Okay…I just started mine.
At row 13:
You start with 25 sts before the marker.
After BO of 8 sts, you have 17 sts left before the marker (one on right needle, 16 on left needle with the marker). You work the 16 sts, i.e. (double yo, k2tog) x8.

OK, I will try again. Clearly it’s something I’m doing, LOL.
Haha @AIMR - I might be a little too ambitious…we’ll see.
You got this!
You’ve already caught up to me! Actually passed me I think with my frogging. looking so good!!
Lol…I am setting it aside for now to finish the tube sock I started
Okay, I’m going to try to jump back into this. I have purchased yarn specifically for shawls (the Virus Shawl and 2 from Simply Crochet magazine, for starters). I’m hoping that I’ll have some time during my brand new Crochet (& Knitting) Club that starts after school tomorrow (at least after a few weeks).
The Virus Shawl is one of my favorite go-tos!
I…started over again, lol.
I’m at row 13…moment of truth…wish me luck!
Update: Past row 14 now and still have 25 stitches on the one side of the marker. So far so good…
Look at you!! Well done!!! I knew you can do it
Tbh, the 25 sts before/after the marker is the most crucial bit since that’s where you bind off and cast on again. The other remaining sts, if you’re off a smidge it might look wonky but shouldn’t throw you off by much.
I, erm, might or might not have found a pocket of time to knit yesterday…so I have done 9 repeats. It’s gonna take longer to do each repeat as it progresses…
Yes, I think the only upside of starting this pattern over so many times is I really get the sequence now, lol.
9 repeats! That’s awesome!
Here’s my handy tracker so I don’t lose my place…I’m still on my first repeat.
Haha…I can see the organization!
Tries not to make eye contact with the neglected shawl languishing in a basket nearby while reading about all this shawl productivity going on in other houses
I went into the fancy yarn shop at lunch and squeezed a few delicious skeins. The neglected baby afghan in my bag wouldn’t let me buy anything though.
It’s my only knitting project right now, so it’s getting all my attention. But hmmm, I want to start another pair of socks soon. The change to cooler weather is making me want to knit!
I know how that feels…I keep putting yarns in my online shopping carts and abandoning the carts when I see the laundry baskets full of yarn in my craft space.
I am motoring along…I suggest putting a marker on the RS of your work…a couple of times, I almost did the skk, kfb on the lace section of the shawl…that would definitely give you one extra stitch!
I am only having to count rows 3 and 4 as I have the pattern memorized so you can see my chicken scratches on the back of the pattern…
The yarn I am using is a heathered tweed wool…it will block nicely.
Yes, I think it’s very possible I did this. I am 100% aware of which stitch goes where and how it relates to the fabric I’m creating…now, lol. Just took me 5-6 restarts to get there.
You’re doing awesome!!
I get distracted a lot so I have to set up visual cues either on the pattern or the project itself…anything to help me remember what I am doing…it really is a nice pattern, with just enough to keep the real boring parts in control!
