Notes

With this wool I knitted Spook but never got to wear it because I was too fat and it was too small, so I unpicked it and decided to use it for this project. Guess what? I lost a little bit of weight but I doubt enough to look decent in Spook. Fingers crossed I have enough to complete Lilac Leaf Shawl.

Knitting complete. Wash and block today.

The weight of the shawl is 2.75 ounces grinning

I was getting cramp in my toes too much to do any more adjustments. I’m afraid this will have to do grinning

It was disappointing to see my Kitchener stitch join. It is usually invisible, must be having a bad day grinning
