Painswick Shawl

​…another project finished.

Well, almost, probably just needs a bit of a block, but I couldn’t wait to share the photos.


The pattern is by Veronika Cromwell of Blue Star Crochet

Veronika did her shawl with a gradient yarn cake, I used Stylecraft Head Over Heels All Stars in Saltaire

I really enjoyed making this, it was one of those projects that you could just crochet away without much thinking of following a complicated pattern, once you’ve got the hang of the stitch repeat it was just such a pleasure to crochet. One of those that you can do in front of the TV or even when you’re in company and chatting with people.

This shawl goes perfectly with the fingerless gloves I made some time ago. Mystical Mitts by HanJan Crochet.
