New Pattern for Valis Circular Crochet

I decided not to do this pattern as a

CAL. Too much to do. But, I do believe
you will have fun with this project
because of the basic stitches
and instructions. I would love

group onRavelry and discuss any
concerns or anything from this
project.

This shape and the design of the shawl
were inspired by a mathematician and

by the botanical gardens in Austin,

Texas.
After being here for almost a year, I
have recovered from many stressful
events. This city is wonderful for
healing, making new friends, and
creating beautiful fabric.
I want to share this pattern with you
and ask only one thing in return. I
ask that you make one for charity or
give as a gift.
Happy Crocheting! Valis
