Great blog.<BR/><BR/>Is there a crochet version for this pattern?Maribelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17170702678448382371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540626234869375033.post-82631490468886231562007-10-05T17:36:00.000-06:002007-10-05T17:36:00.000-06:00Thanks!I wish I could claim that the shadow thing ...Thanks!<BR/><BR/>I wish I could claim that the shadow thing was deliberate. It was a happy accident. The shadow gives a better view of the shawl than the actual shawl.<BR/><BR/>I love knitting with my handspun. I am lucky enough to be able to spin fairly fine yarns when I want to. I'm also perfectly content making lacy shawls from thicker yarns. I have several other batches of handspun destined to be turned into lace.<BR/><BR/>I still have the initial batch of yarn I used for this but didn't have enough of. It looked great. Too bad it didn't work out.jphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00756004461717514952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540626234869375033.post-19766524964896109102007-10-04T23:59:00.000-06:002007-10-04T23:59:00.000-06:00Your shawl is spectacular!

Quite breathtaking.Lacefreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291336363387079445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540626234869375033.post-16959215734110105962007-09-29T15:37:00.000-06:002007-09-29T15:37:00.000-06:00I love the photo.

Some is incredibly uneven. The roving I used for this particular batch of yarn was very well-prepared and thus was easy to spin evenly.<BR/><BR/>As for doing the Hyrna Herborgar -- go for it! It's a lot of fun and it looks very impressive when you've finished.jphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00756004461717514952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540626234869375033.post-66950763255558342262007-09-28T19:48:00.000-06:002007-09-28T19:48:00.000-06:00Wow, that's handspun??

I did see that a lot of people are enjoying knitting the Hyrna. Maybe me too?Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02904270027444384873noreply@blogger.com
