Notes

Kit bought at Berkana in Nelson.

Found good video on RT and LT:

Picking up stitches: this video is extremely important!

I don’t know why there is no link to it in pattern or in description, but I would not have done it correctly if I hadn’t found this video!
I also missed that the tile floor band had stocking stitch stripes. Luckily, I watched the video again and noticed that too.
Did a solid Icord in midnight color along bottom edge. Did alternating stripe Icord denim and midnight on neck edge. Do not weave in ends! Almost all the ends can disappear into the Icord!
Beautiful very warm shawl!
