I loved working on this shawl. There was a lot going on for each chart, to keep an experienced knitter entertained. I love the finished project! I would like it even more if it weren’t quite so pointy.

I followed the written pattern. I’m usually a chart person but I think I was thrown off by the fact that the charted cables had as many symbols as stitches involved. And I prefer skpo over “sl 1, k2tog, psso” and as many times as it’s written, would have saved a lot of space! The bind off was not specified so I bound off purl-wise on the wrong side.
