Lacy Crochet Shawl
The pattern is called Eva's Shawl by milobo. Always fun to see how others have done this project on Ravelry.
I've stayed fairly true to the directions, though I've simplified them a bit for my taste, as they are written using UK terms such as treble crochet which in the US is really a double. I've also rewritten the eyelet row since I kept getting caught up in the weeds of growing frustration: "But what does that mean? That doesn't make sense!"
At which point, I put the pattern aside and started crocheting with my instinct instead of my logic. I find that I really rather like this pattern much better that way. I'll share more details of the modifications at the end of this project.
By the way, I am keeping up with my exercise regimen (treadmill, sit-stands, balance) like a good rehab patient. Thanks for the encouragement. Happy weekend, all!

eva's shawl will be beautiful in those colors....sort of like a sunny summery cocktail! :)
Love those colors!!!! I will send your blog to a friend who crochets ASAP.

SO pretty!
I admire your perseverance in tackling a UK crochet pattern. They've always endlessly confused me. I think going with instinct is really the right way to do it. :)
And the results? Gorgeous!
Sorry about the confusing eyelet row instructions - I'm a novice pattern writer, and I put this together very quickly - I wanted to share the pattern as I had a lot of interest. Looking at your picture though, it looks like you have figured it out correctly!
This is so lovely, like a pink cloud!
I've been sick AGAIN - yes, yet another course of AB :(
But I'm calling you tomorrow!
Beautiful, just gorgeous !!!
Gorgeous!
Ooooooo!
oops I think an ant just crawled into my keyboard. Are you watching any wimbledon? I did some crochet last night - there's the ant!!! It is free!! My house is a complex ecosystem.
My sister bought me some quills for my birthday. They are very nice so thanks for the advice.

That's beautiful!
I've been wondering how your rehab is going. Get strong!
I thought I would let you know that I just finished a Mia Shrug and posted it on my blog. Fantastic pattern!
