Notes

Knitted as a rectangular shawl. Used the lace chart only as a base for the project. Knitted 2 rectangular pieces and grafted them together with kithener stitch in the back. Finally I made a shrug out of it by sewing the arms.

20/1 2015 Project remake is on.
It turned out this was not as useful as I first thought as it have been laying in the wardrobe all alone. I bought another skein of the same yarn and in the same colour number, I thought. The new colour was about the same but a whole LOT darker. Better then too close but not the same I guess. It looks good together.

I picked up stitches around the edge all around and knitted 1x1 rib. Increased some in the front and a whole lot of short rows to make the collar narrower in the neck.
