This is beautiful. You are a very good teacher. You show exactly what you are doing, you give concise instructions, and you go at a very good pace , allowing your student to work along.
@user-zx6fm4ro2b very wise, that's the beauty of RUclips, you can watch as much as you like, even slow it down if necessary, thank you, I hope you enjoy your crochet. Thank you, Anja x
It is lovely. I think Egyptian cotton would make this even more dazzling. I have a friend in Egypt and she was very impressed with the final shawl. Thank you for your time, expertise and patience.
Oh I’m so glad I bought the pattern! Im learning to read patterns, so I did the you tube tutorial with the pattern , then just the pattern. Thank you so much! I’m using a tweed beige yarn.
Thank you for showing us your beautiful shawl pattern. It's so gorgeous and lovely. I love it, the way you showed it step by step patiently. Really appreciate your amazing ideas.
I am starting mine now. I'm gonna be using Yarnart Linen soft, color 7308. It is going to be a gift for a coworker of mine. Thank you very much for this video. I am very grateful, Anja! Господи, спаси и сохрани! ❤
🌟Thank you soooo Much for sharing & teaching us. I really want to learn this lace kinda design as I always love laces. You’re an excellent teacher & your video is very clear to follow for a beginner like me. I hope you’ll continue to share & teach us. I also would like to learn how to do a bolero in case you’re planning to do another video for a bolero, give us a shout. God bless & many good health to you🎄🙏💕
Thank you so much Ophelia I really really enjoyed watching you create this beautiful and amazing crochet pattern. I’ve saved it for future reference and I think the colour is stunning and will go with almost anything you could wear with it. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
Thank you, Anja! This is beautiful and I'm glad you gave the instruction on how to do a sampler because the yarn I started with was good to learn on but definitely the wrong fiber to drape well. It's really a fun repeat so I will find a better yarn and start with the full size. 😊. You are an excellent teacher and you are correct that your second round was helpful to see the repeat fall together again.
Thank you Anja. I am sitting here following your instructions with my King Cole and absolutely loving it. Your tutorials are soooooo useful and not to forget sooooo enjoyable. You are amazing xx
I tried to follow along with a sampler of my own, but I managed to loose 2 stitches between rows 5 and 6. Had to redo and I *think* I figured out what I did wrong. But will definitively have to count my way through this one before I get the hang of it! eta: If there ever was a reality show about crocheting, it would have to be called "So you think you can count?"
@@OpheliaTalks also, there’s a lot of people who cannot travel, but can visit beautiful places like Egypt through your eyes. And I think this is amazing. Thanks again ❤️
Thank you Anya for the beautiful pattern. Have completed my first shawl and enjoyed crocheting it so much have started my second one. Thank you for your clear and understandable instructions/demonstrations. I learn by watching and copying. Your channel is perfect for me and have recommended you to others. ❤
Have finished 5 repeats so far and it's so great. I couldn't find the yarn I wanted so settled for a desert sage color in acrylic. The next one might be a wool blend. Thank you!
I’m going to make mine as long as yours. I also used cotton blend worsted #4. Mine may not be as beautiful as yours, but I sure did it. Still not finish yet. What I do I pause and in slow motion. Thank you 🙏 😊 your a great tutor 😘🤗
I have never heard the tip for preventing the chain from expanding before! I love that tip, and I have been having trouble with that issue, so thanks. I am a new sub and look forward to watching your channel.

I literally just finished this shawl. It's called "Cleopatra Shawl" by Ophelia Talks here on RUclips. It's such a beautiful pattern. The only difference is the dc row after the (dc, ch1). Works up quick, too.
Hola! Buenas tardes, soy de México, y la verdad en vez del chal estuve mirando el paisaje tan impresionante y energético que tiene atrás! Seria maravilloso poder estar ahí, será un viaje que mi hijo tiene programado ir a conocer, me imagino lo emocionante de estar frente a esas pirámides! El chal es muy bonito, y con esa presentación espectacular Más! Saludos!
Laurette, I assure you, if you know the basic stitches to begin with, this is not difficult and it grows fast, just take your time and enjoy every row! Thanks, Anja x
