Angel Wings Shawl Mini Cal

ANGEL WINGS SHAWL CAL

WRAP YOURSELF OR A FRIEND IN LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP

LINK TO INTRODUCTION HERE

Pattern part 1: Monday 19th December and will take approx.  half an hour to and hour to complete, each part will follow every other day and take around the same amount of time to complete depending on your speed and experience

Yarn Required: Approx. 200grams of any space dyed yarn, from sock wool to Aran all giving a different size shawl....
Measurements: all measurements are unblocked and relaxed they will be bigger when blocked

A Sample selection of random/space dyed yarns but any brand would be OK for this design a shorter dye spacing will show the rows in different colours best but a longer spacing will look good by the end, giving a subtle colour change

 This is Merry-Go-Round dk 4mm hook

Measures unblocked:11.5" 29cm by 6" 15.25cm

This next one is in James C Brett Marble Yarn 5mm hook

unblocked measures:11.5" 29cm by 6.5" 16.5cm

These next 2 are in the yarn i got from Pound Stretcher not as soft as some of the others but when soaked in conditioner for a few minutes and dried is perfectly acceptable yarn and a reasonable price too especially the larger ball of Aran

First one is labeled dk but is just about the same as the yarn in the picture below labeled Aran both made with a 5mm hook

measures 14" 35.5cm across 8.5" 21.5cm deep

this next one is in a super soft King Cole Drifter 

 4mm hook and measures:11.5" 29cm across 6.5" 16.5cm deep

                                 you get interesting blocks of natural colours and feels lovely

This next one is an Indie yarn, hand dyed from Truly Hooked and a 4mm hook

Measures: 9.5" 24cm across and  5.5" 14cm deep

The Angel Wings Shawl could be made in sock wool too, sorry not managed a sample yet

All the samples in the pictures are of parts 1 and 2 and would take approximately just over the hour to make form someone with a reasonable speed. a little longer for a beginner

Hope you will join the fun

Skipton, Yarndale, Truly Hooked, Ananuca, Dog Daisy Chains and White Rose Knitting Group.

I went to SKIPTON for 4 days last week to 'do' Yarndale, a bit of sight seeing and catch up with friends and my sleep. Had a wonderful time, not my favourite day on the Saturday bit like sardines i'm afraid but the atmosphere was buzzing, Sunday was a far better day if you wanted to see the stands in all their glory and chat with the stall holders. We stopped at the Travelodge almost next to the show, within walking distance in fact. Said Hello to  crochet designers and friends Jane Crowfoot and Amanda  Perkins.....lots more to come about these two wonderful designers soon.

We had most of our meals at Keelhan Farm Shop right next door between us and the show.
visited a few fabulous beauty spots, went to the cute vintage looking cinema to see Bridget Jones' Baby. Slept a lot, chatted a lot and crocheted a lot too.

I bought some wonderful yarns from Truly Hooked,  who will be at Ally Pally this week too, cya there.

A fabulous necklace from 

Añañuca 

Who won best stand in show

I bought a beautiful embroidered brooch from Dog Daisy Chains I've been admiring these stunners for years..now i own one too worn it every day since i bought it.

We had a couple of trips into Skipton only a 5minute bus ride into town, and found a fabulous wool shop. Sold in yarn packs mostly, thanks Julie you have a wonderful shop and the prices are fabulous...bit like pick and mix but we couldn't stay away lol.
