, but it didnā€™t place.
