Inspired by The Lace Mess Shawl with random y/o, but knitting heart shape (as per 5 Basic Shawl Shapes Cheat Sheet). To avoid central spine, but heart shape growth of the shawl, will be skipping 2 decreases on the y/o nearest to center as per the cheat sheet increase ratio.
Finally, will use the Ojete Scarf for the edging.

Started on US 7 to make sure I’m taking she right size with me on the cruise. Waaay too bit, glad O checked. Unravrled and switched to US6. Perfect!
Did tab cast on: c/o 2 sts, knit for 14 rows, then p/u 7 sts from the garter tab (+2 and 2 on each side for a total of 11 sts). Began the heart shape increases as per the Shawl Shapes Cheat Sheet, from “row 5” instructions, skipping the first 4.
Continued with 6 increases every RS row, 2 closer to each edge, 2 closer to center.

Ran out of yarn half way through the BO, so ordered another skein, I guess this one will have a matching glove-set ;)
