While we were driving to the West coast at the beginning of Sept 08, I finally finished crocheting the background for a freeform butterfly shawl that I’ve been working on for ages.
The shawl is a combination of tatting and crochet and is a small semi-circular shoulder shawl. It is super comfortable to wear as it stays in place without tugging.
I love putting crochet together with tatting as they are harmonious partners.
I went through a fair amount of frustration with making the shawl, as I had to frog it many times to find the perfect combination of threads.
But, now I love it, and wear it a lot!
Here is a list of the links that show the shawl being constructed:

Hi Connie
Eventually, yes! But right now, I am in the middle of working on a new book, so it’s a bit of a scramble.
THank you so much, Jacqui! So sorry to have missed you…. perhaps next year?
I love the shawl. Will the pattern/instructions be available?
As always Noreen you have ‘blown’ me away with your beautiful creation. I would have loved to have been with you all in Portland but it just didn’t happen this year. Huge sigh!!!
Your shawl is just gorgeous.
