Notes: This really
is a great pattern, although I found the chart a bit unintuitive. The edging,
knitted as you go, and the i-cord bindoff are both beautiful and smart design. I
did 10 pattern repeats, as Sivia suggests, and I love the finished size. This is
a shawl I would knit again, a rare thing for me--a beaded version in a plain
color. This yarn varies widely in color, from dark burgundy through olive drab to a rather ugly, faded tan. I hated the striping as I was knitting, but persevered, hoping that blocking would magically make it look good. And it did! BTW, I do not generally wear my shawls with hiking shorts. |
