I found this picture by Googling, by the way.
This is the bloody cursed Onerva shawl. I did not make this. I mentioned it in a comment yesterday – I attempted it with lace weight yarn (think thread weight) twice. The first time I learned the benefits of a life line. The second time I realized that the pattern was actually a hot mess and attempted to rewrite it. Apparently there used to be a chart floating about the interwebs, but I can’t find it and I have difficulty with charts so I never printed that out. Or perhaps I did, and it’s hidden in a file somewhere on a zip drive amongst the pile of zip drives that is so big that even thinking about searching through them makes me want to drink.
I restarted it in worsted weight yarn – not caring if it was off gauge, I just wanted to figure it out. My rewrite of the pattern is also a hot mess.
It’s basically a mirror image from the center out – so it shouldn’t be that hard to rewrite, right? RIght. (Insert eye roll emoji)
After updating all the stuff for my next round of classes and looking for more classes anywhere – I have a mortgage, people! – I’m going to sit with this thing and redo it. It will not defeat me!
(Please send booze) (And cookies) (And maybe chocolate)

That is a beautiful shawl. I admire your persistence. I can send the cookies and booze in exchange for the canned cheese. Unfortunately for you, the bourbon stays put.

So lovely! It looks like it would be easier to crochet than knit, however. Could you adapt the pattern as fillet crochet?

Possibly / I’m determined to knit this though

Especially since I discovered last night that the chart starts with a k1 on each row and my written directions have K2. My head is gonna explode with this thing

It’s a beautiful shawl. Do a drive search on your computer for the name of the shawl, if it’s in your computer it will bring up where. I’ve had to do that before 😛

Something else I thought of, do a google search for errata for the Onerva shawl maybe that will show something.

Boggles my mind there are people of such far superior dexterity (my broken finger doesn’t help) and intelligence. I have very little patience, and frustrate easily. Dangerous combination.

My mother would say we can’t all be good at everything. I also have little patience and frustrate easily. I am also incredibly stubborn. In other words, this shawl WILL be conquered
