Hello everyone,
On the title are the theme of the yarns I recently dyed and are now available for purchase. It took me months to prepare these much and the progress continues InsyaAllah. My job is so much fun, Alhamdulillah.

This is a modification of the green lacy granny I made last year. I am still using a lace yarn, still crocheted tightly using the smallest size of crochet hook. The change I made was on the number of starting chains and stitches in the first round and changing the 2nd round into dc instead of cluster.
Yarn: Lace/Sport/Size 5 crochet thread will do. While typing this I was thinking to make another one as soon as I have a chance in bulky size yarns or T-Yarn for a cushion cover!
Hook: B/2.25mm
Term: US
Merry is not very particular about the motifs and leave it to me to decide. I did my research for one to compliment her dress and found one from a stitch dictionary. I redraw the chart and make each row colorful for easy interpretation.
I could have made the shawl wider but at the time I started I was not sure if the skeins I have would be enough (6 skeins of 25 gr silk/merino/kid mohair yarn). But now I know. I only used 4.5 skeins for the shawl and the 8 inches fringe.
This shawl has been tested. Here is a beautiful shawl Kalpana Chitharanjan of Ravelry made using acrylic.
