Clare has been cranking out crocheted items since learning to crochet in January. I’m amazed at how gratifying she seems to find it! At the same time, I am very slowly finishing a few things. I worked on this shawl on and off for months.

The pattern is the Falling Blossoms Shawl, by Ana D. The yarn is a wool/nylon 4 ply sock yarn from Bendigo Woollen Mills, in the shade Cottage Garden. It took about a ball and a half.

This pattern has pleasing repetition and adds detail with the little eyelets then the flowers. It’s basically filet crochet, I suppose. I used the leftover yarn to crochet a Stellar Beret.
