I had just realized that I never showed my finished project for the Summer Solstice Mystery Shawl Knit-along!
I finished so quickly that I almost forgot I actually knit the thing.
Here are the spec's from the project:
Pattern: Summer Solstice Mystery Shawl Knit-along! by Wendy Johnson
Yarn: Ella Rae Lace Merino in Lime Green or other wise known as Color 3
Needles: US 7 circular needle
Started: June 20, 2012
Finished: July 22, 2012
The pattern had called for a US 5 needle, but since I've had experience with Wendy's shawl patterns before I knew I'd have to increase that size. It turned out perfectly. The piece definitely needs a closure as it seems like it wanted to fly away, so that was easily fixed by attaching a button to one end. I use a yarn-over hole as a way to secure it.
I did do some modifications...added all the extra repeats suggested except for the last set in part E of the pattern. I was running out of yarn fast and knew I had to make a choice. The skein has 460 yards and the pattern calls for 420-450 in order to make the smallest size. I knew I wanted length, so I went for it. I ended up with only 5g of yarn left. Enough to add another mitered square to my Left Over Sock Yarn Blanket. Talk about using every inch!!
