This is a lovely, clear, well-written pattern, easy to memorize but not deadly boring. It’s good tv knitting. And it’s a gorgeous, gorgeous shawl. My very first time using cobweb. I’ll definitely use it again.

This yarn is heartbreakingly beautiful. Soft, squooshy, and strong. It has a pretty high velcro factor, which is good if you drop stitches (ask me how I know), but not so good for untangling. Do NOT center pull it! (ask me how I know). The whole thing, beads and all, weighs only 64 g.

I made the stockinette body variation, and although I added one extra set of 6 increase rows (so a total of four repeats of the 6 increase rows) and the rows seemed to become Very Long Indeed, it’s still rather small. My gauge is pretty tiny with this cobweb on US2 needles, but I love the fabric and wouldn’t want any bigger holes…so if I make this again, I’d add one or even two more sets of increase rows.

Mods:
Made the stockinette body variation.
Used M1 instead of YO for center increases.
Did one extra set of 6 increase rows.
Added beads to Chart 4, placing them after the double decreases.
Bound off with double strand using US5 needles.

Next time--add two more sets of increase rows to body to make a BIG shawl.
