Fete du Printemps Ta-dah

After crocheting what feels like millions of Elsa Frozen hats over the last few months not to mention all the other types of hat. I really felt like pushing myself a bit more. There are so many different things i can just make whilst i am watching TV in the evening and i suppose i have just hit a bit of a rut with them, i still love crochet and can't imagine ever being with out it now and i still have my stripy blanket on the go for when i really don't want to have to concentrate but every now and then i like to stretch myself. So when picking out a pattern for a shawl/ scarf for my mums Christmas pressie this one looked like the ticket.

The pattern is from Ravelry and its the first paid for pattern i have had off there. There was a lovely little poem on the first page and the pattern was excellent and had both chart and written pattern. You can find it here http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fete-du-printemps


I chose a variegated yarn that i thought would be both easy and look gorgeous. It was Drops Delight in Autumn.

Due to all the orders i had, i didn't get chance to start it till mid December and i finished it at 9pm on Christmas eve! The last row took two hours!!!!

 

Unfortunately the pictures don't do it justice or the yarn color.

Hope you like it too xx
