I wanted a larger shawl, so instead of repeating the bottom edging 129 times, I repeated it 147. This made the number of stitches picked up 295 instead of 259. The repeats on the edging are 8 per side instead of 7.

Honestly, were I making it for myself, I would have gone MUCH larger, probably at least doubling the edging rows, and elongating the wingspan. (3 increases every 2 rows?)

I’m more-or-less following the instructions by http://www.ravelry.com/projects/phenleyss/andreas-shawl.
Recommendation:
On the body section, count stitches between markers (or relocate markers) BEFORE beginning the eyelets (Row 3). I somehow managed to be off count by 2, and it wasn’t until I belatedly relocated my markers that I realized the problem. (Fortunately, I had to rip only 2 rows. But I didn’t learn, and the second time I had to rip many more. I really should pause the movie I’m watching long enough read the notes I write to myself. Duh.)

Also on Row 3 of eyelet section:

• I started the row with k, k, k2tog, yo….
• At the center, I did a yo, k2tog, k1, p1, k1, ssk, yo (the purl was the center stitch)
• On the first half, I did k2togs; on the second half, ssks. Not sure if it’s significant -- maybe I can tell a few rows ahead as I look back.

Top edging, from http://www.ravelry.com/projects/pattepoilue/andreas-shawl

To pick up the right number of stitch for the top edge border I -- picked up 1 stitch in every garter ridge 4 times then added an extra stitch -- repeat to the end (plus 1 or two extra to get 93 stitches on each side).

I wasn’t so precise and instead marked off the top into 5 more or less equal length segments and picked up extra stitches where there seemed to be gaps in my tension. I picked up 210 total stitches (170 + 24 + 8 + 8), since the incremental difference between sizes was 24 stitches. It seems to have worked out ok.

Also note: I measured two skeins of the yarn when winding it into a ball, and both measured closer to 200 yds than 230 yds. So the shawl possibly used 600 yds rather than 700 yds.
