Getting back into crochet and really happy with how this shawl is turning out!! Pic isn’t great because it’s getting kinda big but I’ll post a better one once it’s done. It’s been fun to count out my stitches to my four month old, they love it lol

Been using this pattern! https://woolpedia.de/products/virustuch-hakelanleitung-video--pdf PDF is not free but the videos are I think

Yarn is Scheepjes frosted whirl in Paars color

I know absolutely nothing about knitting. What I do know though is that that looks really freaking cool! The pattern and color gradient are super aesthetically pleasing.

Thank you!! My partner picked the colors she’s got good taste

What a lovely shawl! I'm sure the little one enjoys the counting haha Care-Comrade

Aw shucks!! And oh yeah counting is up there with staring at cieling fans and chewing on my fingers lol

Very cool! What makes it a virus shawl?

[–] Commie_Chameleon@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Thank you!! It’s called that because it spreads like a virus. First chunk of the pattern is actually that one circle at the base of the purple. It then radiates out from there.

I kinda had the urge to get into knitting as of late. Nice one

The cooler weather does it for me. It’s super cozy doing fiber crafts in the fall!

Ooooh that’s wonderful! Really like that gradient yarn! My partner got into crochet within the past few years, we have so many cozy blankets around the house now hahaha.

Thanks! This is my first big project, having a ton of cozy blankets around is my dream
