Triangle time

It figures that I wouldn’t notice an error until I posted it on my blog…

There’s a little counting error in my Tina shawl notes. Unfortunately, by the time I made the last post, I’d already cast on the incorrect number of stitches and worked across the first plain row. Oops!

Oh well. No other mishaps since then, and I’ve already completed the center triangular section.

I tried a new provisional cast on for this project – the first invisible cast on illustrated in Part 4 of Eunny Jang’s “Majoring in Lace” series. After trying this cast on for one of my swatches, I decided that this method is my new favorite provisional cast on. Very fast and easy!

I’ve been pretty single-minded about this project so far. The stitch pattern for chart 1 required very little attention, so it was a good thing to work on while watching World Cup games. And, since I couldn’t get to the more interesting charts until I finished this section, that gave me even further incentive to keep working on this.

Next step: picking up stitches around the triangle!
