Clearly I only have to post about finishing what I’ve started to find myself, the very next day, starting on something new.

I am mid-POTW myself. Just a note though – pattern calls for 800 YARDS laceweight, I bought 880 METERS, and ran completely out of yarn while only 30% done the edging. It is a handpaint so it’s causing some serious difficulties as I can’t get any more. I’ll have to rip off the edging, choose a complementary yarn, and do it all over again. So, no Christmas present for my MIL and a crapload of wasted time and effort, not to mention stress on the merino yarn, which has a tendency to felt on the needles.

But it’s so preeeetty!

I agree with Dawn, the yarn is beautiful. Please share the brand and colorway!

I understand how you feel. There are just so many fun things one can knit!

Oh good! Mum wanted to knit Eunny’s stole so much but she can’t understand the pattern, especially the edging and border! Maybe someone of your experience and skills can guide the beginners along. And we love the colour of the yarn you have picked and can’t wait to see it finished!

beautiful :-) I’m sure you already found the errata but in case you didn’t, here they are – they caused me great anxiety. I made a rather large swatch and then decided to put this shawl aside…

There is a mistake in the edging on Chart B. I thought it was just me forever but when I noticed I had the wrong number of stitches in the same rows repeat after repeat I finally started searching for errata (rows 9, 11, 13, 15 need a k2tog as the penultimate stitch).
