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.
