Notes

5.5 hook and two strands held together.

110g used ~ 1760 yds (1610m).

The yarn is too delicate for my rough use. Also perhaps it aged? It’s been a few years (5-6) since I bought it. It broke very easily. Also, I lost a substantial amount (about 10g) to entanglement.

My numbers were all wrong on this shawl, so I’m just relieved to have it finished at all. I went way, way over the deadline for the test.

I did not have any difficulty in making the cnupps (crocheted nupps a.k.a cluster stitches). Learning how to make the fans was a highlight in this pattern.

I crocheted 8 solid rows as in the original, unmodified pattern, not the published version, before beginning the fans.

I’d say the colour is truest in the third photograph from the top.
