South Bay Shawlette

Because I seem to be in the mood to crochet these days...
and
I can't get enough of shawls...
here's one more.
This is the
that I just had to make.
It's just lovely and so versatile.
I can see why so many of you are making it yourself.
are the two who inspired me.
Thanks Girls!
I'm in LOVE.
For this first one I used Berroco Vintage in a DK weight.
{Notice I said "first one"... I just might be working on a second one ...}
The gorgeous Dusty Teal really makes me happy.
You can find the pattern on
If you love to crochet shawls,
this one is a
must.

    1. Thanks Lynne! It took a skein and a half. I just decided to purchase my blog domain and....UGH!!! ALL of my followers AND ALL of the blogs I follow have disappeared on me... I hardly know where to begin!
      So if you follow me, can you RE follow me now with my new address... rosepetaltea.com

  2. Hi Danette! I have this blog domain on my blog roll and it clicks me to you. I think your gadget will come back. If friends click on your name when you leave them a comment, they can click over to Rose Petal Tea and find you. I really don't "get" the followers thing. I have never understood how it works or why it's important. Silly me.

    1. Oh WONDERFUL! As long as you can still find me then I am SO HAPPY!!! Thank you so much Miss Pom Pom, you have helped me tremendously. And maybe within 24 hours it will right itself... At first my blog roll disappeared as well but I was able to recover that pretty quickly.

  4. Hey Danette. I see the blog has had a spring makeover:) The corner flowers at the top look fab. As does this shawl. Teal is such a versatile colour and I have a soft spot for all in the family of blues and greys and greens.
    Enjoy a splendid Sunday with your loved ones.

    1. Hello Arti ~
      I am so happy you like my new blog look! I decided it was time for a change. As for the shawl, I can't get enough of these colors myself. Soothing... they are so soothing to me.
      You enjoy your loved ones as well. I believe it may be into the new week for you already???
