I can finally show my shawl. I finished this up last Sunday but couldn't post about it until today. As I stated in my previous post, I skipped clue 1 and started with clue 2 so I would have a larger neck opening. This meant that I had to do a long garter stitch tab - 162 rows - and picked up 81 stitches along the side and 3 stitches along the bottom. I also added extra rows between the lace motifs to avoid working lace stitches on wrong side rows.
I also worked clue 2 on my 3/4 shawl clue 1 test knit. I realized as I was looking at the later clues that I needed to work more stitches for the 3/4 shawl version and I wanted to test out the increase row that I had worked out.
I still think the 3/4 shawl would look better if clue 1 were left out. To do that all you do is a garter stitch tab with 146 rows, picking up 73 stitches along the side and three along the bottom.
