Notes

Yarn held double. I hope it will be right size.

I will make 8 repeats of ribbed pattern instead of 7. I think I have enough yarn for one extra repeat.
<< It was not enough yarn :) I needed to omit two rows at the very end of the ruffle. Didn’t make the YO in the row before the last one. And I had to make the bind off with only one strand of yarn… Well.

This one needs blocking to open up the ribbing.

About the cables: I tried first few with an extra needle, but it was very fiddly, I’d even say a disaster. Then I learnt to do them without the extra needle and it works like magic. Although it seems my cables are too tight. Maybe they will be better next time.

Also next time: either get more yarn or no extra repeats of anything :) I am actually thinking of making this same shawl in thicker merino. It would really look good bigger and thicker.
