Golden Queen Progress

Here is the progress I have made on this one so far.  Has a long way to go still but it is neat with the modifications I made to the pattern.  It is hard to tell in these  photos but there is much more texture in this shawl as opposed to the other one. The other shawl has a much more refined look to it which I like as well.

Errata for snow queen

I am posting this more for the Ravelry downloads than my blog readers because I will go and correct the blog post in a few seconds.

was:
3. (right side) chain 6 sc in 3rd chain from hook (counts as first treble and first picot

should be:
3. (right side) chain 7 sc in 3rd chain from hook (counts as first treble and first picot

french errata in comments below

yellow wool snow queen

Making a slight modification to the pattern instead of placing the sc around the treble crochet posts one row below as with row 4 going around post of the treble crochet on row three. Row four is going around treble crochet posts of row 2 and row 7 is going around the posts on line 5 and so on through out the pattern. I am hoping this will make the 3-D effect larger and more prominent and the fans more free to move.

Because I am using a much larger yarn I am also using a much larger hook; this should progress much faster.

If I was doing this with the same size thread as the other three snow queens I am working, because the shells/fans overlap more it would actually take more time and more yarn to do it that way. However, it would be very lovely that way; I may still do it, but I might want to do that in size 30 thread instead.

Because this is yellow wool I just could not bring myself to call this the yellow snow queen shawl; just too many bad images there. ;0)

Snow Queen/ Medium Neck Shawl

I have the snow queen to the point where it could be worn as a medium neck shawl/scarf. Progress has been made but, of course, each round takes longer and longer to do. So progress posts will not be as frequent.

At this size it could also be used as a small hip scarf. I actually like to wear hip scarves a lot.
