Notes

I LOVE this yarn! So soft and lovely to knit with (I like knitting lace with wool, but don’t love it against my neck.)
The pattern is really clear, well-written, and quite fun to knit.
Modified border: color A for 1st 2 rows, B for picot. Feel this has more continuity and lightness.
I’m disappointed in my color choices - the risk of a mystery shawl. I would have at least done lace in A, but didn’t order enough yarn. Prefer the shawls with A and B similar depths of color, even tonal.
Clue 1 finished 6/2/13.
Clue 2 delayed a bit to make stitch markers. :-)
Clue 2 finished 6/16/13.
Clue 4 finished 7/20/13…on to weaving in ends and blocking.
7/23/13 dimensions: 64x32 blocked
