Notes

Another gorgeous shawl finished.
Nice yarn to knit, shows the pattern really nicely. After washing and blocking the shawl, I put it in the dryer to soften the yarn up. Linen can get very stiff once dried up. So just put it in the dryer for about 5 to 10 minute with a wet cloth. The moisture helps to make the shawl nice and very soft but it keeps the shape the way I blocked it. So the points are still showing.
My 5th Picture shows the Shawl with just one skein of yarn. I was not sure how big it would get so I decided to cast off and seeā€¦but was not big enough so purchased another skein and picked the stitches up again and added the second skein to the shawl much better in size now.
