Notes

required yardage:
Color A: 340yds / 311m
Color B: 345yds / 315m
Color C: 300yds / 274m

I played yarn chicken because I used yarn with 310 meters and lost, so I had to improvise a little bit.

In section 3 I ran out of colour B (Klatschmohn) in row 31 (row where the short row gaps should be closed), I only had enough yarn for 3/4 of the row. Therefore I only knitted 1/2 row and did not knit row 32.

Same problem I had with colour A (Walnuss). There I also only knitted half of row 31.

Now the stripes are a bit smaller, there is one yarn over less at the long tail of the shawl, and I had to close the short row gaps with a contrast colour while I knitted the first row of the following parts.

But I think that does not matter very much, I like how my shawl turned out.

I have not woven in the ends and to blocked the shawl yet.
