Notes

I was all set to use up the rest of the baby alpaca yarn by making two more Crosses on plain weave ground shawls when I noticed my Pinterest was blowing up with hot men wearing big scarves. This can only mean that someone is paying to make big scarves be in fashion for men this fall/winter. So I am dropping two repeats from the threading and putting on a 6yd warp, instead of 5yd.
