Notes

Construction very like Song of Spring with lace on both the right and wrong sides of the center triangle.

If you use markers to mark the repeats on chart B your markers will move, taking a stitch from the next section on rows 3, 5, and 7. I used 4 markers for this chart. I kept a marker between the 2 stitches from the t2r, and the 2 stitches from the t2l. I also marked the section covered by the repeats in the repeat brackets.

On chart D I used a clip marker to mark the center stitch (This marker didn’t move up the knitting.), and markers for the 2 edge stitches on the ends of the rows.

On chart E I marked the garter edge stitches, and the ends of the 2 large repeat sections on the right and left of the shawl. I didn’t find marking the actual middle stitch on the row helpful, but having the clip lower down meant that I could check it if I needed to.

On row 17 of the written the number of repeats represented by the brackets in the written changes. I moved my markers accordingly.

I started chart G with 5 g of yarn left, and ended it with 2 yards 14 inches left. I therefore made the logical decision to change yarn before starting the BO. My BO is done with some of a cone of similar weight Alpaca in a chocolate brown that I think goes with my original yarn well. I decided to forgo picots on this one to down play the edge and let the main yarn shine.

Yarn usage:
Started with 112g
Chart A : 4g
Chart B1 : 8g
Chart B2 : 7g
Chart B3 : 6g
Chart B4 : 4g
Chart B5 : 4g
Chart B6 : 3g
Chart B7 : 2g
Chart C : 2g
Chart D : 9g
Chart E : 40g
Chart F : 18g
Chart G : 5g (I had 2 yards And 14 inches left.)
BO : different yarn

Finished shawl 117g

21in x 63 in

I should have probably used a size smaller needle with hindsight being what it is, but I like my result as is, so it’s not being frogged.
