Notes

Nice pattern, it’s easy yet keeps you focused. It took me 8 days to knit one for myself. I beat my personal record!

Used center-leaning double decrease (Sl2, k1, Psso) instead of ‘Sl1, k2tog, Psso’. Looks much more accurate to my sight.

About 150 grams of Kauni 8/2 used for this piece. I will weigh it more accurately after blocking. And a good portion of yarn left - will be enough for some other shawl =)

I used 4.0 mm needles instead of 5.5 mm as pattern calls, so when it came to row 143 my shawl was a bit too small. I added one more repeat and finished on row 161. I could knit more, but the color changes became too thin.

Even though it is smaller then it could be with 5.5 mm needles I still love the drape and believe that going three needle sizes down was a good idea.
