I have been working steadily on my second Liken shawl. I wasn't as diligent as I should have been when it came to weighing my skeins as I went, but I've gotten myself back on track. I put together a spreadsheet after finishing 3 repeats of Lace Chart A and did some figuring to see how much yarn I needed to complete the shawl and how I wanted to work the rest of the charts. When I finished up Clue 2 I had enough of Color A (Divinity) to work the last clue (Chart F) and do the bind off. Serendipity.
I then tackled Clue 3 - Chart B. I decided to work 4 rows of Color B (Cherry Garcia) instead of the 2 called for in the pattern. This lets me use up a lot more of Color B, plus I really like the color and wanted more of it in the shawl. At this point I have enough yarn to work one repeat of each of the remaining charts, with extra rows of Color B for Charts C and D.
Pattern: Liken Shawl by Sivia Harding, modified to be a circular cape rather than a semi-circle
Yarn: Zen Yarn Garden Serenity 20 in Divinity, Cherry Garcia and Chestnut
Needle: US 4 (3.5 mm)
