Notes

I’ve been drooling over the lovely Boo shawls for many months while recovering from an injury and unable to knit. I couldn’t decide which shawl to start. There are so many beautiful choices. However, I kept coming back to the shawls in the In Love Collection, especially Sweet Dreams.

5/10/14 Cast on and started having trouble with the YO’s on the purl side. My holes on the left of center were correct but on the right side they were closed. Fixed the YO between the purl stitch and knit stitch and corrected the problem thanks to Janet at my LYS, Knitche. :). Smooth sailing after that.

Knit to 181 stitches.Had to put the shawl on hold until I found the beads. Using Toho 6mm ballerina pink AB transparent beads. Repeated chart B twice.

Picot bind off took hours! Next time I’ll crochet it. Love how this shawl turned out. It’s pretty huge after blocking. It didn’t fit completely on my blocking mat. More to wrap up in. :). Very easy pattern which gives dramatic results. Will definitely knit this again…..maybe the small size using one skein.
