Notes

01.04.2012
It was very hard not to knit on this project, when I found this version:
Inspiration
and I had the same yarns at home… I think it was a sign, that I have to make this shawl from this yarn :D
But I was in a testknit, and started a Mystery KAL, and another 2 Cardigans on my needles for myself… Test ist done, KAL is almost, and one of my Cardi also, so it’s time to start something new :)))

03.04.2012
first (MC) part is done. that was 26g yarn=86m


Modification:
At the 3. part (where all 3 colors are in use) i hadn’t stopped where the original, but made still i had from Delight.


I read lot of tips.

Wich I have taken:

  • in every odd rows i put an extra YO between the first and second, and before the last stiches.
  • in every even rows i left fall this stiches so will the edging looser
  • i use YO-s to increase (looser edging)
  • by striping first stich with the old color, from the second the new
  • don’t wrap the yarns at the edge

Next time i will use this method
