.Some notes on the modifications I made-- no I did not keep counts, and I will not provide charts, but it was not too difficult to work out when I had my handy dandy graph paper in front of me!

To work this shape:
• I started from the long triangle tip working the cable-lace motif.
• I worked side to side increasing 26 sts every 3 chart repeats on the neck edge.
• When I got to my center point, I worked a series of short rows to help curve the shape around.
• I started working the ribbing just as the neckline reached the center point of the shawl. (working diagonally up the motifs just as in the original pattern)

• Past the center point I began increasing 13 sts for each chart repeat.
• Once my ribbing section got as long as I wanted it to be (just about even with the center of the neck curve) I began another series of short rows to help shape the outside curve of the ribbing section, and to lengthen the other leg of the shawl

• I worked in this way until I was happy with the shaping-- by folding the shawl in half to see how much more needed to be knit, and to see where the next short row should turn. I was aiming for almost symmetrical. (I would have continued for a little bit more but ran out of yarn.)

I’m sorry this is not ore specific, Lol!
