I am a big fan of Doris Chan. I just purchased a pattern book from Filatura Di Crosa Superior Crochet, and I can not wait to get it in the mail.
The book came out last year with stunning designs, and the cover is beautiful. I love lace and am going to be challenging my self to some new patterns.
Back to Doris Chan, I found this pattern on Ravelry for free. She seems to be a really nice lady, and a great designer. I also just started following her blog @ Everday Crochet.
To make the shawl a little more dressy I decided to make a pretty bow, with some nice ribbon, and I added in a pearl (that I had purchased a long time ago @ my local bead shop.) The green "pearls" on the outside I am sure are fake.... but who has to know? I think it gives the shawl a little bit of "vintage" and it is fun to put your own signature "stamp" on crochet patterns.
