Welcome to day 4!! I finished this one very early this morning (or late last night) as a birthday gift to my mom. We saw something similar at the arts festival this summer (for $100!!!) made from bamboo yarn. I said that I could make something similar, and mom put in her order. :)
I had to do a little research on yarn and stitches since I am very inexperienced in crocheting. My Gram taught me way back when, and I never moved past a single stitch. Thanks to Youtube, Amazon, and Pinterest, I found what I needed.
Original pin:
This is one that I found - needle in a haystack - and used as an inspiration.
For the yarn, I used Paton's Lace Yarn in Patina . And here is the link to the stitch I used: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUpzGnj2eH8 . It took me several weeks, only being able to work in the evenings after the kids were in bed. I started out a little rocky on the ends, but then got my act together, haha. It is very versatile and can be worn at least 6 different ways that I can think of.
I had always wanted to be a model of some sort. And now I am an aspiring photographer. However, I did not want to be both at the same time. But when you have no choice, you do what you have to!
The results:
the shawl
the double wrap
the vest
the twist
the reverse shawl
the hood
Success! She likes it! Now I need to make one for myself and a little one for E. :)
Expense rating: less than $10
Difficulty rating: easy if you know how to crochet, moderate if you don't
