I also like Betty White's quote: "Butterflies are like women - we look pretty and delicate, but baby, we can fly through a hurricane." Thanks again for the pattern!
Love this quote. Thank you!
One of my earliest patients who was getting ready for end of life care peacefully told me that when we pass away, our souls come back as butterflies. She said she’d come back as a monarch butterfly. The next spring, the first butterfly I saw was a monarch and immediately made me think of her, and how graceful and sweet she was ❤
In my hospital we have a small butterfly card that we stick to the doors of CMO patients to signal to staff and visitors
Lovely. 😊
As a recent diagnosed pancreatic cancer patient I told my children when ever they see a butterfly 🦋 they should think of the fact that they are so free, and peaceful and remember how much I love to watch the butterflies in my garden and know how much I love them and will always be with them. Thank you for the pattern, I will make at least three for my girls and I know that they will have a special place always! ❤
I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm sure your girls will love their shawls. Enjoy making them. 🦋
Bless you.
I'm so sorry. Sending you 🙏. I'm sure that your daughters will enjoy wearing their shawls and keeping you close to their hearts.
OMG Chandi!!! I absolutely love this shawl. Butterflies have a very special meaning to me and my family. My mother told us that when she dies, she is coming back as a butterfly. I’m pretty certain she did not know all the things associated with the butterfly that you mentioned. She died back in 1986 well before the internet and practically instant access to a plethora of of information. To this day, when I’m out and about and see a butterfly fluttering about, I always say, hi Mom, so glad you could join us today. It would be such a delight to Winn a set of your gorgeous yarn.
My grandmother always said butterflies were the people we loved, coming back to us. Thank you for the beautiful patterns and yarns. My grandmother would have loved them. I think of her whenever I crochet.
Butterflies are a wonderful part of God's creation for us to enjoy! I always enjoy watching them.
Butterflies mean change to me. It means life is going on even when everything feels struck and sad, seeing a butterfly means things are always moving and getting better.
Butterflies remind me of the constant change and renewal of life. When I was 22 years old I lost three of the most important women in my life within three months of each other. My Mom and younger sister to cancer and my maternal grandmother to complications of diabetes. Whenever I see butterflies it’s a reminder of their beautiful souls and how blessed I was to have had them in my life even for such a short time.
This pattern and yarn base are a perfect blend for each other.
Thank you Chandi for the inspiration and beautiful creativity you share with us.🦋
Butterflies have been inspiring to me since childhood. As I've grown older, they remind me of beauty and change. Also, of lived ones who've passed. Such beauty, strength and freedom. ❤
Butterflies remind me that spring and new life are coming no matter how long the winter seems.
A butterfly represents that life is like a butterfly life cycle .. beauty lies within and always shines through👍🎉💃
Butterflies remind me of our loved ones who have passed on, especially my beautiful Corrina, my daughter who passed 18 years ago at age 18. When ever a butterfly visits me, I know it's her ❤❤❤
Butterflies remind me of renewal of life & love. I always send my love to my departed grandbaby, JoeJoe, any time I see a butterfly. 🦋 Thank you, Chandi, for all the love you send out to all of us every day!!! ❤
When I think of butterflies, it takes me back to when my disabled son was fighting for his life. I would take him for walks in the garden at the hospital, it had a big butterfly sculpture and I decided to call butterflies beauty flies, till this day I still think of that time every time I see a butterfly
Butterflies bring messages of love and hope from our departed loved ones. One of my most cherished memories was being in a field when the temperature warmed and thousands of monarch butterflies woke up from hibernation and started fluttering around me. There were so many that their wings created a gentle breeze. I will never forget this experience. ❤
I love this warm hug of a wrap! I can't wait to make it! Butterflies are wonderous creatures! One of my most beautiful memories of homeschooling my children, was when we raised Painted Lady butterflies from tiny black eggs, to larva, to munching-munching-munching caterpillars, to chrysalis, to gorgeous butterflies! We raised them for many generations. It was an amazing experience that moved me to tears.....while the ground outside lay frozen and covered in glistening snow, gorgeous butterflies were being born. And they seemed to know us! We could wear them as pins, or earrings, or rings, or hair doobers. It was an unforgettable lesson that is being carried on with my grandbabies today, as I type this. They still have the same netted house and have raised several 'batches' of the beauties. It all just thrills my heart!
