Review: Just love these beautiful, innovative shawl patterns! - The most beautiful, romantic-looking crocheted shawls I have ever seen. I'm crocheting one right now. I love looking through the book too, as each shawl is modeled from several perspectives, in color. The models are dressed beautifully and the settings are very poetic, like the title of the book. The instructions are excellent, with simple stitches making up the patterns. The only thing I had to figure out for myself was using a half double crochet stitch as the foundation row. I have always chained a long chain, and used that as a foundation row. But in the book, you create the foundation with the half double crochet. Most of the shawls call for more expensive yarns, such as those with part linen, silk, etc. However I found less expensive yarns made of 100% acrylic of the same weight of the expensive yarns, so the cheaper yarns are the right thickness and weight for the designs. The patterns are very innovative. The one I am crocheting now is shaped by the increase rows, so that it hangs nicely. Also the shapes are most often an irregular shape, created just for the specific shawl and yarn weight. The book also has excellent pages on wet shaping your finished shawl, using pins to hold it in place til it dries, in order to bring out the full beauty of the patterns. I just love this book.
Review: One of the Best I Have - No exaggeration--I probably have at least 200 knitting & crochet books & this gem is one of my favorites. It is a rare book, especially crochet, that I want to make over half of the projects contained. They are only shawls but one is more beautiful than the next & there are so many different styles. Crochet is so often heavy, boxy & cheap looking--not any of these. They are rich, delicate, beautifully made, even the heavier weight yarns, but most of these are made with dk or sock yarns. I am almost done with one shawl & have yarn for 2 more. I would be remiss in not mentioning the models. They are all in beautiful long dresses that enhance the shawls they are wearing & their hair is swept up with pins & whatever to look very elegant. I am a Lord of the Rings fan and these models sent me right to Middle Earth.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fabulous shawls with very clear directions
*by C***B on April 14, 2017*

Fabulous book - I'm already midway into my first shawl. I love the fact that there are both written descriptions and charts. I already have yarn for two more shawls. I've been crocheting over 50 years, collecting books for most of that time, and this is one of my favorites. It explains blocking well and care of the shawl. The yarns range from lace weight to worsted weight and the hooks are not the fine steel hooks but rather the larger hooks - much kinder to older hands. The styles are great and the shapes vary widely. I highly recommend this book.
