FO: Garden Path Crocheted Shawl

This is actually 2009 project (read my previous post about this project) but I just finished writing the pattern today. I am really exciting about this project. It had a very difficult start but in the end it is really worth all the trouble. I made 2 versions, one is larger than the other. This is the smaller or scarf version.



Pattern: Garden Path Crocheted Shawl
Source: It will be ready next month (I hope)
Materials: Miami Four Season 100% Cotto. Color 18 (blue) dyelot 203
Qty: 2 x 50 gram (110 m/120 yards per ball) I split the yarn into 3, so total I have 720 yards
Needles: Clover Hook size 3.5 (E)
Start Date: 2 December 2009
Finish Date: 17 December 2009

As usual I need testers for this. I need tester for the scarf version and also for the shawl version. I need tester that able to follow the written instruction only. Although the final pattern will have the nice diagram as always, I want to make sure that people can understand my written instruction. To tell you the truth, I actually can not understand my own written instruction, so I really need testers that ready to have headache.

Anybody????

Update:
I forgot to tell you the finished size.
Scarf: 47" across top edge, 23" long from centre top to point
Shawl: 84" across top edge, 40" long from centre top to point

And please let me know your email address so I can contact you.

Update:
I have enough testers.

It's beautiful-I would love to test it, but if time is of the essence, I can't, but look forward to the pattern.

What is the "weight" of the yarn used (eg, fingering, sport)

Cathy said...

I would love to be a tester on your patterns. I've only been crocheting for a year but I believe that I'm pretty good at it but maybe not the fastest in the world. However, I'm a disabled stay at home woman who has a lot of time. LOL

Lily said...
