trek casts on

This is the embryonic shawl – a.k.a. a shawling – with five pattern repeats finished. I have almost double the yarn specified, so this will be more than a “mini” shawl – that’s good by me. Hm, I am noticing that the color is a bit off here – a bit dark.

The shawl has a four row repeat so I pulled out the jeweler’s pliers today and put together this clever little row counter. Go talk to Turtlegirl for instructions so you can make your own.
