I recently took crocheting back up after a decade, and this is my first finished shawl ever. Two of my friends are getting married in autumn, and they both like to wear shawls so I decided I’d make one for each of them (and if they don’t like it, I’m sure their cats will appreciate their new basket liner).
The one at the top is just finished, and is a free pattern Klaziena shawl with Scheepjes brambleberry whirl. The end corners are a bit turned inside, but well, first shawl ever, could’ve been worse.
This is the second one, Ceylon Tea shawl pattern with Peppermint Patty scheepjes whirl. Still got quite a ways to go, but I’m really loving the pattern!
Those look beautiful! I’m really liking the colour combo for the blue one.
Wow. This is stunning.
I love the top one so much I might have to try to make one for myself!
If I can do it, anybody can so go for it!
I’ve sworn off shawls for my own good, but have to admit that second one especially is making me second guess my decision!
Absolutely beautiful work, and you’ve picked all my fave colours too 😄
Oh wow, I love the colours - so pretty!
Both are so gorgeous!
Wow. This is stunning.
These are gorgeous!
I’ve been thinking about getting back into crochet again, and subscribed for inspiration.
This might do it.
Aw, thanks for your kind words! And they’re really not too bad, I went back into crochet after about a decade of hiatus, and this is the result.
I love the Klaziena design!! I tried making the square blanket from the free triangle pattern, but wasn’t experienced enough to free hand it, so I bought the square pattern.
I’ll upload it as its own thread here in a moment for you to check out!
Please do! Mine didn’t exactly work out in the middle bits either, but I made it work and now I couldn’t even tell you what I did to make it ok.
I uploaded my square Klaziena into its own thread, but here is the close up of the center.
You have an amazing eye for colour! Love the subtle gradient in the ceylon, the eye almost tries to see it as a solid colour and then does a double-take. I hope to see more of your beautiful work in the future!
Can’t take credit for that, they’re gradient cakes. I really love them!
