Nice shot! Upped and steemed

I like the choice of roving yarn, it gives the shawl an incredibly soft look.

Thanks @dswigle! Corner-to-corner blankets are done in one piece, rather than stitching multiple pieces together, and they are crocheted on the diagonal. Changing colors is a matter of switching yarn,

Practice makes perfect-ish? If I remember correctly, I went overkill with this blanket and used a russian join, which does not create a tail, though you have to get used to calculating exactly where the

It is a great pattern to learn; it is just a combination of chain, slip, and double crochet and even a few simple stripes add pizzazz to it.

Thanks! It was looking a bit circus-y before I added those green stripes in the middle. Apparently it was a bit too bright. :)

One of the great things about these types of blankets is that they usually turn out looking "right" even if they are not symmetrical. If you are having issues making it symmetrical, abandon that

Incredible stitchwork! Do you freehand or use a pattern?

Any time :)

Very cleverly done, indeed. It really does look more complicated. I might have to put this in my queue to give it a try; at the very least I need to add that ribbing to my repertoire. Thanks!

Congrats on starting to make yarn money. It is always a great feeling to be able to make money off of something that your enjoy. Did you work top-down or bottom-up and did you start with a chain or foundation

I love it when a plan comes together! Great save with the lining; it is amazing what a difference a simple change can make.

Great tutorial! I love the detailed step-by-step images, and really, who can turn down a scrap yarn project. :) Might I suggest using multiple colours to make the separate pieces more defined? For
