Work in Progress

In a previous post, I mentioned about some projects I am working on. I'd like to share where I am exactly at. Here goes...

I saw a pretty shawlette pattern at Interweave Crochet designed by Kristin Omdahl. Not only is it pretty, the diagram looks easy to follow too. The pattern called for some silk yarns but I used a japanese yarn of cotton and white pine fiber blend . My brother got some stashes for me in Singapore.

(Note to myself, I should be taking pictures with natural lighting the next time). This pattern uses simple single chains and single crochet stitches only, but what makes it interesting is how the pattern develops like the veins of a leaf as the shawl increases in width and length. Its delicate and sweet.  

A couple more rounds and edging, this shawlette will be done. I spent about  3 hours to get this done. But this might be a work in progress for some time yet because I ran out of yarn. So I sent an SOS to my brother. I'm crossing my fingers, hoping the yarn is not discontinued or the same dye lot is still available since he bought the yarns about a year ago.

Hope to post the final outcome - using the same yarn or probably a substitute which is not an option I would like to take. Otherwise, there's also the option of unraveling  everything....
