Katy's Noro Shawl

A couple of months ago I blogged about my Noro Shawl. The yarn was a pain to work with, but the finished project was great. It inspired this beautiful shawl, crocheted by Katy.



Don't you just love the colorway she chose. It looks gorgeous. The pattern was found here on Ravelry.

Here is a photo from the pattern



and here is my version (if you don't want to go back to my original post)





I love the look of the Noro, but still have no desire to work with it again (yet)

If you have a project you would like me to blog about...just send me a photo or link. I would love to blog about any projects inspired by my patterns or projects.

Check back with me. I am having a giveaway in a few days. I'll be giving away an actual item this time, not a pattern.

Have a great week!

    Thank you for posting your pattern! Without it I couldn't have made the shawl, I wear it prety much all the time and look forward to making another one, in the future. :)

    I love the colours of both shawls, very beautiful. I hear Noro is very difficult to work with and so I've never tried it.

      Hello Gaby,

      If you want to read about my frustration as I worked with it, you can go to the original post. I think I linked back to it above in this post. If not, I'll just say that it feels a little rough before wetting or blocking. It tangles up and there are so many thin, thick spots throughout the skein. I do warm up to it after wetting while blocking. When it dries, it feels softer. The colorways are the only reason that I use the stuff.
      Thanks,
      Liz
