Notes

Great pattern! I really appreciated the yarn requirement estimation.
I wanted the shawl to be deeper so I increased every other row or 7 times per leaf pattern instead of 5 times for 4 repeats. I wanted a curved bottom rather than angled so I reduced the number of increases by one for each leaf repeat until 0 or 6 more leaf patterns. I had only enough yarn to have 1 repeat with no increase before needing to increase again. I eliminated the stem that would have been alongside the last leaf to make the ends similar size. I would have made the shawl longer to fit someone my size better but ran out of yarn.
The yarn feels good and is pretty but sheds little bits.
