My sister saw this shawl on Jeopardy years ago, bought the pattern and yarn, and then asked me to knit it up which I’m happy to do! It’s going okay—LOTS of short rows….

Okay, there are many minor issues with the pattern but reading other project notes was really helpful. The pattern picture shows a shawl done with a much bigger gauge. 9 repeats of the main motif? I ended up with around 19. The use of parentheses in the pattern to denote repeats could use a note to this effect. Some notes describing presentation of stitches at certain junctures would have been quite useful as well. Not big deals, but some confusion and frustration.

I typed out the 18-step repeat in a way that I could easily reference. I used German short rows instead of wrap and turns. I carried both yarns up. At the start of the new color I hold my yarns as if I were doing stranded color work, with the new color in the dominant position. I knit the first stitch as if I were catching a float. I used the simple stretchy bind-off from verypink knits.
