I've restarted this pattern (Pincha shawl)...for the third, possibly fourth time!
For various reasons, I just could not "get it going" the other times I tried it...
I kept messing up - and having to start over. And then found out I was doing the wrap and turns wrong - arghhh! Aside from that...I didn't care for the yarns I was trying out on it - each time I started over! So I set it aside for awhile. Then finally got out last week and found some yarn I love and it is working out perfectly for it! I write up all the patterns I knit onto index cards - row by row. And this one, I did the same - I have every single solitary row written down - even the repeats of certain rows! And I'm slowly knitting along, with no issues - so far! Keeping my fingers crossed as I really love this pattern!
The book is one I'm re-reading - it is non-fiction. I recently bought the sequel. So once I finish my re-read of this one, I will get started on it! I love books that take place in Paris!

Have you been to Paris, Linda? Your yarn is pretty!!
Paula,
I've never been to Paris - but have always wanted to go... but they would have to drug me up good and throw me on the plane! ha!
