Still not feeling the love :(
Okay... I am now working in garter stitch. It sure does make it easier to do those decreases, but I'm not feeling the love of the pattern. I've done the first 4 rows of the beginning chart (I think it is the middle of the shawl) and it took me close to 1.5 hours to do them!!! That is NOT very fast. I'm going to give it another couple of rows and if I still don't like it, I might trying changing the yarn. If that doesn't help then I'm outta here LOL. Actually, I'd probably still lurk and comment.
Maybe I'll get some of that yarn that Eunny used for her Fire Flowers and Leaves... looks like magical yarn :)
Cheers y'all, Eva - who's just heard on the radio that close to 7 inches of snow fell during the night... I'm fed up with this white fluffy stuff

Oh no! I'm starting to feel real fear about this project now! I'm sure the love will kick in soon! ;-) Keeping my fingers crossed... for all of us, LOL! Take care and stay warm! :-)

Don't give up unless you've done one full repeat of the chart! The first run-through took me forever, but now I'm zipping along, because it all seems to connect in the brain once you've done it! I wasn't sure I liked it, either, but now that I'm on the second repeat, it's moving along, and I only have to glance at the chart once at the beginning of each row.
