Crochet-along: Bronwyn Shawl

This spring, we’ll be embarking on our first crochet-along in a VERY long time. Toni Lipsey’s Bronwyn Shawl is a great opportunity to play with texture and color combinations using simple stitches - whether you’re a new crocheter or have several decades of experience under your belt, we’re pretty sure you’re going to love this project! 

The pattern allows for a wide variety of yarns to be used. Our shop sample uses Malabrigo Arroyo in Talisman, Azules, and Pearl; you can use this as an excuse to do some stashbusting, either in full or in part - maybe you need a single hank of wildly variegated yarn to use against some more sedate colors or neutrals that you already have on hand? 

How this works: 

• Pick your yarn. You’ll need a USI / 5.5mm hook, and yarn in the following quantities: 
  • 325 yards of Color A 
  • 650 yards of Color B (this will be the stripes between the other two colors, plus the textured final part of the shawl and edging) 
  • 325 yards of Color C 
• Buy a copy of the pattern on TLyarncrafts.com or on Ravelry; you can also get it for free on Toni’s blog at TLYCBlog.com. 
• The CAL will start on Monday, March 14. We’ll have a Zoom party to kick it off that evening at 8 PM PST. (Click here to join the event!) 
• Progress at your own pace - life is busy, socializing is still weird, and we know that the garden is calling many of you! 
• We’ll have a few CAL meet-ups at the shop (in person!) at 3 PM on the following dates: 
  • Saturday, March 19
  • Saturday, April 2
  • Saturday, April 16
  • Saturday, April 30 - this is our wrap-up date, and we’d love to have a shawl-reveal celebration and photo around 4 PM! 
• We’ll offer online support through a group on our Facebook page and on our Discord channel. We’ll have a few Zoom meetings, too, if you want to meet up and chat with others from the comfort of your home while you work: 
  • Monday, March 28 at 8 PM PST 
  • Sunday, April 17 at 3 PM PST 
  • Monday, April 25 at 8 PM PST

Details coming soon! We'll be making kits available as soon as we can, but stashbusting is welcome! In the meantime, you can pick up the pattern (please note - it's only on Ravelry) and start looking in your stash bin to find good candidates.
