Notes

All garter stitch and a few rows of slipped stitches - perfect project for listening to an audiobook. I’m glad I used fingering instead of sport weight yarn or the shawl would have been huge. Love the icord edge!

No mods because the pattern is excellent as written although I used the same size needle for the icord as for the rest of the shawl rather than a larger size needle as called for in the pattern.

Needles
16” Addi bamboo circular, 4mm/US6
24” Addi Turbo Lace circular, 4mm/US6
6” HiyaHiya metal dpns, 4mm/US6 (icord bind-off)
