HELPING A FRIEND


         My friend crocheted the body of this shawl, but was unable to decipher the directions for the lace edges.  I typed the directions in a large easy-to-read format for her, but soon realized that she did not have enough crocheting experience to make the lace.
        I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of completing this beautiful shawl.  The pattern is "On the Town Shawl" from redheart.com.  It is rated EASY.  I found the directions to be accurate, but a bit difficult to follow.
        This lovely shawl will be a late Christmas present for her daughter's MIL who lives in St. Louis and truly enjoys wearing shawls.

That looks so nice with your black outfit you need to crochet one for yourself. You did a great job finishing it.
