I found this "Flying Diamonds" pattern on Ravelry and I fell in love with how a lot of them turned out when using thin yarns...like sock yarn or lace weight yarn. So, I bought the pattern...my first pattern purchase on Ravelry! I'm crocheting it with a size "F" hook and a cone of thin (lace weight), 100% cotton yarn that I had in my weaving stash. I love the color and I think this is going to turn out really nice...
Our local library has a little book store where they sell used magazines and books to make money for the library. It's a great resource and I love to go there and look for magazines...which I often find current month issues and get them for .50c...and craft books, etc. I went there today and found several magazines, including this one...
It was only .10c and has lots of pretty patterns. I never liked to crochet with thin, thread like yarn but my current shawl project is fun. So, maybe some "decorative crochet" is in my future. :-)

you're making me want to polish up my rudinmentary crochet skills! I'm loving the shawls!
I can echo Sandra's comment verbatim. Your shawls are just stunning.
I'm not usually a crochet fan, but that shawl is really beautiful!! It seems like a great way to add some stretch to a weaving yarn that probably has little to no stretch.
Very nice!
Sue
PS: And multiple shawls within weeks? You are amazing!
