Notes

We know the exaltation that they know
Who now, steadfast inheritors, behold
The Land Elysian, marvelling “This is ours?”

Gauge is important. Please take your time. I’m a tight knitter and found that using a US 11 / 8 mm finally gave me gauge.

After frogging back, total user error, I’m back on track and into the 2nd repeat of the first chart.

I’m halfway through the 4 repeat of the first chart.

I can see the finish line from here!

The project is fairly easy, once you get the rhythm. I did have to go up to 60” circulars in the beginning of November because I hate a crowded needle.

As it is the 60” is getting fairly stuffed and I’m tempted to run it across two circs and using a third circ as the working needle.

Fingers crossed to have it done, blocked, & ready for Christmas!

Starting on Chart 2. The end is nigh!

Off of the needles!!!

Finally wove in all the ends, rinsed it, & brought up the second table so I could loosely block it.

Finished size 77” x 77”

Gifting to Crissy before she goes off on her next international adventure.

I love this shawl but I love her more and want her to have something from one of us (and all of us) in the group chat. It will be good to have whenever days go sideways overseas.
