Notes

This is the wrong yarn for the shawl. The 3 ply is too round and squishy to really make a drapey shawl. I changed row 7 of the fleurette lattice because I thought I knew better than the designer. after using 25g of Yarn it was not better so ripped back to first fleurette repeat. Tempted to rip it all but have no better plan for the yarn so I will reknit per artists design.

I added beads to the fluerettes and eyelet rows near beginning to stop stockinet rolling

Despite predictions based on other’s Yarn consumption I had more than enough to knit the entire shawl and an extra fleurette chart repeat. I gave myself a big grafting job by first eliminating 35 rows and then knitting the start.
