For instance, I've adorned this half circle with grilled delights...
And simple stripes...
Olives and pimentos...
Corndogs...
As well as these crazy crustaceans...
Despite the examples above, I feel as if I've only begun my exploration about the realm of the half-round. Oh yes, more iterations definitely to come.
Love to see your take on this one too...
Come on, give it a try!

Thanks for the pattern! Love this shawl. Of course, mine won't be as fabulous as the olives w/ pimentos...
ReplyDeleteYou never cease to amaze me with the things you come up with!
ReplyDeleteExcellent pattern! Thanks so much for sharing. I look forward to trying it. It was very cool to see all the variations you've done with it.
ReplyDeleteThe olives and pimentos are the BEST. Of course the steaks on the grill are a perennial favorite.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting it! I really love how the pattern looks great with all sorts of things. I think I'll have to make a black and white one with felted spiders on it sometime...
ReplyDeletethanks for the pattern - i must have missed the olives and pimentos! must make for my next martini night
ReplyDeleteOh.my.gosh. I would love to see this pattern with an eagle on it. You know, like Elvis' cape. I would totally walk around town with that. Ha!
ReplyDeleteHmm... I might just try and make it for the fun of it.
I absolutely love the way you crochet. Would it be possibel for you to instruct me on how to crochey an applique? I'm not sure I understand the process. I get tunisian, but I don't get how you applique. Hmmm. . .
ReplyDeleteperchance are you a member of the SCA? (http://sca.org)? the lobster and corndog shawls totally look like very amusing heraldry, although how you would blazon those corndogs is beyond me! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, I was looking for this kind of pattern -- my plan is to make a rainbow effect with traditional rainbow colors (ROY G BIV) so I'll start with the violet and work out from there...
ReplyDeleteIt is very kind of you to share.
