Friendship Shawl Ala Rena

SOOO after long break of crochetting, I was confused to start again.. either learn to learn amigurumi or make more shawl? While I was confused, I browsed at online local yarn store. And there, i found that bulky yarns had interesting colors. They were so colorful. And the store added notes that buky yarn's texture is soft, thick, and big ply. The bulky has attracted me since I browsed that day. So I finally decided to order it. Before I ordered it, i browsed for the pattern. What should I make with those yarns. And I found this pattern: Friendship Shawl. The pattern available free in Ravelry. Yeah you can find many good and unique pattern in Ravelry for free, and share your project there too! And this was how I did start it:

Looked so nice at the beginning rite? This pattern is easy to understand, and one of quick projects too. After about 2 or 3 days, I finished it like this:

My shawl length is about 1.6 metres and it is really nice. Warm, soft, and thick but light enough (since I used bulky yarn). My office colleague asked me, "Does it really make you warm? So many holes in you shawl!" But, guaranteed! It is so warm. I spent 3 balls of yarn to finish this. And the rest of yarn? I made 2 small wallets to my lovely friends in my last office. They are so kind yet funny too. They helped me a lot when i worked there. So, before i quitted my job, I wondered, what should I give to 'em???. And this things were the answer. I hope they like it tho! ^^

Used bulky yarn and double crochet! Very quick project indeed, about 2 hours. Hihihi. I would like to make more things with bulky yarn. Really love it!
