Notes

This will be a store sample for My Sister Knits.

This is beautiful! And believe it or not, really so easy to knit. Nothing complicated about it. The repeats were easy to remember and no wrong side knitting because it’s all circular knitting. And the best part…no purling! Definitely one of the easiest shawls I’ve ever knitted. Careful though, the last inch or inch and half took a whole skein of yarn!

Oh, I should note, I only used 3 skeins of yarn. They must have been generous skeins because the total weight calculates to more.

On the blocking wires - 57” diameter
Off the blocking wires - 52.5” diameter


06/18/11 - Finished! I barely made it. I had less than one gram of yarn left! Now just the feat of blocking it to do. :-)

06/17/11 - I’m so close to being done…and I fear I’m gonna run out of yarn!

06/15/11 - I’m on the edging!!!! :-) 23 repeats done…200 more to go! :-)

06/13/11 - Almost done knitting the final repeat of chart E. The rounds are definitely taking longer now.

06/08/11 - finished up one skein of TML and on chart D, row 31. This is really going fast.
