Finally pics to the shawls and other things.

Wow, there is way too much going on here. There is only 48 days left until the wedding and all the final plans are being done. My daughter is driving me bananas. I still need to finish 2 more of the watermellon shawls and try and make another evening shawl for her mother-in-law to be, as well as make one for myself. Unless everyone in this house will leave me alone, I don't forsee that happening. But you never know.

I have Tiffany's shawl and pattern listed, no it is not my pattern. It is a pattern from Mary Maxim, http://www.marymaxim.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10054_3074457345616780242_-1_3074457345616693277_3074457345616693278. You must register with them, it's free, and you need to adobe because it is a pdf file. I did alter it a bit. Instead of single crochet, I used double, and I extended the width and length. I made the width 15 inches, and because I crochet so tight I tripled the beginning pattern stitches. I used Patons Brilliant in crystal cream and it is gorgeous if I say so myself. OH wait, I am saying so. LOL

Tatiana's shawl is in the same yarn and it's called the old fashioned shawl, and can be found here http://web.archive.org/web/20000619100725/www.craftown.com/cropat2.htm This is also the shawl I am making for all the bridesmaids. Theirs will be in Carons simply soft, watermellon. I just adjusted Tatian's size to fit her, she is only 5 and small.

The black shawl is made from a yarn I had, which I have no clue what kind it was. It's black knitting worsted with silver shot thru it. The patern can be found here, http://www.craftown.com/crochet/pat51.htm The stitches in this are gorgeous. In the first picture you can't quite see them, so I did a close up with white paper underneath.

Got my newest fur member yesterday. We had to drive about an hour and a half to get to the place, but she is so worth it. I have a picture of her as well. She's 7 weeks old and a little ball of puff. She's a grey tuxedo medium hair, and we named her Dusty. Lucifer thinks she's his toy and tries to kick her butt. But let me tell you, she is one tuff little cookie. She hisses at him and gives him more than he can handle. My family is now complete, or I should say, will be after Tiffany gets married. :) Well, I'm off to crochet some more and hopefully soon, I will be done with these and can make something special for myself. Yeah right, like that will ever happen. Somebody always needs or could use something, and I love to crochet that I just have to say, sure.
Ciao for now
