Finished up Chart 1. This is a very lovely pattern, and I’m having a great time knitting this up!

finished up part 2 - I don’t think I’m having trouble with the “make 9 out of 2 in back loop” instructions so much as “counting if I’ve made 9 or not” is a bit more of a chore than counting if I’ve made five or not at a glance.

about 6.5/8 of the way through row 114 I finished the first skein of three I had set aside for this project - we might not get to the third skein…ah well.

I have now completed two repeats of the optional extension (rows 139-146) and will now endeavor to do 10 repeats of rows 149/150 and see where that takes me on the yarn I have left and the look of the shawl before binding off. I think there will be maybe at best two more days of knitting for this project.
