Unfinished Heirloom



I started this circular shawl a few months ago and have yet to finish. I must profess that even though I really do enjoy crocheting, I have such a short summer season were I live that I can not see spending much time crocheting.... I love playing in the garden or playing a game outside with my kids.

This is a shawl I am making for my Aunt Deborah. Her favorite color is purple so when I bought the yarn I had her in mind. I know the fibers are called Kidlin, a combination of kid mohair and linen but I can not remember the brand right now.

What I love most about this shawl so far is the spiral pattern in the middle. Also what I love about it is that I was inspired by two designer's (my favorite of course) Doris Chan and Kristen Omdahl.

I had recently just finished the circular floral lace shawl and I understood what Kristin was trying to teach about exploding a motif.

I can not wait to finish this pattern when I have some more selfish time to spend watching a chick flick and crocheting, what do you think?

This is my design my pattern. There is alway's a time for a first!

All artist's have some form of inspiration, this is what I'm told.
