Hello everyone! Finally, I got the chance to rewrite my post. I spent two hours (from 1am top 3 am) to write this piece last week but the page refreshed and I lost all my hard work.
Also, I had a short vacation with my family as we attended a family reunion on my mother's side. I'm very excited to share the experiences with you but as of now, I am still overwhelmed by our adventures
Last year, I made my mother a crocheted shawl using a 4ply soft indophil yarn in her favorite color and she loved my work. Yet she asked me to add some extension on it because it's a bit short on the arm's side when she uses it.
Finally, this year, after months of being lazy and pausing for crochet, I got my crojo back and made my mom's shawl's extension and did it at work and finished it on the same day at night. I brought it at work and worked during the times that I am vacant with my work.
Sadly, I ran out of the same colored yarn but my Ma agreed I add yellow color yarn and I think the colors go well with each other.
This is me, very proud of my work! My husband is my photographer using our cellphone camera on this.
To add a design on the edge,I added a picot in every two stitches and it turned out so well!
This is me so excited to wear the project I just finished the night I finished working them. Pardon the mess.
The pictures were taken the following morning
My mom brought the shawl with her on our travel but I did not caught her wearing them as she took great care of it, afraid of ruining its beauty. I may have missed the chance to get a good photo of my work but perhaps there will be more chances someday.
I am pretty proud of what I made, and I hope I will be able to make some more!
That's beautifully made! I have no patience for crochet, cross stitch or embroideries. Just didn't have a hand for it but I always adore things made by hand. Congrats on your new creation! 👏
thanks! Someone appreciating handworks are seldom! What's something you like to do then?
Solving puzzles and designing stuff like websites and games 😅 try to search "Japanese artisan" on youtube and you'll feel that spirit of taking time to make something. I admire that kind of mindfulness, which I also get when solving puzzles
Wow that’s a really beautiful shawl
The pattern is really nice
And I love the colors you used
I’m sorry you spent so much time to make a post only for it to be refreshed
Some of us do it in our notes and transfer it here to avoid that
Wow, your shawl is beautiful! I feel bad for the refresh and loss of your work. The same thing has happened to me on several occasions and it is frustrating lol. Keep up the good work!
shit happens but it's now okay. Thank you so much for your appreciation on my shawl
I understand perfectly how you felt when you took up crochet again to knit, I had the same feeling for years and although today I can not knit with the same intensity, I do not let that spark go out, I congratulate you for your work and seeing your face I can imagine your mother's face.
