Rainforest Dragonflies Shawl

I live in heaven!

Well not literally. But if I did, I am pretty sure it would resemble my little spot of earth.

My place is surrounded by a rainforest, and the pictures for this shawl were taken here.

Secret rainforest gullies hide things like huge fallen logs. It is like stepping into my own little private jungle.

My crochet CEO, Stella, thought nothing of walking straight across one such huge log suspended around 15 to 20 feet in the air, across our creek. On the other hand, I was having quite the panic attack about it all. But I wanted some photographs of the new shawl featuring that log. So, I put on my big girl boots and headed out.

The things I do for crochet!


But onto the point of this post! I was fortunate enough to have Andrea from Yarn Me Calm kindly give me a huge cake of Wolltraum My Melody in the color Always. I set to work and turned this into the Rainforest Dragonflies Shawl.

This is an easy/intermediate level crochet project. The main body of the shawl has simple enough stitches, with the edging being a little more technical. Of course, this shawl features my signature dragonflies. My own unique combination of stitches creates these dragonflies, and I do think this lovely yarn shows them off quite well.

Will I ever run out of ideas for a dragonfly pattern? Well, at this point, I still have several all drawn up and ready to start. I just need time!
