Notes

GAUGE: 18 sts x 34 rows = 10 cm (4”) – unblocked
in Stockinette st with 3.75 mm (US 5) needles

It has 150 cm (59”) wide by 76 cm (29.9”) long and used 522 m (570.8 yds) total. It’s quite big considering that I ended up with 231 sts on the needles. The borders are worked in “true” lace, requiring extra attention. I think they worth it, though.

I wanted, for so long, to knit a triangular shawl starting from the tip up and finally started working on that. Added a lace border worked in “true” lace for extra interest.

23.03-27.03 - Sampled this more times than I would like.

27.03 - It seems that I’m on the right track now :-)

19.04 - Blocked it, it’s quite big and even if my preference goes for smaller shawls, I really like it.
I don’t recommend to bind-off with larger needles to avoid curling.

21.04 - Pattern is being written and I’ll post a request to test soon. Hopefully, I’ll take decent pictures tomorrow.

22.04 - I took some photos but the day was mostly cloudy and windy, have to repeat it when when possible.

23.03 - I posted a request at FPT’s.
Pattern is scheduled to be released in May (12 or 13), more info at Seni Designs, I’ll post about it there.

13.05 - Pattern has been released.