Thanks for sharing 🥰
I love this pattern. Its like both my abuelas' used to tell me "This is your beginning into adulthood. Your childhood was you in a cocoon and now you emerge as a beautiful butterfly, a woman that can do anything she sets her mind to. One that will never bow her head and others will follow in her footsteps. You ARE that woman. We love you and wish to guide you the best we can even in our frail age."
They both have passed on, my maternal and paternal grandmothers. Their legacy and teachings live on in those that truly loved them even at their lowest point. My family and I have been healing, and in that journey, I have taken back up on sewing, embroidery and crocheting as each craft was taught by both my abuelas. When they would get together, they would each do a little thing for the other in their craft.❤
Whenever I see a butterfly, I stop, watch and breathe. They are my sweet reminder to stop and be present in this moment! ❤❤
Butterflies are beautiful. When they start appearing in the yard you know that spring is here.
As a child I would collect caterpillars and watch them grow to adults, then set them free. It was amazing to watch them go through their stages, especially changing in the chrysalis. How free they flew going from one flower to another and beautiful always meant so much to me. It is always so relaxing to watch them.
Butterflies are a reminder that one should look for beauty in every tiny, fleeting thing.
Butterflies just bring me joy. Spotting one is so serendipitous that you feel blessed when you see one.
My beart always lifts when I see the first butterfly of spring. The delicate strength of those little beauties brings me hope.
Butterflies remind me that even the most delicate of God's creatures is also a hard worker. I'm wanting to try this pattern after I have more experience in crocheting. I was taught at age 12 by my Precious Grandmother. I wish id have understood the gift she had given me. Instead i allowed School Sports, Volleyball and Yes Boys! Well, i took care of my grandmother til she passed and then my mother as she passed suddenly in my arms. So, I returned to crochet as a way to handle the losses. Butterflies remind me of possibility that they are the transition of loved ones who have passed. Thank you for sharing. ❤🙏🏻
Butterflies resemble beauty, love & tranquility to me…🦋
Thank you Chandi…💙
I have 5 Butterflies tattooed on my ankle, it reminds me of the five generations of my family that was alive at the same time. When I was young and my great great grandmother was 95
Butterflies signify love and a oneness to enjoy life every moment we are given. As a hemorrhagic stroke survivor, nothing is taken for granted, and everything is approached with love. 🦋💕
Ever since I was little, the butterfly house was my favorite destination. Butterflies represent the magic of imagination and wonder to me.
Butterflies were my mom’s special sign. He recently passed and I think of her every time I see one.
I'm sorry for your loss. 💔
I am in tears but not surprised the connection mentioned in the comments with butterflies and moms. I thought it is my thing only that a small white butterfly is my link to my beloved mother who passed away 33 years ago. I never told anyone but the appearance of such white butterfly always gives me comfort and peace. Now I know I am not alone here!
My mother loved her beautiful flower garden, and delighted in the butterflies it brought. Since she passed, I believe the first butterfly I see in my garden each year is her paying me a little visit, so I greet it with a gentle "Hi Mam", and it fills my heart ❤
I always think of butterflies as the souls of our loved ones coming back to visit us. Last summer a butterfly stayed on our backyard fence for hours it didn't even fly away when we came near to it. To this day, no one can tell me that wasn't my sister checking in on us. Thank you for sharing this beautiful pattern with us!
The new collection looks as beautiful and delicate as the butterfly. A yellow butterfly signifies a gentle loving memory of our grandson who gained his angel wings at 6 months of age. ❤
Butterflies remind me of transformation, and we can become whatever we choose or are inspired to become. It also reminds me, along with dragonflies, of my loved one who are departed from this life that they are still with me.
Butterflies are magical and represent love to me. Many years ago a man took me to this secret place, a patch of trees, and inside was a big open space surrounded in trees and there were thousands of Monarch butterflies! It was a special day that I will always remember!
Very shortly after my mom passed a few years ago, I was getting into my car to go home when I noticed a butterfly on the car roof. I waved it away but it came back to the same place. It took three times waving it away before I could drive away. Several of my friends said that it is a traditional belief that butterflies carry messages from your departed folks to you when you see one. I think that is so lovely.
This shawl is stunning! Butterflies, especially the blue and black ones are my reminder of a very dear friend of my parents that we called Aunt Annie. She was such a beautiful light in this world and I am a better person for knowing her and so so grateful to have been loved by her.
