Cast on 7th April on 3.75mm needles. Worried about how the resulting shawl will look and wondering if I should go up to 4mm or maybe even 4.25mm. Will continue for a bit longer yet and see how it develops before making a decision. Hard to tell so early on!

Am making sure I keep weighing the wool after every significant part in the pattern. Weight of wool left at the end of ach repeat provided in brackets.
