Wavelettes Shawl - Body charts done on second half

When I went to pick up the provisional cast-on I remembered why I don't like these kinds of patterns.  I ended up doing two rows of stockinette stitch before starting the body chart for the second half, and on the first pattern row I did some improvised fudging to get the lace pattern to line up as best I could.  If I were to do this again, I would do a row of purl stitches after the provisional cast on and before starting the lace chart.  I think that would make starting the second half a lot easier.
