Let's Knit #11 - No. 3 Shawl

I started knitting the shawl last night while watching (listening is more what I was doing)a baseball game on T.V.

I am using JaggerSpun Zephyr Wool-Silk Yarn, colour: Iris. I have completed the first chart (row 1 - 26). It went smoothly without a hitch. The only complaint I have is that the print (chart) is too small.

I asked DH to copy & enlarge the charts for me. I will take a photo of my progress and add it to the post later tonight.




















This was taken after Row 50.
Now that I have started, I am eagaer to continue.

Margaret,
forgot to ask you. How did you cast on the first 7 stitches? Did you use the 'Flower Basket' shawl cast on method?

thanks,
Silvia

Yes. I use the "Flower Basket" CO method, as I find that it's stronger at the top center area.
