Notes

May 28, 2020

I’ve done a knit swatch and a crochet bit to try out the Virus Shawl pattern… Just need to make sure that the intended recipient likes the color.

June 21, 2020

I swatched using 5mm needles and a 5mm hook, but decided to go down to a 4mm hook for the actual project. This yarn opens up a LOT when blocked, and I don’t want the lace to be too holey.

September 25, 2020

712 yards (3.25 skeins) for the crochet portion. Tassels took up the rest of the yarn used.

September 26, 2020

Blocked dimensions: 54” wide by 28” down the spine.

October 7, 2020

It’s not really big enough for intended recipient; doesn’t meet in the middle due to impressive bewbages. May add the remaining yarn if I have the opportunity.

December 27, 2020

I have expanded this shawl to include three or four more full repeats and an ad-libbed border. Yarn used has been updated.
