The shawl is still wet and blocking in these photos and there is no time to wait for the shawl to dry. I knitted this in Bendigo Woollen Mills 4ply Luxury in Ice on 3.5 mm circulars. My only modification was to knit an extra repeat of Chart A.
I had a near disaster 4 rows from the finish when my cable broke and I watched my stitches running away from me. It took me ages to transfer the stitches and then carefully pick up the stitches that had run away. Fortunately it is a very easy pattern and I was able to hook the stitches all back in place.
Now as to the travel knitting. I am taking along a pair of socks for the plane trip and the Featherweight cardi for the balmy tropical evenings.
Annie, I will be gone for 3 weeks and will only have intermittent internet access. I have already signed up for the Klabouter KAL but will only be able to knit the shawl when I get back.
Did you mutter something about measurements Mary? I don't think I quite heard you!

Oh Mandy that is gorgeous. It has been on my list of "must do's" since I saw someone wearing one at a show recently, but I think I'm right in saying it has a crochet edging which sends me into a quivering pile at the thought! How did you find the edging?
Another lovely shawl!
Hope you'll have a nice holiday.
10 in 2010 and you're already done?? Unbelievable!! Nice work.
