crochet shawl: finished…

It has turned really, really, chilly here in the UK.  Autumn is most definitely here; and on a morning there is the first hint of Winter in the air.  This weather makes it the perfect time of year for getting on with some serious crochet.  I decided that I needed to spend some time finishing off (some of) my unfinished projects.  The Knitting and Stitching show, which is only a few weeks away, has also spurred me on: if I have finished my projects I have the perfect excuse for shopping!  Right?  I thought that the first project I’d finish was my shawl.  I started this a while ago: now it is finished, just in time to keep me warm.  I am pleased with how it turned out…

The pattern, written by the immensely talented Debbie Bliss, was brilliant to follow. It featured in Simply crochet issue 4 . The only tricky bit was knowing when to stop crocheting the length, so you had enough yarn left to crochet the edges.   I love the results: a light shawl to keep the chilly evenings away while I snuggle down with my other crochet projects.
