Knitting Midwood is a great way to use up beautiful hand-dyed yarn that (if your experience is anything like mine) seems to reproduce in your stash. Worked from the top-down, this shawl uses the half-Pi method—where increase rows are placed periodically between the charts. The lace motifs used here knit up quickly, as they are not worked on the reverse side. Both written and charted instructions are provided.
