This has been on the hook for too many years. It got parked when I couldn’t count and the wave pattern wouldn’t work! Despite counting the stitches many times, I just couldn’t!
I picked it up recently when looking for a different UFO and was determined to finish it.
And I’m calling it done. The last rows are not as the pattern is written but I didn’t want to get into a mess with the pattern again so finished as it started, kind of. Needs a wash and blocking, but that’s a whole other project

You did it! It looks beautiful! The colors gradiated out perfectly. I am glad you figured out a way to finish even if you didn’t follow the pattern. It is wearable and just gorgeous.
Yesterday it was warm enough to sit outside and craft, so I sat by the river and thought…. I could spend 20+ hours doing the remaining 20ish rows and messing up the stitches or I could get a finish!!
My 50 projects goals for the year - FINISH 2 long term WIPs.
This is definitely one of them. And I’m not gonna lie, it’ll probably get used before washing and blocking happens
Congratulations! Your Kalinda Shawl is a Featured Project this week!
