Notes

07/08/13
Started this last night. Have got about 16 rows done and so far so good.

23/08/13
Brought this away on holidays with me but didn’t get a huge amount done…I’m nearly finished the first section..so far so good. Only made one mistake and noticed it quickly so only had to tink about 2 rows. Looking forward to starting the striped section!

27/08/13
Have done about 4 repeats of the striped section. The first two took forever and had to be ripped back in bits a couple of times. Got the hang of the pattern now so it’s moving much quicker. Really love the look of the slipped stitches. I’m really happy with the yarn I chose as the colours contrast really well.

02/09/13
So I am about 11 repeats into the striped section. It has been very slow because I keep getting distracted and making silly little mistakes so that my stitch count between stripes is wrong. I hate ripping back because I hate trying to pick up the stitches so I have been tinking back to mistakes, which is a lot slower - but it means that I dont make any additional mistakes from dropping stitches etc.
I spent a good bit of yesterday knitting and flew through without making any mistakes - I think I have finally found my rhythm!

I bound off last night - I went up a size for the loose bind off and it worked a treat. I have ended up with a loose but neat cast off edge. The whole thing is super squishy and bouncy. Going to try and get this blocked at some point this week.
All in all I love this shawl …but I fear I might have made it a bit small…I ignored my own advice of knitting a swatch…anyway will see once blocked.

22/09/13
Surprised myself with how quickly I got this blocked. It dried super quick too in our Indian Summer. Anyway I am so happy with this. I love the yarn and the pattern and I am delighted with how this turned out.
