Crochet Crazy

I shared this project in March. I finished it in April. After I ripped out every bit of the work you see above. The switch from regular to working the front post single crochet was entirely too obvious and I just had to start over. It was the right thing to do. 
Here is a close up of those stitches. The design is a super simple two-row repeat. 
I used two cakes of Mandala.
This colorway is called Phoenix. I don't know if it is very fitting for this colorway, but there you have it. 
Since the two cakes started at different colors, it was super simple to alternate between cakes to get this result. It could just as easily be made with two solid cakes, a solid and a striping, or two different colorways of striping.
Two cakes work up into a nice-sized triangle shawl.
