Notes

My finished shawlette is much smaller than it should be based on the pattern pictures. A second skein would absolutely be required to produce a shawl of the size shown in those photos. My row gauge was even a smidge larger than called for, and even so, the point of my shawl hits my bra line, not my lower back. It definitely does not wrap across in front. I’m not a skinny woman, sure, but come on.

This pattern seems unnecessarily complicated, and the pattern photos show the WS of the fabric rather than the RS. I kept checking and re-checking that I was supposed to be purling on the RS, because the photos obviously show the RS of stockinette between the eyelet columns. Also, the instructions for the “last add-eyelet-column” section were missing an open-bracket and a “pm”. At least by that point, I was able to figure out where the repeat was supposed to start over.

32 st markers required for a tiny shawl! Sheesh!

After binding off, I handed the shawl over to Julie for the crochet edging.
