Having said that, I am glad you were able to write and share with us your amazing shawl!

I have another shawl that is mainly worn for snuggling up in on the sofa, but I think this one is too pretty to be kept indoors for the winter so I'll have to persevere with trying to be more elegant!Ruth - Nightingale and Dolittlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06598582222979563780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492251489122148012.post-48092333602607564292015-09-24T08:57:38.976+01:002015-09-24T08:57:38.976+01:00Thank you!Thank you!Ruth - Nightingale and Dolittlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06598582222979563780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492251489122148012.post-68727220620207916712015-09-24T08:57:07.308+01:002015-09-24T08:57:07.308+01:00Thank you Jo!

And thank you for the tips about shawls in general - I'm coming to the conclusion that I think you're right about smaller triangular shawls and larger semi-circular ones. I'll check out the Ravelry forums too - I should have thought to look there!Ruth - Nightingale and Dolittlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06598582222979563780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492251489122148012.post-79031415590855541742015-09-24T08:51:31.435+01:002015-09-24T08:51:31.435+01:00Thank you!

In the winter I tend to only wear them indoors. Keeping them on the sofa to wrap round when I watch telly!

I love the shadow it casts in that first photo. Weaving in the ends as you go is definitely a wise idea. The thought of weaving in 2,000 ends would make most folk cry!<br /><br />I tend to wear scarves more than shawls so can't really pass on much styling wisdom, but I imagine it would look great pinned with a fun brooch.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07922950133889230965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492251489122148012.post-32927109981344660952015-09-22T19:32:45.076+01:002015-09-22T19:32:45.076+01:00Your shawl is so cheery!

I've found that I prefer to make small shawls/scarves that are triangular so that they can be tied around my neck bandana-style, and larger shawls that are semi-circular so that I can wear them draped around my shoulders. I don't wear use shawl pins, but lots of people swear by them to keep a shawl on. The one thing that throws me off are triangular shawls where the point is too deep and narrow; I have one like that and I'm still not really sure how to make it work! There are a couple of old but oft-referenced threads on the Ravelry forums about how to wear shawls - maybe take a peek and see if they have any clever ideas?Caitlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05252532446979150096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492251489122148012.post-64058565248510097282015-09-22T19:16:36.143+01:002015-09-22T19:16:36.143+01:00Wowsers!!

The flowers and colours are lovely, and yey to lunchtime crocheting. I made most of my crochet blanket at lunchtimes.Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891063381064955827noreply@blogger.com
