Victorian Masquerade Shawl- test pattern

This pretty shawl is another test pattern I completed.  The pattern is not yet available, but the designer's other patterns can be found here.

I used a D Hook (3.25 mm) and less than 1 skein of Woolike by Loops & Threads.  It is a fingerling yarn (Super Fine-1).  I used approximately 2.46 ounces of this 3.5 oz skein, which after doing the math using the information on the label, means I used approximately 476.5 yards.

The width of the shawl is approximately 63” and is just over 30” in length.

Testers Needed!

Any of you crochet people interested in testing a simple scarf pattern for me?  I'm working mine up as a light weight scarf using fine (or super fine) yarn but it can be worked up in any weight yarn using the appropriately sized hook.  Gauge is not important and you do not have to finish an entire scarf, though I would love it if you do.  I would like to see at least eight inches of the pattern worked, if possible.

I would need to know type and amount of yarn used (though an estimate is okay), hook size used, and if there are any errors or confusing parts in the pattern.  I also will need a picture of the scarf you finish.

Other things I am interested in- whether you think there needs to be a border, what the name for the scarf should be, and what experience level you think the scarf should be rated as.  I think it's all pretty basic and the only stitches are chains, sc, and double crochets.

This is my first real attempt at writing down and offering a pattern.

Hooded Cowl

Modeled by the lovely Emilee, here is a chunky, hooded cowl I made.  The pattern can be found on Ravelry by clicking here.  It works up quickly with Chunky Yarn (I used 2 skeins of WoolEase Thick & Quick from Lion Brand in the color Constellation) and a P size hook.

Wikked Skulls Spare Tire Cover

I purchased this pattern off Ravelry and had been so excited to try it for my Jeep's spare tire.  Here is the finished product.  I love it!  It uses a H (5 mm) hook and ww yarn.

Kaptan Kaos Flaming Skull Cadet Cap

This is another test pattern I completed by the designer at Spider Mambo Designs.  It uses small amounts of ww yarn (I used leftover scrap yarns) and an I (5.5 mm hook) for the extra large size that I made.

Double Spiral Blanket

This pattern intimidated me at first, but it is really well written and goes together much easier than I expected.  I love the outcome.  Though some of the blocks look a little misshapen, it is due to the drag of the board I have it on.  I had not yet blocked the blanket when the picture was taken.  The pattern was not yet available to the public when this post was written, but you can check out the designer's other patterns available.

I used Caron Simply Soft in four colors.

Brown- 9.92 oz. or about 521 yds.
Cream- 17.18 oz. or about 902 yds.
Orange- 6.48 oz. or about 340 yds.
Yellow- 10.89 oz. or about 571 yds.

It ended up measuring about 50"x60", point to point.
