Last week I concentrated on finishing up my English Garden shawl, and thanks to coming home early on Wednesday with a migraine I was able to finish it. Here is a shot of it blocking on my spiffy new gridded blocking mats.
When I got to the final green lace section I discovered that I was short 4 stitches (yes, I do make mistakes, and no, I don't always catch them). I didn't know at the time what happened (I didn't really try to figure it out, I just counted my stitches noted the discrepancy and kept knitting), but when I was blocking the shawl I found them - four missed yarn overs on the last increase row. I fudged the lace pattern at the edges to make it work.
Pattern: Snowmelt Shawl by Helen Stewart
Yarn: The Unique Sheep Kiri - Spring Trio - English Garden
Needle: US 4 (3.5 mm)
