As I was headed to the big box craft store the other day, I lamented not having a neutral scarf/shawl/wrap. I also had recently lamented my lack of current crochet projects, my active crochet WIP effectively zero (aghast). I picked up two cakes of Lion Brand Mandala in the colorway Harpy; a black to off-white ombre. Many of the greys are muddy, and I’m ok with this. Problem solved.
I found a stitch pattern I liked, and the chart translations were in Russian, Spanish, and Portuguese. I found an English version, but the line-by-line didn’t actually match the chart. I’m just going by the chart, which was easier that I initially thought.
I’m not sure which side I like better, the front or the back. So I guess its reversible?
Project Details: H/5mm hook. Lion Brand Mandala Yarn: DK, 590 yards, Acrylic. 11″ un-stretched. Will be as long as 2 balls takes me.

Isn’t it funny how we makers go along without having a list of must-make projects for oneself until that lightbulb goes off? Extra points for reversible!

Most of my projects are lightbulb projects! My thought train starts with “what if” or “I don’t have” or “let’s try” rather frequently!

LOLOL! And just like that … the list of makes grows. Looking forward to seeing this F.O. and the entire color transition. I agree … extra points for a reversible pattern!

I forget how quick crochet is sometimes! The color transitions are way more fun on this grey gradient than I thought they were going to be! I was all, its neutral, its boring: not so!
