Beautiful Shawl - takes a LONG time to make

I am very experienced with crochet, and this was a challenging, but fun, project. While working with the pattern, I discovered that there was one section that requires you to divide the number of stitches in your row into groups of seven or eight, and three. It was complicated enough that I had to work with the numbers for about 30 minutes before I figured it out. This pattern really requires a lot of patience and determination, but if you have those qualities, the result is worth the effort.
