Notes

Here are all of my notes for this project. It was an easy knit, but I didn’t find the pattern to be written too well for my simple brain. Hopefully my re-written version will be helpful to you. You should be able to make the entire shawl using my notes, assuming your mind works like mine does.

I modified this shawl design to make it larger than the pattern calls for. Notice my shawl has five of each color triangle, but the pattern has only four of each color. I did this because my gauge was 4 stitches per inch, not the 3 stitches per inch specified in the pattern. I also executed a Wrap & Turn (W&T) in every short row at the turn-around point. The pattern doesn’t call for this, but I didn’t want any holes at those points. I did not bother to pick up the wraps -- I’m too lazy and it doesn’t detract from the overall look of the shawl. I didn’t cut any of the yarns until the end of the project. To start a new triangle with the DC, I left about a 10-inch tail dangling from the last DC triangle (uncut). This forms a yarn ‘loop’ dangling at the edge, and after I was done with the whole shawl, I clipped and knotted each one securely.
