Progress on the Mermaid Shawl

I thought I’d show you my progress on my Undine striped shawl today. I really like what the self-striping yarn is doing:Undine shawl by Deborah Cooke knit in Crazy Zauberball by Deborah CookeYou can also see how the hem is beginning to flutter. If I held that top edge (the one on the right) straight, it would ripple even more.

I’ll start to decrease the width of the shawl once I’ve used half of the yarn. The easiest way to determine that point is to weigh the balls of yarn. (I use the kitchen scale.) They were each 100g when I started. Now they’re both around 75g. When they get to 52 g or so, I’ll start to decrease. I want to make sure the shawl is symmetrical, so might do something different at the midpoint. We’ll see when I get there.

In the meantime, what do you think?
