I knit this shawl with two strands of yarn (I split the ball in to two portions and contemplated bringing in one strand of another colour in some sections) but, seeing as it ended up as a single-colour shawl, it would have been less fiddly if I’d used the 4ply version.

11 Dec - Just getting started.

14 Dec - I’m wondering why I thought it was a good idea to double-up 2ply yarn :) This is one of those projects where when I put in a lifeline, all goes well, and when I don’t put in a lifeline, I end up with an extra stitch halfway through a lace section and have to unravel back to the garter section. However it’s going okay, looking good, and I’m on the second lace section.

17 Dec - I was measuring and calculating during the last lace section because I was running out of yarn. I skipped the last four rows of the lace pattern so that I would have enough yarn to bind off (which used a lot of yarn because of the extra stitches that are cast on and then bound off) but it looks fine.

The height from the bottom tip of the triangle upwards grew from 30cm to 39cm after washing and blocking.
