17 nov - rpt 4 complete
14 nov - 149 rows done. I really think 4 rpts and 3 edgings will be PLENTY big enough. Even 4 rpts and 2 edgings … knit to end of rpt 4 and block pls.

25 oct - finished first rpt again, doing double yo next to i-cord edging. This is better. Frogged other start.
22 oct - finished first rpt of shawl body, bit concerned about tightness of i-cord edge. Cast on again w a difft ball and making a double yo at the start of each row, working only one loop and dropping the other on the next row.
