Notes

This was a finer yarn than suggested in the book, and with that yarn, the book specified 700 yards. I used about 50 yards more of a finer weight yarn than what was stated for the suggested weight yarn. I also blocked it an inch or two larger than suggested. The purple highlights in the blue yarn made for a really stunning shawl.
