this child of mine.

My oldest daughter wanted to make a shawl and since I'm a big fan of crochet designer, Bernadette Ambergen, I directed her to Bernadette's crochet patterns. Bernadette has a beautiful collection of crochet shawl patterns to choose from so it was hard deciding. In the end she went with Wisteria, and this is her finished project. Isn't it gorgeous?

 

 

Unfortunately, I the yarn was unmarked, so the only yarn details that I can give you is that it is a sea foam green cotton.

 

 

 

 

So inspiring....but sadly neither Tara or I will have a much time for hook and yarn this month :( Don't despair we still have plans for you!!!

Last week Susan from www.CrochetAddictuk.com hosted a give-away on our behalf. Not only did we have a wonderful time getting to know Susan, but some very happy crocheter walked away with 10 free patterns from our Etsy shop (knotsewcute.etsy.com). Sooooo.....just in case you missed our Facebook announcement, the winner of the giveaway for 10 free crochet patterns was Glee D.

Glee mentioned to us that she has joined lots of giveaways, but this is the first time that she has won, so congratulations Glee!!!!!

And a big thank-you to everyone for participating!!!
