Notes

I’ve been knitting for 2 hours, and all I can say is I LOVE this knit! I’m almost done the first set of “arrows”, and can’t wait to do more bobbles.

I did, however, do crocheted bobbles instead of knit ones, as I like the look better.

Also, I’m knitting with worsted weight, so I might have to adjust my number of repeats to get to the end. I think I will just take off a repeat on each section. Hopefully that works.

Did I mention I’m loving this knit?

Note about knitting with Worsted Weight:
I was just using yarn from stash, and didn’t have enough to finish the pattern as written, so I had to get a little creative. If I were to knit this again I would make sure to have 2 skeins of colors A and B, and 1 skein of color C. Because I used size 6 needles my guage wasn’t substantially looser than the pattern, so I could have followed the pattern exactly if I’d had enough yarn. However, if you use a larger needle, and you wanted your shawl to turn out the same size as the pattern, you would probably need to cut out the last repeat of each pattern.
