Love this shawl and pattern, April! I have NEVER made a shawl yet, and have always wanted to. This might be the perfect pattern to start with, especially as I love that era so much. Gone With The Wind is my favorite movie.. While slavery was an ugly element of the times, I LOVE that pretty world of "knights and ladies fair", and gallantry! I love all the crochet you can easily and often find throughout the movie too!.. Thank you for sharing your pattern! ~tina
ReplyDeleteHi this was my first shawl & its turned out amazing!! Works up pretty quick & the yarn i had on hand to use was the same color!! & i read gone with the wind for the first time in 8th grade over the summer :o)
Deleteso, your bio says you're an 'aspiring crochet designer'. that's wrong! i think, form a look at your free patterns, that you ARE a crochet designer. thanks for sharing all your work!

I'm fairly new to crocheting. While I can't read patterns, I learn how to make things by watching. I love this shawl and would absolutely love to be able to make it. Would you ever considering doing an instructional video on how to make it?
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I can't crochet but I am working on some Civil War knit things.
ReplyDeleteHey April, Just wondering, do you know how much yarn this shawl used? I LOVE it!
