Crochet Shawl

Still here, just busy with school and on-going projects. Also, re-attaching the hem tape on my brown print. Again.

I did complete one project recently: a crochet shawl for a friend.  The yarn is Lion Brand "homespun", worked with a Q hook. It's done in "shell pattern--lacy alternating", from Ryan's The Complete Encyclopedia of Stitchery.

Matt is pressed into service as a model.

Original Projects

The Victorian Pattern Box is posting original magazine project instructions; most are from the later 1800s so far, but it's certainly worth keeping an eye on.
