Spring is here! I've been working hard to design and write some crochet patterns that are fitting for the season, and this is the first. I added this to my Etsy shop Sunday (http://penelopescrochet.etsy.com). Spring time shawl is adapted from a pattern in Weldon's Practical Crochet. The problem with these old patterns, is that they are not very exact. It begins: "commence with a chain as long as desired". The tricky part is that the border has a repeating pattern that requires a certain amount of stitches. So, I guess every Victorian was well-versed in 'Crochet Math'. It took me a while to figure it out, but I finally did it. So now that this little Victorian gem is re-written, it is as easy as pie to work, and almost as fast! For a limited time I'm offering this at an introductory price. Half off.
