Notes

I loved making this shawl and I think I will have to make it again and again. I think the color combinations are endless. The colors I used for this made me keep thinking about going pumpkin picking. I am ready for Fall!


9/16/13- 7 rows to go, plus the bind off. Is there going to be enough yarn in the yarn bowl to finish??????

Update I finished with only using 5 skeins. I was short two rows at the end, but I’m thrilled with it.


For the initial start of the shawl I held two strands together.

M1R- “I’ll be right back” put left needle through back of stitch being made

M1L- “I left through the front door” put the left needle through front of stitch being made

I am placing stitch markers at my W&T so they stand out more.

My adjustment on the Eyelets- make row with yos, next row purl, next right side row ktb (knit through the back) of the stitch over the eyelet.

Note-
I used 5 skeins of yarn. I didn’t do the full repeat of wedge 2 (oops I was knitting in the car and missed the instructions). I also cut the last garter section 2 rows short to make 5 skeins work. I used one skein per color and had yarn left over of each color except the Poppy (the bright orange).
