I finished knitting my latest shawl last night. I'm very excited. It was scary there in the beginning casting on 1095 stitches (for that ruffle on the bottom) and I didn't quite get how I could decrease on every row and end on the wide/top part of the shawl, but that all worked out. I really like the ruffle and the wrap-around-and-tie-in-back style.
The detail is that there is an i cord decrease, so even though I could tell before the end that I was knitting a tiny garment, I couldn't figure out how to reduce the rate of decreasing and keep the nice i cord edge. It was not my original intent to make a shawl that fits an 8 year old so well. I hope at least she'll wear it.

Love the shawl.........where does the pattern come from, and what size needles did you use?
