My daughter is graduating from college with her Masters in Engineering. I am making her this shawl for graduation. The pattern is in Russian, but it has charts. This is actually my first time using charts to do Crochet. It seems to be going well. I have made doilies before and this pattern seems a lot like them. It probably helps some, the fact that I have been crocheting for more than 40 years. I know the stitches well. I just hope I can get it done before May 8th.
Have a great day!!
God Bless you!!

Here are the projects I have been working on lately. I finished another Afghan . This one for my niece who is getting married in June. I started another prayer shawl using a leaf pattern and an ivy leaf pattern in lace. Then there is the Raglan sweater that I finally got started. Hopefully I will have it done before next winter, so I can wear it. My other sweaters are getting thread bare.



Have a great day!!

What would you call it??

I saw the neatest scarf shawl thing. I want to design a lace one but I don't know what to call it. It looks like a scarf in the front, as if you flipped the ends of the scarf over your shoulders. BUT in the back the ends are connected and knitted all the way across. So it is like a shawl. With a hole for your head. Anyone have any idea of what to call it?

Have a great day!!
God Bless You!!
