Very slippery yarn. Does not look good with puff stitches.

I bought this on Lion Brand page on Amazon. It says it’s sport. IF it is, it’s terribly fine weight for sport.

I have some beads for this pattern. Not sure where I am going to put them. I will just have to see as I go along.

Printing this pattern
I had to copy all of the text and paste it into a Word document. Then I copied a couple of photos from the pattern page for my Word document. I added page numbers.

I copied her stitch definitions from her OTHER PDF page that you have to go to her website to get onto the pattern. I think that’s so that she gets advertising dollars for people clicking through her website. So annoying.

Everything is in nice cheap, black ink. Enough photos to identify the pattern. Only EIGHT (8) pages to print. A lot of work to print a pattern but probably saved me at least $50 worth of ink.

Only beginners need to have photos of how to place a dc stitch. This is definitely not a beginner pattern.

All of that work to start working this pattern.

Finally - begin!

Popcorn stitches
My popcorn stitches are barely visible. Granted, I am only using 1 color for my shawl. Maybe some day I will try a multiple color one.

I have scrutinized the pictures of popcorns on shawls with fingering weight yarn. I know my yarn is slick. But I think that some people are making 5dc popcorns so that their popcorns are more prominant. I am going to frog back and do this.

I frogged this. When I was working the rows where there are all of the post stitches, it was so overly full. It looked bad. I tried a row after the post stitches. It does pull it in a bit but still looked like it would need a STRONG block to make it lay flat.

I just don’t want to fuss with a pattern that doesn’t seem written well enough to lay flat. I frogged it.
