Notes

I made three Lost in Time shawls for Christmas gifts. With the first one I found it essential to check the stitch count at the end of each row. (Lots of unpicking when I failed to do so.) The project was much easier than I had anticipated though - especially for such an exquisite design.

I found a 3.25 hook worked best for me as I crochet loosely. This size gave the best stitch definition and ensured that I had enough yarn to complete the project.

I had a bad experience with the second of the three shawls in that the Scheepjes Whirl yarn (Pistachi Oh So Nice) had huge knots occurring throughout….every few yards in fact. These had to be trimmed with scissors or cut out. I wasn’t happy with re-starting so many rows and then weaving in all of those ends once the project was completed. That skein nearly drove me insane but as I had no such problems with this shawl or my first one, I’m guessing that I received an isolated bad skein which somehow made its way through quality control. I do intend to use Whirl again as the colors are beautiful.

Absolutely stunning design - each shawl took about two weeks to complete.

Thanks to Johanna Lindahl for her expertise and generosity in providing this exquisite pattern free to all. I look forward to trying more of her beautiful designs.
