I set this aside a couple of weeks ago, distracted by other projects and rebelling a little against my over commitment to knit alongs, but the pictures of the finished shawls inspired me to pick it back up again this past week. I started happily knitting away on the second repeat of the chart, only to realize as I neared the end of the chart that I had not quite finished the first repeat. I was missing the last two rows. Fortunately this doesn't really make a huge difference in the pattern, so I did not feel a need (or a desire) to rip back. But now I was faced with the fact that I would be four rows short on this section. I pondered that for a little bit, looking at the proportions of the finished shawls and decided that I would add a third repeat. I used all of my first skein, which I had intended to do anyway because I really hate having left overs, and switched to the second skein on row 7 of the third repeat. I did not do any transition rows.
