Notes

Label on skein says its “75% Superwash wool and 25% Nylon.” Lady at Ancient Arts booth at KnitCity says it was mislabelled and should be “75% Superwash merino and 25% silk” and selling at same price. I’m not 100% convinced. Umm. How do I confirm this?

Provisional CO 2.

Shawl is forming into a hump. Garter tab maybe too short?

Modified to garter tab 7 rows (3 ridges). K2, pick up 3 sts, K2 from CO (7 sts). Cont as per pattern.

St st to 181 sts for medium body.
70 g remain.

Chart A & B, no beads.

Well, the lace doesn’t look that great without the beads. The beads forces the lace to open/close. Frogged back to safety line at end of st st. 181 sts.

Chart A & B x1 with Miyuki #5 triangle beads in bronze (TR1133).
35 g remain.

Chart C. Changed to US 8 needles at row 11.
15 g remain.

Picot BO at row 14 (WS): Knitted CO 3 tight. BO 3 tight. BO 2 loose.
5 g remain.

Summary
Body 30 g used.
Chart A & B x1 = 35 g used.

Picot BO = 10 g used.
