If you're planning to knit this shawl using the written instructions don't. They are different from the chart. The charted instructions are correct but I'm still waiting for the designer to get back to me with her erratas on the written instructions!
It's been an okay knit but because of the kfb stitches in row 19, I've had to put in a safety line after row 18. It's very easy to make mistakes at row 20 because of all the k2tog and ssk stitches. And correcting mistakes at this row is very hazardous to your health, or anyone else's who might be in the room/house, if you don't have a saftey line in place. Just sayin!
I spun some wine/brown corriedale fibre purchased from Rose Haven Farms in Picton, Ontario for this shawl. What a great fibre this is, the colour is so rich. Actually I don't really know the color, at the store in the lights I thought I was purchasing red, when I got home it appeared wine and in the night lights it appears brown. So it's a mystery, and I love a mystery!
Can't wait to wear this shawlette this fall/winter, who knows what color it will be in that light!
