Notes

I started to knit Haruni with the stockinette stitch part. I especially liked theese ones.

Half way through the lace edge, I ran out of yarn. In stead of frogging it all, I decided to knit the lace edge with some white alpaca.

About 9 rows into the pattern, I thourght it looked weird, so I frogged the edge yet again.

Then it just was there; in my knitting basket - spend most of the summer there, until I saw Mara and Flamboyan. Then I decided to make a simple rib as the edge. Did a lot of increases on the first row, to make sure the rib did not crimped together and knitted until I ran out of yarn again.

Even if I did not got my Haruni, I am very pleased with the outcome - a simple, yet flattering, big shawl. I used ALL of both skeins.
