Notes

This was a nightmare. I chose the wrong yarn so I had to force it to work with the patten. Kirara is a thick and thin and that is not the best for this piece. It also tended to pull apart and break when knitting with it.

It was sheer discipline to finish this. Not a pleasurable knit for me!

Also I got gauge but shawl turned out smaller than it should have. Is more of a mini neck kerchief size than I wanted.

I am glad it is finished.

I had not yet blocked when I took the pictures shown. I have managed to stretch it out a lot with rigorous blocking. I like it better now. I will post blocked pictures soon.

Also, I had to remove the army green sections from the Noro yarn. When I use what remains of it I want to do a project that uses it straight through without dissecting.
