Crochet: Shawl: Sigrid Shawl



I am always a litle apprehensive when I am about to embark on a new crochet project, especially one that is totally new to me. There is always the worry that something will go wrong, that I will not be up to it, that I will have difficulty understanding the pattern or instructions, that I will make bad mistakes. You know, the usual things people always worry about whether or not they will actually materialise. But where crochet is concerned, unfortunately, it does happen. To me. I always end up having to undo to redo the first few rows. Scratch that. Few is an understatement. I consider myself lucky if it is only a few rows or so.

The good thing is, once I get past the initial - terrible and tiring but necessary - stage of getting myself familiar with the pattern and repeating work, it is exhilarating. Crocheting a shawl is both fulfilling and rewarding. Not only do I get to have a beautiful piece of practical end product, I get to enjoy the peace and calm and meditative effect of the process.

This Sigrid Shawl is a work of art. It is brilliantly created by My Crochetory to provide both familiarity and variety to keep the person working on it relaxed and entertained at the same time. If you are looking to crochet a shawl with a meditative stitch pattern but one that is not so repetitive as to be boring, this is the one for you.
