Notes

The yarn is lovely and the finished blocked shawl is huge. The knitted material is very light and the yarn is quite pleasant next to skin. The grey/blue color of the yarn is quite complimentary to my wardrobe and quite wearable almost all-year-round.

It took me a year to complete it, a lot of ribbing and 1000 m of yarn showed it’s will.

I struggled a bit with the last section as on the pattern images it seems like it’s not as long, but mine ended up being with over 30 stitches still on the left side of the central line, which would mean 60 rows to complete the section. I ended up decreasing on WS as well, to make the last ribbing section a bit shorter and also in order not to run out of yarn. It payed off and after blocking, the shape of the shawl is just fine.
