Beautiful shawls…….I have recently picked my crochet hooks up again. After losing my mom it was pretty hard. But I find that I can stay connected with her through crocheting. We had so much fun crocheting and sharing ideas we both had. Beautiful memories and I will keep them going. Thanks for sharing your blog with everyone, it’s so nice and I so enjoy it. ❤️💐🦋
Love these shawls
Me too Diana! They are so gorgeous and I hope to buy some nice yarn so I can make a few for myself 🙂
