It had to be there somewhere, and I managed to find it. How to increase the width of the repeats in Old Shell. There is a lovely circular shawl in "A Gathering of Lace" which uses precisely this manoeuvre, and the chart provided tells me that my workings out were right on track. So I can make a start.Correction. I have made a start. I have wound the skein of Helens Lace (colour Bucks Bar) that I brought home from last year's Knitting and Stitching show. It is all getting so exciting: I may need to go and have a little lie down.
Thinking back to the show, I still find myself thinking of the lovely Swedish mother and daughter that we met on the way there, and hoping that they found it as good as they had hoped. It is one of the games my daughter and I play on the tube on the way there - spot the crafty ladies. Almost as big a pleasure as the yarn is the selection of interesting strangers we get to talk to.

That was why I was being a bit baffled on the phone the other night - I didn't realise you were talking about a half-hap from the Hap Shawls book, and all I could think of was the one you found in 'A Gathering of Lace', so I couldn't see why the increases weren't charted.
By the way, I sorted tickets on Monday.
this is beautiful yarn.
