Notes

I need some mindless knitting to do at breaks at school and at home in the evening. I am so tired at the moment - so many meetings.
I also discovered,when I prepared my closet for winter, that I need a second shawl or scarf - one that is petrol.

So I just started this shawlette thing by beginning the same way as when I cast on for Ishbel and Traveling Woman:

CO 3st, work 6 rows, pick up and knit 3 st along the side, then 3 st along the CO row. = 9 st

Working right side like this:
k3, YO, knit to center st, YO, knit Center stitch,YO, knit to last 3 st, YO, k3.

Working wrong side like this:
k3, YO, p to last 3 st, YO, k3.

At some point I might add some easy lace panelling, but right now, it’s just easy mindless knitting.

ETA:
I continued until the shawl was 150 cm wide, then I did one row of K2tg, Yo (actually I did SSK on the first half, K2tgt on the second half), then I knit 6 rows (3 garter st ridges) before binding off using this method: knit 1, knit 1, slip both st back to left needle, SSK, knit 1, slip both st back sto left needle, etc.. which gives a nice stretchy bind off edge.
