Had some time today and decided to work on Linda Jensen's Twisty Shawl. Not much of a pattern and I didn't take... well... any notes to clarify Linda's notes. I've vowed to be a better note taker in the future. While I'm sitting there watching the demonstration I think, "I got this" and don't take very many if any notes. Then a few months later when I try the pattern or technique I have so many questions. So, decided to just jump in and answer my questions as I went. Like "What do I do if I don't have that pattern for the tuck stitch?" "What kind of cast on did you use?" "What kind of yarn works with this pattern?" I picked a couple punch cards and knitted until a punch card made a pattern I liked. I e-wrapped since that side is going to be sewn up I figured the edge didn't need to look pretty. I had a thinner pretty wool and it knitted up nicely. It's not as drappy as I'd like, but I think it will work out nicely any ways.
Linda gave this pattern out in the class she gave. I used my bulky machine with a punch card. It's a rectangle 52 inches long. I think I might make mine a few inches shorter. This was falling off my shoulders. I made this for my mom and I think it will be just right for her. She's going to love it.
