Notes

Another beautiful design by Lily. I used well under the required yardage (750 yds by Lily for L). My knitting is fairly loose, but I started with about 90 - 100 yards more than what was needed, also TML might be slightly thinner. The shawl has nice texture despite the single ply, and a tiny bit of halo. Especially love the color and was glad to score two skeins of it for the mkal as it’s been discontinued, for a while now I think. I hope Tosh brings it back.

Clue two
Clue three

50% left. One skein used to row 54, end of clue three.

Left twist/right twist stitches - In the pattern they’re modified with a purl stitch. I sped through the knit/knit version on row 41 which might affect the finished look.

Clue three
Errata to row 49 switches the direction of the twisted stitches. I’ve redone rows 49 to 54 and included the proper tbls/purls (and vice versa) in the twists per directions. Left row 41 as is as the directions in the twists agree with the pattern. The second photo was taken before errata but the lighting and angle might not show the difference and it is a darker color. Will take better photos of the finished shawl.

Clue four

Clue five
Row 42 typo - ktbl (switch to ptbl). 43 grams remain, before bind off (110 grams/skein = 420 yards).

11/4/2015
Clue six
Exactly 40 grams left after bind off. Bind-off: p2tbl, slip back to left, repeat - firm but not too firm. The three “legs” near the border needed a little more tlc while blocking. Measurements are 67” by 23” on the mat. Beads are Miyuki Matsuno 6/0 round, silver-lined amethyst.
