After a full month of knitting every day for hours on end, the Twists and Turns shawl is finally complete and blocking.
![I love the shawl, as an art piece, but I find that I'm not much one for wearing shawls.](https://images4-f.ravelrycache.com/uploads/Wovenflame/888941724/20221124_143712_small2.jpg)

The edging I added to the shawl does seem to correct the curling problem with the "wavy river" section.
![I like the way the edging brings the wing section and the centre section together.](https://images4-g.ravelrycache.com/uploads/Wovenflame/884697215/20221102_071910_small2.jpg)
I like the way the edging brings the wing section and the centre section together.
![Continuing on from the end of the striped wing section I've added a 5 stitch border to help prevent the curling that is happening along the twisted stitch band.](https://images4-f.ravelrycache.com/uploads/Wovenflame/884303788/20221031_070327_small.jpg)
Continuing on from the end of the striped wing section I've added a 5 stitch border to help prevent the curling that is happening along the twisted stitch band.
![I'm really pleased with the way the accent colour band within the chevrons "pops".](https://images4-f.ravelrycache.com/uploads/Wovenflame/883946876/20221029_122556_small2.jpg)
I'm really pleased with the way the accent colour band within the chevrons "pops".
![After much consideration and second guessing I finally went with an entirely different colour for the second AC.](https://images4-g.ravelrycache.com/uploads/Wovenflame/883403356/20221026_122803_small2.jpg)
After much consideration and second guessing I finally went with an entirely different colour for the second AC.

Trying to decide which yarn I should use for the I-cord embellishment of the antler cable.
![At the end of Clue 3, before making any I-cord, I have 3.1 ounces or 88g left. Not sure of the yardage because I can't find my yardage counter!](https://images4-f.ravelrycache.com/uploads/Wovenflame/883042495/20221024_112117_small2.jpg)
At the end of Clue 3, before making any I-cord, I have 3.1 ounces or 88g left. Not sure of the yardage because I can't find my yardage counter!
![Clue 3 complete, minus the optional "worms" that are worked through the cables. I only have 3.1 ounces of AC left so I'm waiting to see what Clue 4 brings before committing to the I-cord worms.](https://images4-f.ravelrycache.com/uploads/Wovenflame/883042325/20221024_111944_medium.jpg)

Finished Clue 2 with my modification of the smaller cable.
![I've decided that I like the look of the "O" cable being closed before bind off (bottom example) so now I need to rip back the I-cord bind off and last row of the 4th section (top) and reknit them. too bad I hid the ends so well.](https://images4-f.ravelrycache.com/uploads/Wovenflame/882119109/20221019_142423_small2.jpg)

![I didn't bother to close the final "O" cable, but you could. It would involve doing the cable movements while also decreasing.](https://images4-g.ravelrycache.com/uploads/Wovenflame/881954564/20221018_164721_small2.jpg)

![I switched out the "S" shaped cables for the small "O" ones shown here. It's a simple substitution.
On Rows 5, 13, 21, and 29 do a C4B, C4F.
On Rows 9, 17, and 25, do a C4F, C4B.](https://images4-g.ravelrycache.com/uploads/Wovenflame/881755421/20221017_131409_small2.jpg)

My progress as of the end of day one.
![Just had to try that looping technique, but I took it out again for now since it is bulky and gets in the way of the knitting process.](https://images4-f.ravelrycache.com/uploads/Wovenflame/879770368/20221006_170653_small2.jpg)

Clue one has us casting on and casting off again, repeatedly.

I'm very pleased with the way my three handspun yarns play together in the swatch.
![The vibrant green yarn is a wee bit thicker than the other two but it seems to knit up with the others okay.](https://images4-g.ravelrycache.com/uploads/Wovenflame/874337109/20220905_165501_small2.jpg)
