The first part of the Chenise Shawl crochet-a-long was released, it was the center motif square.
First, I did a gauge swatch, which I don’t normally do for a shawl, but since the yarn was hand dyed & special ordered, I don’t want to take a chance of running out.
My gauge was a little big, so I decided to switch from the recommended 5.0mm hook, to a 4.5mm. I didn’t re-check the gauge so I hope I went down in hook size enough.
I really like this yarn, it’s such a beautiful shade of blue, with little darker blue specks throughout. The pictures don’t really show how pretty it is.
I also liked the square motif pattern. It was well written, easy & fun to crochet.
