Notes

Love it!!! Well written and easy to follow and adjust.

Used 4mm Needles.
Gorgeous soft cashwool yarn in purple for the main colour and pink in a merino and silk yarn for the contrast.
Did extra lace panel along the bottom as I wanted a nice big shawl.

This is what I added:
Part 5: k2, kyok, k105st then worked lace chart, repeating bottom section 25 times and the top section was 20 repeats (442sts)

Worked ws and rs rows 6 times for a total of 12 rows (478sts)
Worked 1 ws row (480sts) then moved on to picot cast off

Total weight: 300g, this worked out as approx 220g of purple and 80g for the pink.
Think the pink yarn was slightly finner than the purple.

Size once blocked and relaxed is 27” x 96”

Will make this again. May try this in a thicker yarn…..I wonder if I could use aran weight??
