    About

    I am not knitting in day order and am cherry picking my colours from the set in an order I want.

    I love the finished shawl but the pattern had a lot of mistakes - eg the stitch count was out in several places and a stitch combo repeat was out. If you were a beginner knitter this could throw you. I feel like there was cutting and pasting from other patterns going on. However I would be happy to knit it again and would like to do in bolder brighter colours like the sample.

    Row 145 - I just couldn't see how instructions worked so what I did with the same result (and I think easier as could easily order the loops) was transfer the 6 stitches to a cable needle then turn it around so that the 1st stitch became the 6th stitch)

    I had 24" of yarn left from a 20g mini skein after cast off. The cast off took ages but it is beautiful.
