Notes

Sunday 10.26

It’s done. It’s definitely a very attractive shawl….
I don’t know. I like it but, I still feel as though I might have found a pattern better suited to it.

The finished shawl measures 20” x 76”; I did 25 repeats for a slightly longer product.
I am not at all satisfied with the bind off I used though, I tried three different ones before settling on it.
I went with the Russian Lace bind off and, to me, it looks very obvious and awkward.

Started this several times.
First with Elann’s Peruvian Baby Silk, then with JaggerSpun’s Zephyr, THEN with Jade Sapphire’s Lacey Lamb. I finally settled on J. Knits Lace-A-Licious; what I least expected to use.
Six pattern repeats into the project, I’m still not sure it was the right choice. It might still get frogged.
