crochet so fine 3
dragonfly s h a w l
A few years ago, my family and I saved a drag-
onfly from drowning in our pool. We scooped
him out of the water and blew on his wings until
they dried. When he finally took flight, we were
overjoyed. I have had a special fondness for
dragonflies ever since. This triangular shawl is
a result of my love of the winged creatures.
