Notes

Lovely shawlette, lovely shades of grey! Handu’s yarn is soft, hopefully weathers well and the shawlette will keep its shape. Finished size:

  • 150 x 48 cm
  • increases up to 201 sts
  • 4 times Chart A
  • 1 time Chart B

July 9, 2011. Off the needles and in the wash. Thank God for the life line. Chart B was a yarn eater; had to unravel down to the 4th Chart A and start Chart B straigth away. Only a tiny mound of yarn left.

July 5, 2011. Modified the free pattern into a larger version according to Liz’s instructions: increases in the stockinette stitch section up to 201 sts. Now done 4 times Chart A, inserted a life line; want to optimize the yardage, I’ve got 34 gms yarn left. See if I can make A for the 5th time and then proceed to Chart B.

July 3, 2011 The gun metal shades of the yarn work just beautifully with this pattern. I love it already!
