This was my Squam project this year. While knitting other things during the trip, I was able to complete this shawl on my flight home.
A - A - B - A - A in two colors.
Clue 4A - I made a mistake and did not knit the latter part in garter, which looks OK so I did not rip it up. The stitch count reached over 400 at this point, and I did not want to go back and do it again.
