  8. Hi Johanna,

    Thank you for sharing your beautiful patterns. I was wondering if we are allowed to sell the finished product. Obviously it’s a hobby, not a business, I would just like to make enough to buy more yarn.

    Many thanks

  10. This is fantastic! Is there any way that you could design this in a square pattern? This would make an unbelievable afghan/baby gift. I would not want to try and make any changes as this is your pattern and I don’t believe in tampering with anyone’s work. Thank you so very much!! Mary Ann

      3. Hello, do you have an estimated time frame when the square pattern will be available? I too am completely in love with the Lost in Time pattern and color scheme and excited to get started. Also, do you think it would be safe to purchase double the yarn required for the shawl for the square version? I want to be ready to go when the square pattern is available 🙂

        What is the measurement of one edge (as in, what size square will it be?).

        Thanks so Much! Absolutely beautiful!!!

      4. Hi Renee!
        I dont have a time frame for the LiT square yet. Though the pattern will be made so that you can make the square as small or big as you like 🙂 If you want the square to be as big as two shawls put together you can do that.

        I wish you a lovely evening ❤

  11. I was looking at your pot holder/hot pad pattern. You stated to use two strands of yarn, but in the pictures, it looks like there is only one strand. Just wondering…what should I do? I think two strands would change the look of it. I could make two and piece them together to add thickness. What are your thoughts?

  13. Hello Johanna,
    I live in Scotland and learned to crochet only a short time ago which i mother had been trying to teach me for years, but i couldn’t grasp it being left handed. Since learning to crochet i have been trying various things and i seen your beautiful Lost In Time shawl and fell in love with it. I can totally appreciate the time that goes into creating these exquisite pieces of art work, but to let the world work your talent out in their own way is so generous. Thank you flower for giving us such beautiful things to create, that we might showcase your talent on our shoulders.
    Love

      1. Hello Johanna, thank you for the wonderful pattern. I am in the process of opening an etsy shop. And would like to make a line with 7 different colour combinations with your lost in time pattern. Of course credits will be attributed to you if you agree. If your permission is granted you should know that it will only be 3 shawls for each colour variation. Please let me know your thoughts on this. Keep up the wonderful work, this is a pattern to D I E FOR. Kind regards from Greece.

  15. HI Johanna,
    I live in South Africa and I recently discovered your blog and beautiful patterns. When I saw your Lost in Time Shawl I fell in love with it. As I am a novice I was not sure if I would ever be able to create such a beautiful masterpiece. I printed the pattern and hoped for the best as it looked so intricate. Much to my surprise it was not that difficult at all and the pattern is so well written that it is very easy to follow. Your color combination are also amazing and make your patterns so much more special.
    Thank you for your amazing patterns.

  16. Hello Johanna! I’m from Costa Rica, Central America. My mother tongue is Spanish and I’m pretty fluent in English. I found your Lost in time shawl in Pinterest and I immediately fell in love with the pattern (I’m about to finish my own). 🙂
    If you ever want your patterns translated to Spanish, I’ll be more than happy to help you.

    Also, could you please tell me where do you find the beads to decor the borders of the shawl?

    Have an amazing day!

  17. I’ve made both Lost in Time and Secret Paths. I wonder if they could be made in the round with the magic circle and two or four of the increases in a round. I’m sure there would be plenty of interest for a blanket type layout instead of a shawl. Complicated by the fact that it would not be worked back and forth like the shawl but only from one side. We would all love this if we could get it to work.
    Thanks for your inspiring patterns. This is exciting crochet!

    1. Thank you Jackie! That is a very interesting idea, with a round blanket. It should work with the secret paths 👍🏻 I have just ordered yarn to make a square blanket with the Lost in Time pattern 😃

  20. Hi Johanna
    Thank you for creating and sharing your amazing patterns. I have a question.
    My old friend asked me could I do it for her shawl Lost in time and she wont to buy it. For me crochet is hobby, not a business but she asks very much. I could buy a yarn for this work.
    I was so afraid to do Lost in time but now I just love this pattern. Thank you very much 😊

  22. Good evening!

    Your patterns are absolutely breathtaking! Thank you so much for all that you do to promote crochet and kindness to fellow crafters; our world needs more big-hearted people like you. Would you ever consider designing your Tropisquare pattern into a shawl? The texture of the square is so attractive!

    Kind regards to you and yours!

  23. Is the Catona a fingering weight yarn like the Scheepjes Whirl AND/OR can it be used with the Whirl yarn on the same Shawl. I would like to add the Ruby Catona to my Whirl Shawl I’m making from Mijo Crochet Lost in Time. paula @mijocrochet

    1. Hi, The Catona yarn is thicker than the Whirl yarn so I would not use those two together in a shawl. I would rather compliment with a Scheepjes Whirlette which is the exact same yarn in solid colors or maybe Cotton 8. I hope this helps you! 🙂

      Normalt kommer det ett mail direkt efter ditt köp med en länk till mönstret. Köpte du via Ravelry eller Etsy? Kan du angett fel mailadress? Vilken mailadress angav du i köpet?

  26. Hej fantastiska Johanna! Så kul att du ger dig på att göra business av din fantastiska talang! Jag har verkligen inga problem att betala för dina underbara mönster. Som så många andra är jag galet förtjust i LIT-sjalen. Ser att du kommer med den som filt också – det ser jag fram emot. En fråga… finns det en möjlighet att du kanske kommer med LIT filt i rektangular form – inte bara kvadradisk? Och .. kan man tänka sig att den kan komma som poncho? Såååå sugen 🙂

    Lycka till!!

  27. Hello, my name is Cesia Soto and I am speaking to you from Chillán, Chile because I would like to make knitting kits with the “lost in time” pattern, I have a small business on Instagram where I sell wool and yarns, the last time has been quite difficult for my business so it would be of great help (@tallerentrelanasylinos). I intend to create kits where I deliver your printed pattern mentioning your work and authorship, along with your image and nets as well as a ball of “Flower Yarn Art” and “KnitPro” crochet and I would also like to attach to this knitting kit small videos recorded by me weaving the shawl. Thank you very much in advance, I look forward to your response and have a great day.
