[@notthatgullible4244]

It is lovely. I think Egyptian cotton would make this even more dazzling. I have a friend in Egypt and she was very impressed with the final shawl. Thank you for your time, expertise and patience.

[@OpheliaTalks]

@notthatgullible4244 I'm so glad your friend liked the shawl, thank you, Anja x

[@terrylibbey611]

This stitch pattern is so pretty. I think it would work beautifully for curtain panels as well as a wrap.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Yes, I think it would too, you'll have to try it Terry, and let us know how it goes! Thank you, Anja x

[@sarahjs]

Thank you, Anja! This is beautiful and I'm glad you gave the instruction on how to do a sampler because the yarn I started with was good to learn on but definitely the wrong fiber to drape well. It's really a fun repeat so I will find a better yarn and start with the full size. 😊. You are an excellent teacher and you are correct that your second round was helpful to see the repeat fall together again.

[@OpheliaTalks]

You are so welcome Sarah! Thank you for watching, Anja x

[@solveigw]

I tried to follow along with a sampler of my own, but I managed to loose 2 stitches between rows 5 and 6. Had to redo and I *think* I figured out what I did wrong. But will definitively have to count my way through this one before I get the hang of it! eta: If there ever was a reality show about crocheting, it would have to be called "So you think you can count?"

[@OpheliaTalks]

Yes Solveig, sometimes it's easy to lose a stitch, counting is a must, until you get used to the pattern, Anja x

[@hirakelshikar3534]
