Notes

I had leftover yarn from my Frozen Leaves shawl, and decided to see how quickly I can finish a lace shawl if I promise myself I won’t rip and correct anything. Result: 4 days. But the number of mistakes! ARGH.

Pattern notes: the lace is very easy, the charts are clear and very well described.

To work the nupps (k1, yo, k1, yo, k1), do the yarnovers in the OPPOSITE direction to regular k1. This way, it’s easy to p5tog without the last stitches tightening impossibly on the needle.

The yarn is 80% acrylic, so it was steam-blocked with my iron on the highest heat setting.
