I’ll add better pictures when possible.

Seamless crescent shape shawl worked in a lovely lace stitch easily memorizable. First time working a shawl bottom-up, messed up the math and had to frog and cast-on again. For this project I used the knitted cast-on method. (On the first try used the single cast on and the next row was very difficult to knit - that’s why I usually prefer the long tail method but this time I didn’t want to deal with the calculations).
From the sample I could see that the shawl would curl so I added an eyelet row, it looks really nice.

8.01.2012 - 1 repeat is done.

12.01.2012 - I started the 4th and last repeat.

14.01.2012 - I worked the decrease rows and started the shortened rows section. I’m looking forward to finishing it.

15.01.2012 - Tried an i-cord BO but it curled, so I frogged it and worked a firmer method.
I’ve finished it!

16.01.2012 - Shawl is currently being blocked.
I’ll post a request to test knit shortly.

21.01.2012 - Posted a request for testing at FPT.
Pattern is currently being tested and is scheduled to be released in the beginning of February.

04.02.2012 - Pattern has been released.
