Crochet: Winter Warmth Shawl…

Crochet: Winter Warmth Shawl is my latest crochet project…

it's made out of 'faux' mohair.

I know, I know…

why would I want to make anything out 'faux'???

Well…

Apart from the cheaper

price tag,

the faux is a lot stronger than real mohair

so it's resistant to my man hands.

oh, and I really liked the colour.

This particular 'faux' mohair

is by Lincraft, and is called Winter Warmth.

It's 100% Acrylic Mohair.

 (oooer)

The shawl pattern I used is Japanese,

& is very easy to make

even with all the fluff…and my man hands.

(naturally)

Side note

For those of you new to Sewing Daisies, I only crochet from

Japanese books.

That's because;

a) Japanese crochet books & patterns are beautiful

b) I can only crochet from pictograms

(True!)

oh, and I have no idea

what crochet stitches are officially called.

 (true again!)

So if you have ever thought that

crochet was for 'experts' think again,

if I can crochet, anyone can!

(really, you can)

 Anyway, if you have a free weekend and

don't fancy moving off the couch.

Why not make yourself a lovely shawl?!

I did,

but I will be wearing mine as a scarf. 

 What do you think?