A butterfly has always represented new beginnings to me. It seems like those are some of the first creatures I see coming out for spring, so it always signifies a new start to me.
what a gorgeous pattern and the stitches are so elegant and soft looking just like a butterfly..To me a butterfly symbols growth, starting off as a cocoon and then coming out of its shell to show it's beauty, which when you think about it its for everyone..We all need to come out of shell so that we can truly show our beauty and allow others to see it as well...Everytime I see one in my garden I smile and talk to them telling them just how beautiful they truly are..I often take photos and just watch them doing their thing within my flowers..Always brings a smile to my face, especially if I'm having a bad day..
This design looks like a warm butterfly hug 😊. To me butterflies are a symbol of the beauty and also delicacy of creation. Thank you for sharing this pattern!
Butterflies, for me, represent strength in fragility. I live with chronic severe pain and chronic illness, and am a member of a support group on FB where we call ourselves butterflies. It is a wonderful community of ladies (and a few men) who support and help each other in our health struggles and journeys. Every month each of us sends something anonymously to another butterfly, to uplift and comfort and say 'someone is thinking of you and I hope you are ok'. It is a special group of very special people, perfectly represented by the beautiful butterfly ❤ Thankyou for this lovely pattern.
Butterflies remind me how beautiful our world is and how life is renewed every year. We just need to breathe and let all negativity out so we can appreciate life.
One thing that I absolutely love about butterflies besides the metamorphosis aspect, is that every time I see one, without fail, I have that childlike wonder as though it's the first time I've seen one. I absolutely love butterflies and they are just incredible to see during the spring and summer with all the different colors and patterns.
Butterflies always have meant a loved one who has passed, visiting me to say "hi" or letting me know I'm OK and they're thinking of me. Plus they are such a good representation of change and self-evolution - growing and learning through life, and not taking anything for granted.
Butterflies to me are a symbol of change. Starting from a caterpillar and morphing into something beautiful. It is a reminder to me that I and anyone goes through changes in our lives and we must embrace.
When I see or think of butterflies, it reminds me of the saying, " When butterflies appear angels are near." They are delicate, so very colorful, and a wonderful sign of life. Your yarn is reminds me of them, light in texture, delicate, colorful, and great strength. Thank you for sharing.
Butterflies have always been a symbol of beauty and summertime for me. This shawl is a beautiful way to symbolize both.
Butterflies are beautiful creatures that seem to just float along like someone’s spirit passing by. They mesmerized me and can put me in a trance. This shawl is beautiful and the colors are truly a sign of spring. Thank for the lovely pattern.
Butterflies always remind me that life is short, strive to make the most of it and make it beautiful. It can be a struggle to find beauty everyday, but I try.
When my dad passed, he struggled. It reminded me of a butterfly struggling to leave its cocoon, seeking the freedom ahead of it. I knew my dad's soul was leaving his body at that time, seeking the freedom ahead. Since his death, butterflies have been a favorite of mine.
Butterflies just make me happy. I always stop when I see one, and just enjoy God’s beauty. I love this pattern and can hardly wait to get started on it! Thank you!
Butterflies always make me pause and appreciate their beauty. So to me, they represent both transformation and pausing to take a breath and appreciating the moment. 🧡
My late mom 🥲looooved butterflies!!! I know she is with me with each butterfly I see. Kudos to you and the designer bringing me happy tears with this one❤❤❤❤❤
Lovely design again!
In the culture of my daughter‘s father, if a butterfly comes into the house or to you and flutters around you a bit it means that a visitor will soon arrive ☺️ always loved that 🥰
I love that! 💛
When I was a little girl butterflies would always alight upon me, especially when I was hanging laundry. One in particular (a gorgeous Mourning Cloak) followed me whenever I was out in the yard and would gently land on my hands, head, and shoulders, to which my Mother would comment that I was indeed a Blessed Child.
Your videos are exquisite as are all of the designs you feature. This one is so stunning that it made me cry.
Thank you for sharing such beauty with us……💙🦋🩵
Thanks for the pattern and the tutorial. My favorite butterfly quote is by Henry David Thoreau: "Happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it eludes you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder."
I've called butterflies "flutter-bys" for many years. It just seems to fit them better. 🦋 My fav flutter-by memory is when I went to the Butterfly Museum in Victoria, BC, Canada many years ago. Being surrounded by flitting flashes of color all around you is mesmerizing. However, one lady was quite distressed when a rather large beauty refused to let go of her flowered top even after she left the enclosure and went into the gift shop. I don't think the idea of being taken "captive" had entered her mind, but staff reassured her she would be freed, though it might take a little time. They said "it happens" but explained there's no easy way to dislodge the passenger without harming it. Oh, to have such troubles!
