I made some smaller shorter versions which go around the neck and you wear it to the front! Nice and cosy!<br />Have added your blog to my list!<br />Ingrid xxIngrid K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10141647083619348121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1322502097819585224.post-58319068463517743882014-08-22T00:18:03.111-07:002014-08-22T00:18:03.111-07:00Beautiful shawl, it has been on my list for a long...Beautiful shawl, it has been on my list for a long time!

Where are you from originally?<br /><br />Yes, the question of a border is a tricky one! I have made several versions of the South Bay Shawlette, but so far I only added a fancy border to one of them (in the same colour as the shawl itself).<br /><br />Right now I started on another Shawl from the book PUUR haken (see also here: http://myfunkycrochet.blogspot.be/2014/08/enjoy-little-things-puur-haken-and.html) - however after hours of crochet I came to realize that with the yarn I chose it would take forever, so I started a new one which I will post about soon, and I think that I will add a different coloured contrast border this time.<br /><br />Good luck with your shawl!<br />Ingrid xIngrid K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10141647083619348121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1322502097819585224.post-85579306270563762872014-08-17T03:33:42.126-07:002014-08-17T03:33:42.126-07:00Hi Ingrid!

I also started crocheting a shawl but I haven't finished it because I haven't decided if it needs a border or not. So it stays in my wool basket until I've made a decision.

Haha, the blanket went straight to a new home where it belongs! I chose these 'neutral' colours since I wanted to avoid it being too pinky and girly! <br /><br />However, I was thinking to myself, should I make a blanket for the cats??? What!!! I reckon I better make one for myself first! I must get some more practice. <br /><br />Talking about practice, today I made yet another pair of potholders, in yet a different colour scheme (Pastels plus neutrals), completed in one day. <br /><br />So what is it that you need to finish off? Please do tell.... (only if you want to, of course!)Ingrid K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10141647083619348121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1322502097819585224.post-24876855438088352232014-08-12T14:19:16.825-07:002014-08-12T14:19:16.825-07:00Wow you have finished some gorgeous projects Ingri...Wow you have finished some gorgeous projects Ingrid! I love the shades you have used in the pot holders. Your baby blanket is beautiful-such soothing shades. Jasper thinks you made it for him-I can't see him relinquishing it any time soon! The shawl is so pretty, what a lovely make. It is a good feeling to finish off projects...I really must follow your inspiration! xx Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06776307610869291302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1322502097819585224.post-64926730112925394882014-08-12T11:37:42.153-07:002014-08-12T11:37:42.153-07:00Hi Gillian, oh, glad to hear weather is improving ...Hi Gillian, oh, glad to hear weather is improving over at yours. Today we went out to Gent with our visitor, but we still had some rain showers in the afternoon. All in all we were lucky that the sun came back out soon afterwards. <br /><br />You made 2 blankets already? I must admit this was my first one!<br />I'm looking forward to seeing them on your blog when you are ready! Do you tend to make them all to a specific size? In hindsight I was wondering whether I should have made it a bit smaller!?Ingrid K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10141647083619348121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1322502097819585224.post-61301155575883836822014-08-11T23:50:05.921-07:002014-08-11T23:50:05.921-07:00We had terrible weather at the weekend too but it ...We had terrible weather at the weekend too but it seems to be improving now. I love your potholders and baby blanket. The shawl is beautiful - such a gorgeous colour. I've finished two blankets but need to take pictures before posting about them. I'm working on two other blankets as well.Gillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13234219836891799676noreply@blogger.com
