Wow. That is beautiful. I wish I understood more of the directions. I just know single and double crochet. I'll save it for some day when I know more. Thanks for sharing. It's really beautiful.

I loved this pattern the first time I saw it, (i think it was on the crochetville forumS), and made myself one. Everyone comments on how beautiful it is. Thanks so much for sharing it.

A question...could you keep going and make this bigger for a plus-size gal? Maybe just add more rows at the end of pattern?

Thanks! What a gorgeous shawl!!

DTW This is the first thing I've ever made for myself. I LOVE it and use it nearly every evening. It took me about a week to make in spare time after work. Thank you for sharing.

Just wondered if you've made a chart for this pattern. I've tried it a couple of times and I'm not quite sure if I have it right. It's gorgeous and I'd love to actually complete one.

Look, yes the shawl is beautiful, but I'm stuck here trying to decipher the pattern's cryptic language. I really wish you would go back and clear up a few phrases, or explain in a little more detail.

Thanks for this pattern! I made one for my mother in law. Not sure if SHE liked it, but I loved it and hated to give it away!

What brand of yarn was used in the picture?

would this work using one strand of super bulky yarn instead of 2 strands of worsted weight? thanks!

Just made this shawl! LOVE IT!! Kind of a slow start, but once I got past row 6 it was smooth sailing from there. Will use this pattern again and again. Thanks so much for sharing.

I'm getting lost in between row 2 and row 3. I know I'm not doing something wrong but I'm having trouble deciphering how to fix the problem. Help please. A video would be greatly appreciated.

Directions are very confusing. I've ripped it out twice, just cannot figure the pattern out.

Your shawl is beautiful. My question is:
Is the pattern written in US terms? or British
Treble crochet= Trc means to wrap yarn twice around hook

Is there a way that you can post a step by step video tutorial?

So frustrating that this author isn't bothering to answer questions or make this pattern easier to understand.

Very difficult pattern to read. No stitch explanation is making it even harder. I'd love to make it, just don't have the time to keep trying to decipher this pattern.

I'm stuck on row three. I got to the center and am not sure what to do with the direction "1 group in center of 3 trc from previous row." Can anyone help?

A "group" is 2 tr 1sc 2 tr done in the same stitch (I think that's right, can't view pattern right now). This is stated in row 2 (or 3 - I can't see the pattern while I'm commenting) of the pattern (in parenthesis).
I have not done the pattern yet but I do believe that when she writes "tr" she means an American treble stitch.
When I tackle this pattern, I'll come back if I run into problems or can figure out what the problem is that everyone seems to be having.

Correction: 2 tr, ch 1, 2 tr is a "group"