In my nearly gardenless, heavily concreted, bustling neighborhood of the city, we seldom see butterflies. I always feel a little thrill when a brilliant little flit of color hovers around me for a few seconds. It's a moment to stop, and really appreciate life, in the middle of a hectic day. This shawl is so graceful and fluttery, and the gentle colors of this yarn set really do give it a sense of magic.
This shawl is not only beautiful, but the meaning behind this is so touching. My friend Carmen was the kindest of souls and had a big butterfly tattoo on her chest. I had known her for probably 10 years before she had something on and I saw it. She said she just had this special connections with butterflies . I was devastated when she suddenly and unexpectedly passed away but I know in my heart whenever I see a butterfly or especially when one lands on me it’s my dear friend Carmen watching over me and helping me on those hard days. This would be a lovely shawl to make to honor her. 💕🦋
Thank you 💕
To me, butterflies mean renewal. It's a fresh start of so many things in life. After a traumatic fall two years ago and 6 surgeries later, I am getting stronger and feel refreshed.
I love this shawl, the pattern, and the colours are absolutely gorgeous! Thanks, Chandi.🦋❤
Another beautiful shawl. Butterflies 🦋 remind of rebirth. From a caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly.
Butterflies remind me of my oldest daughter. We went on vacation during Spring Break a couple of years ago and she found this injured butterfly in the ground. She picked it up and insisted that we carry it around and care for it all day. Of course, she even named it and made us take pictures 🥰 I would love to make this for her birthday in July.
I have always been called Ladybug or Butterfly by family and close friends. To me they both remind me of elegance, beauty, being free, fun, delicate, whimsical.
Butterflies represent carefree summertime. They are so beautiful and graceful. They look like they are dancing when they circle each other. I love them so much I have planted extensive gardens for them and have many in my yard all summer long.🦋🦋🦋
this is so beautiful. I love butterflies, they remind me that you don't wait for happy moments, but that they are small and you have to be quick to notice them
Butterflies 🦋 means Happiness and Joy … it’s the symbol that I relate to my first granddaughter - I have a custom tattoo with her name as the wings! Beautiful piece, can wait to get started. Thank you both for sharing, have a Glorious Day!
Butterflies are so gentle and elegant
They always bring a smile to my face when I see one
The butterfly is such a beautiful representation of the different roles during the course of our lives. In my case, I think of the different phases of my life, as a daughter, a wife, a mother and now a caregiver for my mother. Even if the transition from one role to the other can be bittersweet, they are all beautiful in their own way. Thank you for this wonderful pattern!
Butterflies always remind me of when my first husband and I saw the monarch migration...it's incredible 😊
The butterfly reminds me if our middle daughter. She does her thing and suffered greatly growing up that she has really come into own. Love her so much.!❤
This is a beautiful design that makes me think of white butterflies. Whenever I see a white butterfly, I know it is my angel grandson coming to pay me a little visit. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful design.❤
I am a thyroid surgery patient having had to have the thyroid removed due to cancer. Since the gland itself is butterfly shaped, I believe they come around to remind me of what I have lost, but also to teach me that with change comes a metamorphosis. As I deal daily with having to take a lifelong supplement because of my surgery, I remember the butterfly and the changes they go through to bring so much beauty and joy to the world.
Thanks for the beautiful pattern! I see butterflies often when I'm outside doing garden work. I'm always thankful for their beauty and the work they do as pollinators providing us with a fruitful and nice garden.
Butterflies are my personal favorite because they resemble what you said like my mom passes and i feel like it sends and instills peace each time I see them
Butterflies to me have always symbolized renewal and beauty and maybe freedom of spirit. I'm allergic to wool and can't express the love I have for a yarn like Moongleam that allows me to experience the beauty of hand dyed yarn without the allergies. Thanks Chandi 🦋
This is such a beautiful shawl! I volunteer at the Butterfly Vivarium at the American Museum of Natural History in NYC. I love to see the expressions of joy and delight in the eyes of the visitors as they walk around the vivarium, especially if they are lucky enough to have a butterfly choose to rest on their bodies. It's truly a magical place.
When I see a butterfly, I say “I love you” and it takes my message to my parents and brother up in heaven.
