Making a slight modification to the pattern instead of placing the sc around the treble crochet posts one row below as with row 4 going around post of the treble crochet on row three. Row four is going around treble crochet posts of row 2 and row 7 is going around the posts on line 5 and so on through out the pattern. I am hoping this will make the 3d effect larger and more prominent and the fans more free to move.

Because I am using a much larger yarn I am also using a much larger hook this should progress much faster.

If I was doing this with the same size thread as the other three snow queens I am working becasue the shells/fans overlap more it would actually take more time and more yarn to do it that way. But would be very lovely that way may still do it. But I might want to do that in size 30 thread instead.

becasue this is yellow wool I just could not bring myself to call this the yellow snow queen shawl just to many bad images there.;0)

I am just using this one as a swatch to test the stitch modifications. I am not truly making anything other than a swatch with this. Once I get it to a certain point and can see if it works or not this one will be done.
