You are way ahead of me but I'm glad you are staying with this. I'll catch up I promise.
I'm way behind too, but loving the pattern. I love the way yours is turning out. I may have to do this all over again next time I have a big Webs binge, which is getting more enticing everyday. Daryl
I just wanted to tell you how much I love your shawl. I have been
following the KAL but not participating yet because of other
commitments (we are building our own house...from felling trees,
hewing beams, to raising the timberframe and beyond. Nearly done
though, yeah!) but I have been saving your instructions and advice
into a document for later use. I already have the yarn I want to use,
just missing the time to do it. If you find any more "time" laying
around, please forward it to me! LOL
I'm almost caught up to you and am wondering how much yarn I should hold up for the last repeat and the border. I'm using the Suri Dream you used for the first shawl and would like it to be as big as possible without running out. How much did you have left?
Hi fluffi! Good for you! I used 8 balls of the Suri Dream and I had about 10 yards left over. Of course I had a couple balls in reserve. I'd save around 1 and ahalf balls for the finishing and then just knit as much as you like until you get to that point.
What color are you using? I hope you'll send photos!!!
I chose Twilight, one shade darker than Ocean. Digital camera's on the fritz, but I'll send a pic if I can. Thanks!
This is going to sound really dumb, but I'm stuck. On the second row, that M1 gives you 11 stitches total. The next row only has you working 10 stitches. What am I missing here?
Thanks,
Lark
