Totals: 30 grammes of yarn left, suggesting that the shawl used 90-100g (will weight once dry); 22 scallops; height during blocking (lightly stretched) = 29 inches, wingspan 72.

Modeled by my lovely friend Elizabeth overlooking Cramond island.

2/1/13: Waiting to see how large my modified version turns out before deciding whether I’ll have enough yarn to make modifications to this one as well…

Ridiculously excited that I finally get to finish the last skeins of a discontinued color of 2-ply lace-weight :)

6/2: my skeins weigh between 35g & 40g each - I have 4, weighing just under 130g in total. I used only 80g for my first effort, though the yarn was slightly thinner, but I should have plenty to make the same enlarged size as before.

9/2: Central triangle has a cast-off edge of 202 stitches = 101 each side + 1 centre stitch.

13/2: 101 stitches = 7 repeats of marked pattern, increased to 155 after all pattern rows worked. Before beginning border, totals as follows: -

310 = (1 + 150 + 4 + CS + 4 + 150 + 1)

10 repeats of border chart will leave only 4 stitches before CS rather than 10; another 6 are required. I will work the first 4 repeats of the border chart normally, making 1 additional stitch on each of the 6 repeats after = 10 repeats of chart and 10 stitches left before CS.

Still reading Elizabeth Bowen’s backlist; now in 1932!
