Hmmmm........

Here we see the Mystery Shawl with part of Clue 2 completed. Notice anything distressing?


That's right, the patterns do not line up. No it's not a mistake, that is how it was written.

And this perfectly points out why I was leary of knitting something without a picture. To me this looks like someone just slapped a few lace patterns together and called it a design.

But I'm willing to give it a chance. It kind of looks like a heart surrounded diamonds.. so maybe it's okay.... but what happens at the next Clue when the pattern changes again????

I'm going to wait and let a few other people get farther along and view their pictures before I make any decisions on whether or not to continue.

They yarn is so nice I want to make sure I really like whatever is made out of it.

Birch was at 50% complete yesterday. See how I said "was"? I dropped a stitch on the edge and had to rip back. If the dropped stitch had been anywhere but the edge I might have tried to fix it without ripping, but no matter what I did the repair broke the line of the edging so out it came. Only about 10 rows, but still....
