Brandywine.

Another shawlette off the needles and completed...yay! I am so enjoying knitting these and each one is fantastic. Kudos to Romi for a well-written and clear pattern and what was most fun about this pattern is I only used up 88 g of the 100 g skein of Serenity 20 to get a really lovely sized shawl. Blocked, this one is 50" by 21" which is a fantastic size as I prefer my shawls to be slightly larger rather than smaller. The 20% cashmere content also makes the shawl lightweight but warm even with the lace bits....I love it!

If you're coming to Knitter's Frolic in Toronto on May 8th, you'll get to see the shawl on display!

As the reverse stockinette i-cord bind-off was new to me, I thought I'd do up a quick video of its technique in case anyone else was unsure how to do it. I made sure to check with Romi before releasing the video and she has confirmed that my technique is correct...yay for learning new techniques!

Okay, I must have done something wrong. I completed chart A, finished row 1-8 of chart b and can't see how I will repeat it 14 more times when my start row has to many stitiches. Was I supose to repeat each row fifteen times or row 1-8 15 times? It's a beautiful shawl and I would love to get it done. Thanks
