Notes

09.06.2016: The border took forever but it was all worth it! My mods:
Knitted a multi-color edge using all the colors here mentioned.
Now I just need to wave in ends, soak and then It will be finished!!!!

24.06.2016: Finally I was able to take some pictures. Not the photos I imagined to take - I am in a hurry to post the package! It must arrive in time for Iris’ birthday!

This shawl is extremly nice to waer! I recommend to knit allthe repeats indicated so it is large enough to be wraped. When you wrap it around your shoulders you instantly feel hugged and beautiful!
I certainly will knit another one for me to wear!

Black and blue is sooooo elegant!
This is for Iris when I visit her in L.A.

04.04.2016
I am having troubles following the chart of the original pattern. I am a chart knitter though, much more than a written explanation knitter. Well, finally I took the time to redraft the visual chart the way Barbara G. Walker draws her mosaic patterns. This is much more easy for me to follow.
