Ember Shawl!

I made a shawl, a couple weeks ago, and I forgot that I didn't put it on here. How silly of me!

This one is made from a  free pattern and I chose to color block it. I love the pattern! It  was easy, I could crochet while watching Netflix or amaze people by looking at them, while they talked, while crocheting. Oh, yeah, it is that kind of pattern! The pattern doesn't call for tassels, in fact it comes with a very nice border of it's own.

Here is a shawl I made using the pattern, following all directions:

 I made the shawl for a family friend whose sister has cancer and is undergoing Chemo-therapy. It is something that she can use during her treatments. This is a close up of the border:
 Now, for the Ember shawl, I left off the border and put in tassels (using one string from every color, about 12 inches to make a 6 inch tassel) in every other space (I forget if it was chain one or two).

Here is my Ember Shawl:
This is the first thing that I have actually made for myself. In the three years that I have been crocheting I have made scarves and hats for everyone else but this one is mine. Sorry, guys, I just love it too much.

I would love to know what you think, in the comments below! I always love hearing from you. Also, if you have a favorite shawl pattern, feel free to post a link!

You are beautiful and well loved.
