I finished this yesterday, just in time for Clue 6 to come out today. I had no problems with this one, no ripping back. I actually thought it was pretty straight forward, despite all of the warnings in the pattern about how non-intuitive it was and how there was a leap of faith. Nope. Seemed pretty intuitive to me, I could see just where it was going. I stuck with pattern B again. It used a stitch that I’ve done in other shawls where you slip a stitch, knit, yarn over knit the next two stitches and then passed that slipped stitch over. But in this case you didn’t do that yarn over right away. You slipped a stitch, knit two stitches, and then passed the slipped stitch over them. Then on the wrong side row coming back you did a purl, yarn over, purl into those two stitches. It has the effect of keeping that yarn over from getting swallowed up, which I like. I’ll have to remember it.