Respekt für das Sein eines Schmetterlings. Er hat die Kraft der Transformation, aus der Enge in die Verspielheit der Leichtigkeit zu kommen. Er ist ein Geschenk der Freude für mich 🙏🧚🏻♀️💜
💕💕💕
Since I usually see butterflies on or around flowers, they remind me of the beautiful flowers in my garden and yard. I love the soft pastel shades of colors in this shawl. They blend so well together!
Such a beautiful design. My best friend’s mother loved monarch butterflies and. She was so special to me. Every time I see them I think about her.
Such a beautiful pattern! I love ALL the symbolism of butterflies, but I just love their simple beauty. Effortlessly, they just flutter about being beautiful. I love watching them on the flowers in my garden; I love watching my kiddos chase them; I love seeing my daughters admire their beauty too. 💕
Butterflies mean my favorite season is coming & bright colors are returning to our lives once again. What a pretty design! 😍
Butterflies are colorful and graceful even after all the difficulties life throws at them. To me, they are a reminder that even though life may be short and difficult at times, I can and will overcome and fly free. 🦋
I love to watch butterflies in my garden so I try to plant lots of colorful flowers for them. This stitch is so unique and really does look like butterfly wings.
Butterflies are a sign of new beginnings to me. Where I live, they are often seen in the spring when all new life is beginning. What a stunning project. Adding it to my list!
Butterflies have a natural beauty reminding me of simplicity and peace in the now. There ability to transform and make the most of the moment.
As ever - you are such a generous lovely soul. Thanks so much for the Giveaway opportunity! This pattern really is lovely. Thanks for sharing it!! My dad was a teacher, and as a child - we spent our entire summers at our lake cabin in northern MN. It was in the boonies - best childhood ever. My dad built the cabin when I was an infant in a playpen. We took our baths in the lake and brushed our teeth in the bushes (no electricity & no running water- just an outdoor pump with the coldest water!!!). We water skied every day, pushed our raft to the middle of the lake and sat and talked while we ate our PB&J sandwiches. A glass bottom boat is great, but I truly loved building butterfly houses. We walked into the woods to pick milkweed and watched the process from caterpillar , to cocoon, to butterfly. That was over 50 yrs ago, and I remember it like yesterday. I'm not eloquent with my words, but I still feel a sense of wonderment. Fascinated by life, interested in the science of it, and cherishing the immense beauty. 20yrs after my butterfly experience, I became an OB/NICU RN. 😌.....best 'job' ever! 💕
Beautiful pattern! Butterfly for me a symbol of Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles. I think of my daughter’s illness and successful treatment every time I see a butterfly. Thank you.
For me personally butterflies sometimes acted like livesavers in hard times of my life. They always filled my heart with happiness and gave me hope. I love the pattern very much and the colours are gorgeous! Greetings from Germany, Katja
Just beautiful. Butterflies remind me of grace, beauty, and art. They are mesmerizing to watch and the color combinations are just breathtaking.
Butterflies remind me of playing outside as a child in the spring! ❤
Butterflies remind me of transformation and hope to rise above life's challenges. This is a beautiful shawl!
When I think of butterflies it reminds me of rebirth and freedom. There's no limit to where you can go. Lovely pattern as always Chandi. Have a beautiful day one and all ❤
When I see a butterfly I'm taken back to when one year my first graders and I watched a butterfy from cocoon to emerging and then flyng away. It's seems magical.
Butterflies are a sign of change and improvement. Love having them in my back yard.
I love this shawl and I love butterflies so much , when I see a butterfly in my garden from my upstairs window , run down to the garden and just site and watch it. They make me so happy. Can’t wait to start this wonderful shawl .😊
What a beautiful shawl. I really love butterflies, they remind me of God's boundless love to us. I love seeing them float from flower to flower. Thank you for sharing this with us. 🧶
Not usually a pastel fan but I really like this. I love butterflies, they remind me of renewal and it is never to late to change.
My grandson developed an interest in caterpillars last year and now we have several out back waiting to break out of their cocoons. We looked up each one and most are moths but there are a few butterflies and I can't wait to see each and every one. Both represent renewal to me, a second chance at life
When I think of butterflies, I think of Monarch Butterflies. Their beauty and fragility, and their transformation from an ugly caterpillar to a winged and free spirit flitting through the garden of beautiful flowers on a bright sunny day. What a beautiful shawl that captures the essence of these delicately winged marvels.
