YAY!
SQUEEEEE!
I cannot believe it!
So.. this is my first official crochet project.
Self taught about a month ago or so from youtube.
I think I love crochet. A lot.
Now.. don't look too closely, you could find an error or two, but I do not care.
And it is for my mother for Mother's Day and her birthday.. same day..today!

How did I do??

Let's see..
Just like with knitting, I can't just follow the pattern.

this is the edging..

This is the body..

And I used Queensland Uluru-color 18.

This was before it was finished, but you get the idea. And I am desperately searching for my next project. Aack!

It looks more complicated than I'm ready for, though. Can you share the pattern? Pretty please?

It is the Virus Shawl.. www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/virus-shawl---virustuch
I love it. It is great fun to do.

And it's easy peasy.
No written pattern though, just a chart and a couple of videos.
But you'll get the repeat 4 rows in no time.
