This one has been sitting in a bit of a time out. When I started this shawl I thought about modifying it so that I worked all of the increases on the right side rows and none on the wrong side rows, but I was feeling lazy and didn’t. I thought I was being careful about working the increases but when I got to the second Eyelet section the pattern didn’t line up the way it was supposed to. I could see that this was just a taste of things to come so this weekend I did the pattern modifications. It gives me two more stitches on each row than the pattern calls for. We’ll see how that affects my yarn usage. I start each right side row with k2, (k, yo, k) in the next stitch, and end with (k, yo, k), k2. This gives me a nice garter stitch edge. When I restarted the shawl I decided to keep the central spine in garter stitch as well. I did make one goof when I was copying and pasting, the final row in the Eyelet section is supposed to be knit, but I have purled mine. I went back and looked at the pictures of my first attempt, and apparently I did it there as well. At least I’m consistent.
