It began as a version of Lily Chin's shawl in Knitter's Fall 2000 ("Dramatic Drape Update," page 130), but in the end there were elements of the pattern that I found not to my liking. In wearing, under the weight of that much silk and cotton, the original configuration simply would have wrenched the cast on apart.

I eventually made so many modifications to the pattern on the fly that mine would be just about unrecognizable set beside the original's photo.

It was a pretty picture, but I'm happy with how mine turned out. Thanks for the encouraging comments!

Thanks for viewing my photo - it's nice to meet you!

My trouble with charts is trying to figure out what happens when there are decreases- if I've decreased a stitch by knitting two together, say number 18 and 19, is the next stitch to be worked #19 or 20 ? Seems simple but I'm a bit confused.

Thank you for the author recommendation. The books look interesting.

Enjoy your shawl!

Hugs,
Kelley

About Me:

I am a secretary at a college football office, although I really couldn't tell you a thing about the sport. I am a licensed hairstylist, but I only do a few freinds and family. I love to knit. I think when I gave up working in a salon it left a void for creativity, which knitting fills perfectly. I am married to a great guy (Dan) and I have 3 dogs (Zoe [a Border Collie-Black Lab mix], Oliver [Bichon Frise] & Murray [Bassett Hound]).
