Notes

I don’t know if I’ve repeated lately just how much I dislike the rav photo upload feature and its propensity for turning things upside down…

8/30/2014:

Let this sit for most of the summer - too sweaty to knit. Picked up again this week to finish before Stitches East.

Have done:
Chart A - 12 repeats (no tiny scarf-things on this one!)
Chart B - 1 repeat
Chart C - 1 repeat (9-stitch nupps; no extra rows 35/36)

Using http://knitfreedom.com/bind-offs/stretchy-yarnover-bind-off and breaking into a second skein just for the second strand on the bind off; finished with less than 2 yards left of the first skein.

Will block next week.

10/5/2014: So, I let this sit longer than planned. Obviously. Wove in ends and blocked today. Some bleeding in the bath. Have I said how much I love this Findley?!

Wingspan: 72”
Depth: 34”

Rating as ‘medium’ difficulty only because the d#@n frost flowers are patterned on both sides - takes some concentration / getting used to.

Overall, I am really pleased with the finished shawl.
